What Fiction are you reading this week, June 25, 2023? [View all]





Reading Lie Beside Me by Gytha Lodge. "In this gripping novel, a young woman finds that trying to make sense of her life's bad choices might prove the most dangerous reckoning there is."

A couple of days ago I finished City of Endless Night by Preston & Child. At the end was a short About the Authors page which mentioned their website and how fans would likely enjoy what they had to offer there. Well, sign me up! Which I did and got a nice email from them welcoming me to the group and access to a free short story they wrote. If you like their books you should probably check this out...

Listening to The Beginner's Goodbye by Anne Tyler. "A beautiful, subtle exploration of loss and recovery, pierced throughout with humor, wisdom, and a penetrating look at human foibles."
