What Fiction are you reading this week, April 19, 2026? [View all]

Still reading The Manning Brides by Debbie Macomber. I'm on the second story, Stand-In Wife now. The first one didn't do much for me.

I listened to The Correspondent by Virginia Evans, a "novel about the power of finding solace in literature and connection with people we might never meet in person." I so enjoyed hearing this story. Told through "charming, deeply moving letters, the bittersweet journey of growing older and the courage it takes to embrace the winds of change."

Then I listened to Apostle's Cove by William Kent Krueger. That was so good. A suspenseful thriller, occult, supernatural, Native American mystery. Kept me listening for hours.

Now I'm listening to Bright Young Women by Jessica Knoll, a “breakneck thriller that examines our culture’s obsession with serial killers and true crime.” It follows two women on the pursuit of justice against all odds. It won a lot of awards in 2023.

Have a happy Earth Day. Get out there and enjoy what's left of it while you can.
