What Fiction are you reading this week, March 24, 2019? [View all]

Coimbra University's 18th century baroque library, Portugal

Nice article about how the library uses bats to keep its incredibly old and priceless manuscripts bug-free.

Still slogging along through Lord Foul's Bane by Stephen R. Donaldson. I know the next book gets better, I just need to get through the first one to learn the lay of the land.

Listening to Smokin' Seventeen by Janet Evanovich. I foresee a number of Stephanie Plum novels in my listening future as they are the only interesting books my local Overdrive offers that don’t have a long wait. Not complaining; they are delightfully funny.

What’s books are delighting you this week?
