What Fiction are you reading this week, November 28, 2021? [View all]


Books can give you recipes for living. Some are good; some not so much.

I'm reading a book that is difficult to describe: Crossing the Lines by Sulari Gentill. It is a murder mystery but it's also "about the process of creation, a gradual undermining of the authority of the author as the act of writing spirals away and merges with the story being told, a self-referring narrative crossing over boundaries leaving in question who to trust, and who and what is true." It can be somewhat confusing. Dean Koontz calls it a "psychologically complex read, cleverly conceived and brilliantly executed."

Listening to Dying in the Wool by Frances Brody. A Kate Shackleton mystery, this is just your traditional British cozy. A good story.

Got any leftover books you're reading this week?
