What Fiction are you reading this week, September 17, 2023? [View all]


Lauriston Castle

Reading The Golden Spoon by Jessa Maxwell It was a dark and stormy night, deep in the woods of Vermont and Grafton Manor. I like how the author employed this cliche to start the story. Then we jump back in time and meet the 6 contestants who were chosen to participate in the yearly Bake Week competition for America's Best Baker. Which takes place at the mansion. Where eventually someone is murdered. Fun characters with lots of secrets, sure to whet your appetite for more.

Listening to Forever Odd by Dean Koontz. "You're invited on an unforgettable journey through a world of terror and transcendence to wonders beyond imagining. And you can have no better guide than Odd Thomas." Just started this and so far it's actually funny. "Terror" along the lines of Beetlejuice, oddly enough. Love it.

What books are you enjoying this week?
