What Fiction are you reading this week, May 1, 2022? [View all]



Reading A Swim in a Pond in the Rain by George Saunders, an extraordinary book about "what makes great stories work, how to write them yourself, and what they can tell us about our world today. Funny, frank, and rigorous." I am finding it a most compelling read. It is classified as fiction.

Listening to The Long Call by Ann Cleeves, published 2019, "the first in a gripping new series, told with deep compassion and searing insight." A 'long call' is the most complex vocalization of a seagull’s repertoire, could be considered a wake-up call.

What books will you be waking up to this week?
Happy May!
