What Fiction are you reading this week, February 26, 2023? [View all]



Reading The IT Girl by Ruth Ware, pub 2022. This is a murder mystery and has nothing to do with computer repair. It is all about being a student at Oxford, though, and I find that quite interesting. I've read all the previous Ware books, two of which I refused to finish due to boredom. This one has some unlikable characters but it is a love song to libraries and book stores so I am really enjoying that.
Each chapter is a "Before" or "After" the murder. Back and forth, back and forth. I recently read another book that did that and remember wishing I could somehow read all the Befores and then the Afters.

My library just got Phaedra Patrick's The Messy Lives of Book People for me. An audible, it's supposed to be quite funny so I am really looking forward to listening to it.

What books will you be marching to get this week? (Hey, it's not easy coming up with something pertinent every week. )

My calendar says Wednesday is Zero Discrimination Day. Sounds like a plan to me.
