What Fiction are you reading this week, April 12, 2026? [View all]

Morgan Library, New York


Reading The Manning Brides by Debbie Macomber, author of over 200 books. I found this on the bottom of my bookshelf and have no recollection of how or where I got it. It is a combo of two books, Marriage of Inconvenience and Stand-In Wife, both from 1992. Not my usual fare but glad I have something to hold me for a while until gas prices hopefully go back down. My library is a 50-mile round trip.

Listened to Murder By the Book by Lauren Elliott, the first Beyond the Page Bookstore Mystery. Good cozy. Books, libraries, librarians, murder. All the essentials.

Now listening to The Exchange by John Grisham, a stunning legal thriller from 2023. Intense, of course . It's Grisham after all. When I first started it on Tuesday, learning it's about the ME, I thought I might not be in the right frame of mind for it right now. But, since Grisham is so much smarter than anyone in our current administration, I'm quite enjoying it now.

The Correspondent audio by Virginia Evans just became available for me so looking forward to starting that this afternoon.
