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


Kibbitznest Books, Brews & Blarney: Chicago
Reading Eruption by Michael Crichton; James Patterson. "The biggest thriller of the year: A history-making eruption is about to destroy the Big Island of Hawaii. But a secret held for decades by the US military is far more terrifying than any volcano."
Originally started by Crichton, his wife Sherri held back his notes and the partial manuscript until she found the right author to complete it: James Patterson. This is a terrific book. It feels so real and I'm amazed how lucky I was to get a hold of it already.
Listening to 12 Months to Live by James Patterson. The first of a Jane Effing Smith series; there's only two so far. Murder, courtroom drama, and a cancer diagnosis. Jane has a lot to deal with.
