What Fiction are you reading this week, October 21, 2018? [View all]


Ever feel like you have just a few too many books you want to read?

I'm almost done reading Ready Player One. Then I am going to watch the DVD as the library now has it.

I just started listening to Turtles All the Way Down by John Green, author of The Fault in Our Stars. It's a mystery about fugitive billionaire Russell Pickett, and there’s a hundred-thousand-dollar reward at stake. (Hmm, that sounds familiar ) Reviews call it a brilliant YA novel of love, resilience, and the power of lifelong friendship.

Richard Russo's Nobody's Fool, which I just finished, is such a great story. Can't wait to find the sequel, Anybody's Fool, now.

What will you be finding this week?
