What Fiction are you reading this week, June 30, 2024? [View all]



Reading The Essex Serpent by Sarah Perry. An intriguing tale set in late nineteenth-century England, about an intellectually minded young widow, a pious vicar, and a rumored mythical serpent. I'm quite enjoying it. In 2017 it was named one of the top fifty notable works of fiction of the year by The Washington Post and one of 100 Notable Books of the year by The New York Times.

Listening to The Last Orphan by Gregg Hurwitz. This is an action adventure thriller; the 8th in a series which I hadn't read any of. But it was easy enough to figure out what was going on. Quite entertaining.

Wishing you and your pets a safe and happy 4th.
