What Fiction are you reading this week, September 5, 2021? [View all]

September is Be Kind To Editors and Writers Month. Celebrate responsibly.

It's also Library Card Sign-up Month.


I just started The Feast by Margaret Kennedy. This was written in 1950 and has recently been released as an ebook. I got an old hardcover copy, though. The reviews for this tale are amazing and I am really looking forward to the mystery and adventure. Many say it is the best book they ever read. After just the first few pages, I was hooked.

I also just checked out the audiobook All Systems Red by Martha Wells. Sounds like something I will enjoy listening to. "On a distant planet, a team of scientists are conducting surface tests, shadowed by their Company-supplied droid ― a self-aware SecUnit that has hacked its own governor module, and refers to itself (though never out loud) as 'Murderbot.' Scornful of humans, all it really wants is to be left alone long enough to figure out who it is. But when a neighboring mission goes dark, it's up to the scientists and their Murderbot to get to the truth."

What books are you looking forward to this week?
