What Fiction are you reading this week, April 27, 2025? [View all]


A 13th-century Gothic church in the Netherlands; originally served the Dominican Order. In 2006 it was meticulously restored and repurposed into a modern bookstore.

Reading Thunderhead by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child. I am loving this story. Archaeologist Nora Kelly leads an expedition into a harsh, remote corner of Utah's canyon country, hoping to unravel one of archaeology's greatest mysteries. There's some "thing" out there, though, that doesn't want it to happen so a lot of really creepy stuff is happening to stop her. I cannot put this book down, wanting to know what's going to happen next. I also love that this is all taking place in areas I am quite familiar with.

Listening to The Left-Handed Twin by Thomas Perry. "Jane Whitefield helps people disappear. Fearing for their lives, fleeing dangerous situations, her clients come to her when they need to vanish completely." Only this time it's Jane who is being pursued and thus begins an action-packed, bloodthirsty chase. The 9th in a series but fine as a stand alone.
