What Fiction are you reading this week, July 7, 2024? [View all]
Milwaukee Children's Library
Don't be ashamed about reading children's books. Adult books are about sad people having affairs while kid's books have a magic tree house or a worm driving an apple.
So, I'm reading The Thief of Always by Clive Barker. I've never read any of his stories but was looking for something to distract me from the horror that is going on in this country right now. This was a good choice. Sure, it's a kid's book but that just means it's easy to read and Barker's illustrations are quite entertaining. And a bit creepy.
Listening to Storm Watch by C. J. Box. Wyoming Game Warden Joe Pickett investigates a mysterious death at a secret remote high-tech facility in this riveting new novel. Very timely, we've got crypto mining and local militant activists (speaking of current horrors, Box really nails it). I like reading about snow storms when the weather is scorching outside. It sure will be this week.
What will you be reading about this week?
Stay cool, my friends.
