What Fiction are you reading this week, December 3, 2023? [View all]

Happy December

The Christmas book tree at St. Pancras Station in London. The booths have built-in speakers so you can listen to a story while you wait.

Still reading What the Dead Know. Slow going.

The audio version of The Secret History by Donna Tartt just came in for me so I'll be listening to that for a while. 22 hours. Supposed to be really good. Dark secrets at Hampden College.

What books are you starting December off with?
