What are you reading this week of June 4, 2017? [View all]

I am reading the ultimate Rebus short-story collection, THE BEAT GOES ON. With 29 short stories, a novella and "Ian Rankin on Rebus," each piece is a wee look into both the writing style of Rankin as well as the life and times of Inspector Rebus. I am finding it absolutely delightful.

Decided I would also read DARK MATTER by Blake Crouch. This is a real page-turner. Crouch also wrote the trilogy on which the TV show "Wayward Pines" is based. I just bought season 1 and look forward to watching it as soon as I finish this book. I believe I am in for some real treats with this.

Then I picked up a DVD of THE FAMILY FANG, the movie based on Kevin Wilson's best-selling novel, which someone here told us about a short while ago. I am really glad of that as I found it quite enjoyable.

What treats do you have planned for yourself this week?
