What Fiction are you reading this week, August 21, 2022? [View all]



Thanks for all your good wishes. I am much better but still so tired all the time. From what I've read I guess it takes about 2 weeks to run its course so I guess I have a few days left to go. I do hope you all are staying well. Even though cases are now mostly "mild", it still sucks big time.

I am reading Stone Cribs by Kris Nelscott, a pen name for Kristine Kathryn Rusch. Rusch has over 400 titles to her many names including stories for Star Trek and Deep Space Nine. Stone Cribs is the 4th in the Smokey Dalton mystery/detective series which takes place back in the '60s and '70's in Memphis and Chicago. Lots of history, most of it unpleasant.

Listening to The Secret, Book & Scone Society by Ellery Adams. "The first in an intriguing new series set within a quirky small-town club where the key to happiness, friendship -- or solving a murder -- can all be found within the pages of the right book..." Good stuff.

What books will you be curling up with this week?
