What Fiction are you reading this week, July 21, 2019 [View all]



Your library is a cool place to go when the heat gets unbearable.


I’m reading The Moor by Laurie R. King, which is very cool. Mary and Sherlock revisit the Hound of the Baskervilles tale. It’s quite funny in places but also eerie and intriguing. Ms. King’s writing makes you feel like you are actually reading an author from the early 1900’s.

Still listening to 2019’s Pulitzer Prize winner for Fiction, The Overstory by Richard Powers. It’s a long one, but still quite good. And evidently it’s coming true now.
