What Fiction are you reading this week, July 27, 2025? [View all]



I still can't read. When I went to have cataract surgery on Tuesday they saw my heart wasn't beating right. After a few tests the surgeon said I needed to go to the Emergency Room. The nurse there tested my heart and called for an EKG, stat. Two hours later I was on an operating table having a pacemaker installed. A couple of days in the hospital and now I'm home and feel mostly okay. The incision is quite painful and I can't use my left arm for a while. And my eye surgery is now Aug 5. So, ever onward.

I'm listening to The September House by Carissa Orlando. I waited several months to get this one. It's quite unusual. A woman buys a house that turns out to be haunted. Very. It gets quite gory but is also funny. And there's a whole lot of "language." Definitely not a book for everyone.

Hope you all are in good health and enjoying a good book or two.
