What Fiction are you reading this week, September 24, 2023? [View all]




Hello, Fall

I'm reading The Starless Crown by James Rollins, an intense fantasy/action adventure. I'm finding it entertaining but after reading reviews I see many people didn't like it at all. It's the first in a 5-book series, MoonFall Saga. It takes place in a land that looks quite similar to the UK and on a planet called Urth. We meet a bunch of misfits and outcasts who will band together to save the planet. At just under 600 pages, I've got a long way to go.

Listening to Commonwealth by Ann Patchett. I wanted to get her Tom Lake but I was put on a waiting list and saw this was available now so thought I'd give it a listen. Good book. It's like a bunch of short stories about people who are all related.

What good reading have you got going on this week?
