What Fiction are you reading this week, June 9, 2019? [View all]

I injured my knee so am spending time resting and reading, keeping my leg elevated.


Attn: Anthony Horowitz fans: The Word is Murder. I lucked out last week and got the audio of this new book from the library on the day it came in. I am totally loving the story which is the first in a proposed new series. “Buried secrets, murder and a trail of bloody clues lie at the heart of Horowitz's new detective series. If you enjoyed BBC's Sherlock, you'll LOVE The Word is Murder! A masterful and tricky mystery that springs many surprises.” http://www.thewordismurder.com/

Just finished The Fix by David Baldacci, an international crime and mystery thriller. I enjoyed it.

I just got The Fifth Season, Book 1 of The Broken Earth Series, by N. K. Jemisin. THIS IS THE WAY THE WORLD ENDS... FOR THE LAST TIME. (Looks like it may take a while, though. Book 1 is 500 pages)

What books are you loving this week?
