What Fiction are you reading this week, December 14, 2025?

For 20 years, James Patterson has donated millions of dollars to schools, libraries, literacy programs and others in the book community, and that legacy continues this holiday season. He gave $500 bonuses to 600 indie booksellers.

Still reading To Shape a Dragon's Breath by Moniquill Blackgoose. This is a fantasy but is getting quite real.
15-yr-old Native girl is forced to attend a school in order to license the dragon who adopted her. Otherwise it will be considered feral and killed. "For a girl with no formal schooling, a non-Anglish upbringing, and a very different understanding of the history of her land, challenges abound -- both socially and academically."

I listened to His & Hers by Alice Feeney, a twisty, smart, psychological thriller. "A gripping tale of suspense, told by expertly-drawn narrators that will keep readers guessing until the very end." I highly recommend the audio version. Who IS that?

Now I'm listening to James Patterson's Bullseye. Even though it was written in 2016, a lot it seems to be ripped from today's headlines.
