What are you reading this week of July 24, 2016? [View all]

Finished LaRose. Brilliant and beautiful. Sometimes funny, sometimes frightening. I really loved it. Just started Countdown City, book 2 of The Last Policeman trilogy by Ben H. Winters. It's gonna be a good one, I can already tell.

I am only halfway through listening to The Talisman. That's one mighty tall tale. Actually it has a lot in common with LaRose. Both stories of a young boy and what he must do for his mother. Lots of myth intertwined with reality. Colorful characters. I've been quite entertained.

What is entertaining you this week? Too hot to leave the house so you just stay in and read?
I'm looking at temps around 100 all next week. At least it's a dry heat here. Of course it will still cook a turkey, as they say.
