What Fiction are you reading this week, May 19, 2024? [View all]



Reading Extinction by Douglas Preston. Read 1/3 of the book in one sitting Friday night. Could not put it down. Starts off with an interesting mystery and then it just keeps getting weirder and weirder. Spooky weird. Then, last night I was tending a sick cat so didn't peruse as much but what I did read actually had me exclaiming out loud, OMG! Way to write, Preston!

Just started listening to The Woman in the Window by A.J. Finn. A Hitchcockian thriller about an agoraphobic woman who believes she witnessed a crime in a neighboring house. Lots of plot twists. This was made into a movie in 2021. Anybody see it?

What books are holding your attention this week?
