What Fiction are you reading this week, December 10, 2023? [View all]




Reading A Dark Matter by Peter Straub, an electric, chilling, and unpredictable novel that proves Straub to be "a master of modern horror.'" It's sure holding my attention.

I am also reading, online, Solitude Creek by Jeffery Deaver. This is about a police investigation into a horrible incident and is quite good. Plenty of suspense and surprises. You can read it for free on your computer here: https://onlinereadfreenovel.com/jeffery-deaver/32688-solitude_creek_read.html

Listening to Tom Lake by Ann Patchett and read by Meryl Streep. A meditation on youthful love, married love, and the lives parents have led before their children were born. A lovely story about an aspiring actress, and who better to read it than Streep. An absolute delight.
