What Fiction are you reading this week, November 9, 2025?

[hermetic]

I listened to Anima Rising by Christopher Moore, “A brilliant amalgamation of history, literature, horror, humor and humanity." Basically, it's about life and art. Which makes it a good companion piece to the book I'm still reading, My Friends, by Fredrik Backman, which is also about art, and life. Almost at the end of this book, my next read will be I Inherited a Mixed Animal from Uncle Living in Woods, The DU-inspired novel by Richard Martin. Looking forward to it.

Now I'm listening to Witchcraft for Wayward Girls by Grady Hendrix, "a searing, completely original novel." That it is. I love this line: "I'm not a witch; I'm a librarian." Wayward girls in the 1970s are sent to an old house in St. Augustine, Florida, where unwed mothers are hidden by their families to have their babies in secret, then give them up for adoption, and most important of all, to forget any of it ever happened.

Happy Veterans Day Tuesday, in gratitude to all who have served.
