What Fiction are you reading this week, March 8, 2026? [View all]

Happy International Women's Day. Where women are healthy, educated, safe and free, everyone benefits.


I'm still reading The Wreckage by Michael Crummey. It's hard to read more than a few pages every day as it's about war and POW camps. Too real.

I listened to The Last Odyssey by James Rollins. "To save the world and our future, Sigma Force must embark on a dangerous odyssey into an ancient past whose horrors are all too present in this page-turning thriller combining cutting-edge science, historical mystery, mythology, and pulse-pounding action." Fascinating tale. Lots of magic and monsters.
Then...in chapter 25 they start talking about how a war the bad guys are trying to start is supposed to bring about Armageddon. And it was word for word the same discussion I read here on Tuesday. Rollins wrote it before 2020. Creepy/crazy.

Now I'm listening to Holy Ghost by John Sandford. Virgil Flowers investigates a murder--and a miracle--in this wickedly entertaining thriller from the master of "pure reading pleasure." Great escapism.
