What Fiction are you reading this week, September 8, 2019?

[hermetic]

Just about to finish Naked by Sedaris and have Margaret Atwood’s The Heart Goes Last on my bedside table to read next.

Listening to Wait for Signs by Craig Johnson. I thought I had read all the Walt Longmire mysteries so was quite pleased when I saw this available through Overdrive. Turns out it’s short stories featuring episodes in Walt's life that don't appear in the novels, all taking place around Christmas. It’s really a fun listen. I was totally at the story where Walt is mistaken for “someone else.”
Plus, there’s a wonderful Introduction by Lou Diamond Phillips. I am going to have to buy this book to read every Christmas because I think it is just that enjoyable.

What’s enjoyable for you this week?

1. Holy Ghost by John Sanford

Typical Flowers. Interesting story. Not what I thought it would be. I thought it would be about a cult but it is an interesting investigation.

3. Sounds good

I like Sandford's books. 'Virgil Flowers investigates a murder--and a miracle--in this wickedly entertaining new thriller.'

2. President's Twitter feed?

Just joshin’!

Will be reading my grand girls some fine selections from Dolly’s Imagination Library.

[The King of Prussia]

6. No and Me by Delphine de Vigan

It's about a precocious 13 year old who meets a homeless girl in Paris. It's our book club "set text" for this month - so I have less than 24 hours to finish it.
It's written in the present tense - which seems to be a thing these days - which irritates me. So far neither the plot nor the characters hold any interest for me.

7. Ahh,

the joys of a book club. I prefer our structure here: none. Good for you, though. I believe there are real benefits to an actual book club, which might include a bit of wine. Thanks for taking the time to comment here.

[The King of Prussia]

8. Update

I got to page 116 and gave up in despair. And we get tea, not wine

9. The Thirteenth Tale Diane Setterfield

I finished her book Once Upon a River and it was the best read of the summer so I am trying another one.

So far I really like this one too. The story of a young woman raised in a book store who is summoned to write a biography of a dying author.Lots of stories within the story of family secrets revealed.

Gothic fiction...not my usual choice,but I'm hooked on these two books.
