What Fiction are you reading this week, January 25, 2026? [View all]

Just finishing The Feast by Margaret Kennedy. This little masterpiece is so funny, and sad. Amazing to think it was written over 75 years ago.

Listening to An Easy Death, a dark fantasy by Charlaine Harris. "A taut new thriller (2018); the first in the Gunnie Rose series. Set in a fractured United States, in the southwestern country now known as Texoma." Quite entertaining. I always thought the HRE was Holy Roman Empire. Silly me.

I hope you all are safe with ample heat, food, and books. Fortunately for me, I am west of the storm.
