What Fiction are you reading this week, August 11, 2024? [View all]

Reading The Once and Future Witches by Alix E. Harrow In the late 1800s, three sisters use witchcraft to change the course of history in Alix E. Harrow's powerful novel of magic and the suffragette movement. Ms. Harrow has written several books and won many awards; this story is amazing.

Listening to Split Image by Robert B. Parker, the 9th Chief Jesse Stone Police Procedural. What initially appears to be a low-level mob hit takes on new meaning when a high-ranking crime figure is found dead.

What amazing books are you reading this week?
