What Fiction are you reading this week, July 19, 2020?
“I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.” ― Jorge Luis Borges
I got The book Woman of Troublesome Creek by Kim Michele Richardson. Good story, especially for those of us who really love reading. I knew this woman was going to face difficulties but I never imagined the major one. I never even knew such a thing existed, but I looked it up and it’s real and Troublesome Creek is an actual place, too.
The audio of The Dutch House by Ann Patchett became available so I am listening to that. Performed by Tom Hanks. “A story of a paradise lost that digs deeply into questions of love and forgiveness, of how we want to see ourselves. Filled with suspense.”
What will your books be this week?
= new reply since forum marked as read
I just finished The Daughters of Erietown by my favorite Ohioan Connie Schultz ...
Loved it, as I suspected I would!
Now I am about 50 pages into The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett.
by Tom Hanks. They are good, at least I have not skipped any and I like his voice. The fact that he performed the book by Ann Pachett you mentioned is good enough for me to test it out. I have not read her before but, as I said, I like his voice. It is somehow comforting these days. Comforting is why I am re-listening to Fanny Flagg. The last few weeks have been distressing for all of us but we had some family stuff, a death and that make me run to the tried and true comfort books. I also have Gillian Flynn that I had waited for from the library...might have to send that one back for a while.
for your loss.
Distressing is putting it mildly these days. Some books really can help. I can't vouch for The Dutch House yet as I only started on it yesterday. Evidently it's about a dysfunctional family and there's a good bit of death involved so maybe not the best choice for you right now. But it is highly rated and Hanks' voice is quite soothing.
Take care. 
I liked The book Woman of Troublesome Creek very much. Good story, good writing. I've started reading another book by an Appalachian writer named Ann Pancake, Strange as This Weather Has Been.
I also admit to buying Mary Trump's book about her deranged uncle but haven't started it yet. I'm sure every word is true.
It is hotter than the hinges of hell in Georgia right now, and the only way to stay cool is to stay inside and read. Hope everyone here is staying cool.
Hell hinge hot here, too. Flirting with 100 every day. 
Koko is something else,isn't he? 
Sure is!
Looking for the audio books which I usually don't like. I think my Mother read me to sleep when I was little, and I tend to fall fast asleep while listening! Thanks for the info on t his series...sounds great.
Thanks.
