What Fiction are you reading this week, May 15, 2022? [View all]


Birchbark Books Mpls.

Reading The Sentence by Louise Erdrich, pub 2021. This book is about, well, a great many things. Sentences, a wickedly funny ghost story, passion, a complex marriage, and of a woman's relentless errors. It's an absolute joy to read, as well as quite thought provoking.

Listening to Riviera Gold by Laurie R. King, pub. 2020. "Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes turn the Riviera upside down to crack their most captivating case yet. The Riviera in 1925 is a playground for the rich, built on corruption and greed. It is a place where treasure can be false, where love can destroy, and where life can be cheap." Lee Child calls this series “the most sustained feat of imagination in mystery fiction today.”
