What Fiction are you reading this week, July 5, 2020? [View all]



Listening to Dark Sacred Night by Michael Connelly. I got on the waiting list for this a while back and it was now finally my turn so I put off Agatha Raisin for now. Harry Bosch teams up with Detective Renée Ballard and each is read by a different person. The guy reading Harry is Titus Welliver, who plays Bosch on the TV show. So this is really enjoyable to listen to.

Speaking of listening, in all my years I have never heard so many fireworks as I did last night. My little town put on their biggest show ever, most of which I could see from my back yard and that was enjoyable. But then several neighbors around me also put on their own huge shows. Not sure why exactly. Since we could easily see the professional show. For free.

I went in at 10:30 but the neighbors’ constant booming continued until midnight. It was really annoying. This did, though, give me ample time to start reading Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami. It has been a bit since I read a good fantasy and I thought this one sounded promising.

What sounds promising on your reading list this week?
