What Fiction are you reading this week, February 23, 2020? [View all]


Abbey Library of Saint Gall, Switzerland. Considered one of the most important monastic libraries in the world,

Reading The Truth by Terry Pratchett. A tale chock full of humorous gems, in spite of being written some 20 years ago. Some things never change. Like, facts don't always tell the whole story.

Just listened to Beau Death by Peter Lovesey. It was a fun narrative involving clothing/costuming and a mysterious skeleton. Now I’m on to The Daughter of Time by Josephine Tey. In 1990, this was named the greatest mystery novel of all time by the British Crime Writers' Association. So I am really looking forward to it.

What books are you looking forward to this week?
