What Fiction are you reading this week, May 26, 2024? [View all]



Reading Castle Shade by Laurie R. King. I was looking for something to lift the weight left on me by Extinction, the end of which was really disturbing. Couldn't stop thinking about it. This is helping. Holmes and Russell are at Castle Bran in Romania to investigate some odd incidents. Are they political or personal? Or just coincidental? The castle is fascinating and there's lots of photos on the internet. They even have their own website, bran-castle.com No vampires...so far.

Listening to Virgil Wander by Lief Enger. Virgil is "cruising along at medium altitude" when his car flies off the road into icy Lake Superior. He survives but his language and memory are altered and he emerges into a world no longer familiar to him. I'm finding it quite amusing,,,so far.

What books are not so far off on your reading list this week?
Hope you have an enjoyable holiday.
