What Fiction are you reading this week, November 7, 2021?
Time is sure flying by.
Nice to be given an extra hour today.
I am reading Ash Wednesday by Ralph McInerny,. This is my first Father Dowling mystery although it's the 28th in the series. Seems like a series that doesn't need to be read in order. This story questions whether a conviction is always proof of guilt. Interesting so far. Some amusing characters.
I have First Grave on the Right by Darynda Jones cued up to start listening to tonight. I've already heard two in this fun series and have been waiting for the first one to become available. Finally!
What books have you found time to enjoy this week?
= new reply since forum marked as read
Ty for sharing! 
Great read! Ty for the rec!
Read "The 4 Agreements," 2 Mrs. Pollifax adventures, & "The Easyway For Women to Stop Smoking."
Probably a few I've forgotten.
😱 The Father Dowling series is in book form? I loved that show! Ty!
As I was reading this Father Dowling I kept thinking that it sounded like it would be a great TV show. Now I'll have to look for that.
Sister Stephanie solves them all. 🙌
Enjoy!
I would hate to start on Book #9 when there are 8 others.
Not sure if they are all the same characters. 
I get all mine as e-books from the library, so not sure. I'd have a 2nd mortgage every month if I bought all the books I read.
of a pile of new books. Impossible to resist. 
at some of the conventions that you attend. She's got 27 books so far, 4 different series. She writes about the paranormal, fantasy, mystery, vampires, etc. She's quite entertaining.
Edited to add: Plus, she lives in NM, so there's that. 
The Girls sounds pretty intense. "A breathtaking novel, one that no reader will soon forget, a heartrending story of love between sisters."
god it's almost over. It is a depressing book, though I learned from the historical parts.
My sister recently read a YA book and recommended it to me, so I downloaded Michael Bornstein, Debbie Bornstein Holinstat, Survivors Club: The True Story of a Very Young Prisoner of Auschwitz.
In 1945, in a now-famous piece of World War II archival footage, four-year-old Michael Bornstein was filmed by Soviet soldiers as he was carried out of Auschwitz in his grandmother’s arms. Survivors Club tells the unforgettable story of how a father’s courageous wit, a mother’s fierce love, and one perfectly timed illness saved his life, and how others in his family from Zarki, Poland, dodged death at the hands of the Nazis time and again with incredible deftness. Working from his own recollections as well as extensive interviews with relatives and survivors who knew the family, Michael relates his inspirational Holocaust survival story with the help of his daughter, Debbie Bornstein Holinstat. Shocking, heartbreaking, and ultimately uplifting, this narrative nonfiction offers an indelible depiction of what happened to one Polish village in the wake of the German invasion in 1939.
My 2 little foster kittens went to a rescue shelter for FIV+ cats last week and our house is too quiet. We miss them so much.
Thanks for the weekly thread, hermetic. Hope everyone is in this frame of mind[img]
[/img]Stocking up for winter. I expect to do a bit of that myself this week, while the weather is still tolderable.
I know how hard it can be to stay with a story that is so depressing. But, such is life.
I hope your kitties find a long and happy life. My "fosters" have definitely become permanent residents. The baby is one of the cutest kitties ever and she gets along with all the old timers here. Her mom, though, still spends a lot of time hiding and growling although she is always getting just a little better. She needs to have her baby here to show her that life can be good. I know this is going to take some time. Luckily, time is something I have a lot of. Right now, anyway.
