What Fiction are you reading this week, June 7, 2020? [View all]



I just finished Cemetery Dance by Preston/Child. It was interesting to be reading about a huge protest march in NY. Of course they were marching against a different evil, but still…

I was gifted with a copy of Shakespeare For Squirrels, Christopher Moore’s latest, so I think I’ll read that next in hopes it will provide some much needed levity in my life. I was going to attend a Zoom comedy show Friday but it was canceled because the comedians just didn’t feel they could be funny right now.

Listening to Ruth Rendell’s The Veiled One, a thriller/mystery. Who would garrote a middle-aged housewife and leave her body in the parking garage of a suburban shopping mall?

Speaking of Zoom, I have an important event to attend this afternoon so I won’t be around much. I will read everything you say, though, and respond when I can. Take care out there.
