What Fiction are you reading this week, February 18, 2024? [View all]

Just finished Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell. Quite a remarkable story. No wonder it won so many awards. Historical fiction at its best. I quite enjoyed the tale of the 3 little fleas who brought, from Egypt, so much death and misery. I didn't realize, for a long while, who the characters are in this story but the names and places are all real. Only one name is never mentioned; that would have given it all away much sooner.
Now reading The Final Cut by Catherine Coulter & J.T. Ellison, the first book in an international thriller series. Scotland Yard meets the FBI and it's nonstop action from the first pages. I'm really enjoying reading this one from 2013 and looking forward to reading many more.
I made it through the 38-hour long The Mirror & the Light, just under the wire. Next up is Lockdown by Laurie R. King, another piece of historical fiction. Not very popular with the GoodReaders but the only King audio available from the library right now. We shall see.
