What Fiction are you reading this week, July 23, 2023? [View all]
Is that a copy of The Prince and the Paw-purr?
Still working my way through Quantum Radio by A. G. Riddle. It's long but sadly is going downhill from an interesting premise at the start, to the plot devolving into a sequence of unbelievable coincidences. As one critic put it, "straying too far from its sci-fi roots and relying too much on awkward dialogue-driven exposition and an overly contrived plot." Oh well, they can't all be winners.
Listening to A Slow Fire Burning by Paula Hawkins, author of The Girl on the Train. This is a rather complicated murder mystery with many characters to keep track of. It gets quite grim. Perhaps better read than listened to.
Hope you all have something more satisfying on your reading lists this week.
Another scorcher out there today. That heat dome thingy is alarming. Stay cool.
