What Fiction are you reading this week, May 5, 2019? [View all]



I’m reading A Monstrous Regiment of Women by Laurie R. King. Each chapter starts with a rather incendiary quote about women, taken from the Bible or other “scholarly” tomes. They really set the tone for what goes on in the story and I am absolutely loving it. Laurie is so fun to read.

Listening to The Light Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman. “A story about extraordinarily compelling characters seeking to find their North Star in a world where there is no right answer, where justice for one person is another's tragic loss…exquisite and unforgettable, a deeply moving novel.” I’ve only just started but am already hooked. The idea of being a lighthouse keeper on an isolated island has always appealed to me.

What’s appealing to you this week?
