What Fiction are you reading this week, May 16, 2021? [View all]



University of Aberdeen Library, Scotland


Still working my way through Troubled Blood. Halfway there now. I find it interesting that each chapter opens with quotes from the poem The Faerie Queene by Edmund Spenser, which I find interminably long and impossible to understand. Wondering if that's supposed to be like a warning of some sort...

Just started listening to Randy Wayne White's Sanibel Flats. I've been looking forward to this highly-recommended series of Florida-based mysteries, involving marine biology, for some time now. A few days ago someone posted a video in The Lounge of this area so that's helping me better imagine the place.

What are you looking forward to reading this week?
