What Fiction are you reading this week, Nov. 15, 2020? [View all]



Finally reading Wolf Hall by Hilary Martel. With a bit over 500 pages this should take me a while. And there are so many characters to keep track of. At the beginning of the book is a listing of them all and it is 8 pages long! And so many are named Thomas, and Mary. It's quite amusing. Easy to see why it is so highly acclaimed, and disdained by the Catholic Church.

Listening to The Cat Who Moved a Mountain, more crime-solving by the intrepid team of Koko and Yum Yum, with a little help from their human, Qwill. Fun stuff.

What will you be reading this week?
