What Fiction are you reading this week, December 16, 2018? [View all]

All done with your holiday shopping?

I'm reading Miracle and Other Christmas Stories by Connie Willis. Fun stuff. Miracle was first published in 1991 so I about choked when I read that one of the characters pulled out a calculator, shaped like Donald tRump!

Still listening to Jo Nesbo's The Son. Good story.

What books will you be shopping around for?
