What Fiction are you reading this week, March 31, 2024? [View all]

Happy Easter!


Still reading The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store by James McBride. It gets pretty dark in the final quarter.

Speaking of dark, it's been raining here all morning. Any egg hunts definitely cancelled. Hope you have some sun if you're planning any outdoor activities today.

Listening to The Witch Elm by Tana French. "A spellbinding standalone from one of the best suspense writers working today, The Witch Elm asks what we become, and what we're capable of, when we no longer know who we are." It's quite good.

What's in your book basket this week?
