What Fiction are you reading this week, October 24, 2021? [View all]



Escape with a good book

I finished my library books so grabbed one from my collection: Hope Never Dies, the second Biden/Obama mystery. I think this one is much funnier than the first one. Just my opinion and I know others disagree. But, that's how it is with art. Waiting for me at the library now is The Girl Who Reads on the Metro by Christine Féret-Fleury. I've been wanting to read that one for a long time.

I also wanted something Halloween-appropriate so I'm listening to Third Grave Dead Ahead by Darynda Jones. This is third in a series of tales about a paranormal private eye who is also employed as a grim reaper. I haven't read the first two, as they weren't available, but it's easy enough to know what's going on from reading brief primers, readily found since this is an extremely popular series. I'm finding it quite amusing.

What are you finding to read this week?
