What Fiction are you reading this week, January 23, 2022? [View all]


Stay in, stay warm, and read.


YAY! I am reading State of Terror, by...you guessed it...Hilary Clinton and Louise Penny! A novel of unsurpassed thrills and incomparable insider expertise. A unique and utterly compelling international thriller. I love it. It starts off with a bang, so to speak. Then the tension just keeps growing. The references to the "previous administration" are spot on and quite horrifying. I like how the previous guy is named Dunn and his cabinet are flying monkeys. But I really love the photo of the two beautiful, intelligent women on the back cover.
I keep that side up at my bedside as a reminder of how strong we women need to be these days.

Listening to another C. J. Box novel, Dark Sky. Joe Pickett must accompany a Silicon Valley CEO on a hunting trip into the Wyoming wilderness. But he soon finds out that they are the hunted.
