What Fiction are you reading this week, November 21, 2021? [View all]

Sometimes you just need to lie on the couch and read for a couple of years.

Yeah. This.


Reading Bloody Mary by J. A. Konrath. This is good. Woman detective; smart, funny. A wicked serial killer whose vicious acts the reader is privy to. You can tell he's one of a certain group in this story, but which one. Wish my library had more of Konrath's books. He's written over 40 but we only have a few.

Listening to Sixth Grave on the Edge by Darynda Jones. Book 6 of the Charley Davidson series. (I only just now got that play on words.) Charley finds a naked corpse riding shotgun in her car. Then, a man loses his soul in a card game. Throw in a deaf boy who sees dead people, a woman running from mobsters, and a very suspicious boyfriend, and things can't get any worse. Unless, of course, the Twelve Beasts of Hell are unleashed. "Sometimes I wrestle my demons. Sometimes we just snuggle." -- Bumper Sticker

Wishing you all a safe, happy and peaceful Thanksgiving. What books will you gobble up this week?
