What Fiction are you reading this week, January 6, 2019? [View all]


The Last Bookstore 453 S Spring St, Los Angeles, CA
Anybody ever been there? Looks like fun.


Just about finished with Lighthouse Island, a tale in which there are no more bookstores. To lighten things up, tomorrow I will start Noir by Christopher Moore. I bought this for my roommate and he was laughing so much I just had to read it next.

Listening to First Degree by David Rosenfelt, the second Andy Carpenter, attorney and dog lover, mystery. I'm enjoying this writer; snappy dialogue, deftly managed legal conflicts, startling surprises, and occasional laugh out loud descriptions.

Anything fun on your reading list this week? Or serious. We're easy .
