What Fiction are you reading this week, November 12, 2023? [View all]

Reading Nathan's Run by John Gilstrap Fleeing down the dark highways of America, 12-year-old Nathan has no place to go, and the whole world is looking for him. Intense and brutal in places, but there's a big question no one is asking and it's kind of bugging me. I do hope there is a reason for ignoring this fact and it shows up soon. First published in 1996, one reviewer said this book has been banned in many places due to the extreme violence. It was re-released in 2019 with a different ending. Both endings can be seen on Gilstrap's website but I'm not going to look at them until I've finished the book. Gilstrap doesn't say anything about it being banned.

Listening to A Million Junes by Emily Henry, a Young Adult/Fantasy/Romance. Not my usual cup of tea but it's become impossible to find any good mystery audio books available at my library. They all have very long waiting lists. So, I took what I could find.

What books have you found this week?
