What Fiction are you reading this week, August 22, 2021? [View all]


Support your local libraries!


Just finished The Winter King by Bernard Cornwell. Whew. Heck of a book. Need something a bit lighter now and hoping Hope Never Dies by.Andrew Shaffer is just the thing. "For everyone nostalgic for the Obama/Biden administration, HOPE NEVER DIES re-casts the president and vice-president as amateur sleuths in a quirky mystery-adventure." Had to buy this one since you can't find it in any library around here. I've got the next one, too.

Listening to One of Our Thursdays is Missing by Jasper Fforde. "Fforde has a field day, gleefully blending satire, romance, and thriller with literary allusions galore in a fantastic adventure through the landscape of a frisky and fertile imagination." Yep.

What books do you hope to find good-reading this week?
