What Fiction are you reading this week, Apr. 18, 2021? [View all]



Pull up a seat and a book.

Still reading The Grammarians. It's pretty good; just a tale about American life. But I'm missing my mysteries so I just picked up Crooked River by Preston & Child, #19 in the Agent Pendergast series. "Racing to uncover the mystery of several severed feet found floating in the Gulf of Mexico, Agent Pendergast is faced with the most inexplicable challenge of his career." Sounds great and can't wait to get started on it tomorrow.

It's getting to be really difficult to find anything from my list available in free audible books. But, I did find Unclean Spirits by Chuck Wendig, an original urban fantasy novel, the first in a series. Horror, dark, grim and bloody. Not for the faint of heart. Suitable for while I work in the kitchen. I only just started it yesterday and I suspect it will be quite interesting, and unusual.

So, what's interesting on your reading list this week?
