What Fiction are you reading this week, January 2, 2022? [View all]

Happy 2022!

Didn't get quite what you wanted this year? We understand! Bring it in and we'll help you find something with a better fit.

I'm reading The Dark Hours by Michael Connelly. Perfect timing. This story begins on New Year's Eve, and I just started reading it. It's so real. He's describing fireworks booming and I was actually hearing them at the same time. COVID is happening and people are dealing with it. I think this is going to be a good one. "Renée Ballard and Harry Bosch must join forces to find justice for a victim in a city scarred by fear and social unrest." Some reviewers, though, are quite annoyed by the constant referrals to masking. The plague rats are all, "Waaa, how dare he preach at me. I'll never read his books again." SMH

Speaking of good ones, I'm listening to Truth and Justice by Fern Michaels. Quite a tale; it really grabs you. Up next: Wish You Were Here by Rita Mae Brown.

What are you starting the year off with in Fiction?
