What Fiction are you reading this week, June 23, 2019? [View all]

Yes indeed.

Still reading Probable Claws by Rita Mae Brown. It’s a mystery about the cold-blooded murder of a dear friend which also jumps back in time to Virginia's post-Revolutionary past, when their 18th-century predecessors struggled with the challenges of our fledgling country. Evidently there's a connection but I haven't discovered it yet.

Listening to The Obelisk Gate by N. K. Jemisin wherein the season of endings grows darker, and civilization fades into the long cold night. Kind of a preview of we can expect a few years from now…
