What Fiction are you reading this week, October 20, 2019? [View all]


"If I waited for perfection, I would never write a word." — Margaret Atwood


I’m back now to Ian Rankin’s Resurrection Men as I just finished The Testaments. I am glad that I read it since it did resolve some disturbing thoughts left hanging from The Handmaid’s Tale. That said, it’s sure not going on my list of best books. There were a couple of times when I said, “Wait! What? That makes no sense.” Plus, I found the ending weak, unlike Atwood’s typical stunners. So, that’s my 2 cents worth.

I am thrilled and delighted to say, though, that I found Mycroft Holmes, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s graphic novel, at my library. A fun read and absolute visual treat.

Still listening to Guilt. It's holding my interest right up to the end.

What sorts of interesting things are on your list this week?
