What Fiction are you reading this week, November 14, 2021? [View all]




Been crazy busy this past week. Not much time for reading. So, I'm still reading Ash Wednesday by Ralph McInerny, a Father Dowling mystery. I can definitely imagine how this would be a fun TV series. What a bunch of characters!

And still listening to First Grave on the Right. Darynda Jones sure does come up with some funny ideas for tee shirt and bumper sticker slogans, which begin every chapter. These books are quite popular. I just checked out the 6th grave book but I have to wait for the second and fifth because so many others have requested them. We're talking months' long waits. I'm getting these through my library and Overdrive for free so I can't really complain. BUT, only one person at a time can listen? Oh well, like I said before, these don't really need to be listened to in order to appreciate them.

What books are you appreciating this week?
