What Fiction are you reading this week, April 2, 2023? [View all]



Happy happy!!

Reading Our House by Louise Candlish, a "disturbing and addictive novel of domestic suspense where secrets kept hidden from spouses cause shocking surprises." From 2018. This book is really intense. Imagine coming home after a couple of days away on a business trip and finding someone you don't know moving into your house and everything you owned is now gone. Heck of a premise.

There are several books titled Our House, as well as that famous song written by Graham Nash. In 2021 another book by that name, and written by Nash, came out. "..a beautifully illustrated children’s book and a magical visual journey for readers of all ages, especially the millions of people around the world who embraced the song as their own." I really would like to find this one.

Listening to French Braid by Anne Tyler. Just came out a year ago. A "funny, joyful, brilliantly perceptive journey deep into one Baltimore family's foibles." A nice alternative to that nightly tale of horror I'm reading.

Any books making you happy this week?
