What Fiction are you reading this week, Feb 21, 2021? [View all]




The day after I finished The Glass Hotel I started reading Gallows Court by Martin Edwards and it gave me the strangest feeling, like these stories were somehow connected. They both concern shady financial dealings, there's a character named Vincent, and a mysterious woman. But, the Edwards book takes place in 1930, almost 90 years before the other, among other differences, so I got over it. There's some really creepy goings on in Gallows Court. Lee Child calls it "superb.".

If anyone wants to discuss The Glass Hotel, we could do that. I know it left many people confused.

Listening to Claws For Concern by Miranda James, a cozy treat.

Sending my love to our members down South. I so hope you managed okay and won't be dealing with property damage or horrible bills. Or worse. I just can't believe such a thing could occur in the 21st century in this "greatest" country.

Wishing everyone some good reads to help cope with the crap.
