What Fiction are you reading this week, August 25, 2019? [View all]


Just as a good rain clears the air, a good book can clear the psyche.

Still reading O Jerusalem and Naked. Later this week I will be working at the county fair Democrat’s booth and I anticipate having lots of time to read there. Considering the politics around here, I expect to be mostly ignored.

I just listened to The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer. Wow. &
I wish all Repub women had to listen to this story so maybe they would realize what their future will be like under nazi occupation. Evidently SOMEONE is listening to this. I had to wait 8 weeks for it to be available and yesterday, when I considered renewing it because there were two hours left, I learned I would have to wait another 9 weeks to get it again. It’s been in print for over 10 years so I wonder why it’s suddenly so popular. I mean, beyond the fact that it’s a really great story. Things that make you go, “Hmmm..”

What books have you got this week?
