What Fiction are you reading this week, May 2, 2021? [View all]



Harewood House, England


Reading Troubled Blood by "Robert Galbraith" who is actually J. K. Rowling. I wonder if she called herself that for J. K. Galbraith. hmmm. Anyway, it's been a long time since I last read a 1,000-page book and I am terrified of dropping it on my foot. It's really captivating, though. Just sails right along.

Listening to The Blessing Way, the very first Joe Leaphorn Mystery by Tony Hillerman from 1970. Also fascinating. I figured I had already seen this story on the TV series, but it would have lacked the marvelous prose Mr. H was so famous for. So I am really enjoying it.

What books are delighting you this week?
