Fiction
In reply to the discussion: What Fiction are you reading this week, November 18, 2018? [View all]northoftheborder
(7,572 posts)39. Most recently: A Curious Beginning
by Deanna Raybourn. I liked it, good ending, part of a series of books about a female heroine's adventures in England. Also The Fifth Witness, by Michael Connelly, pretty good, a court-room murder mystery..
This is not fiction but I've started listening to Michelle Obama's "Becoming"!!! It is fantastic!!! So insightful, revealing of herself and Obama's backgrounds and lives. I highly recommend listening to her reading; it is excellent. So far, I've listened through her describing her childhood and family life, into her early career, and falling in love with Obama. A truly outstanding book.

What a nice idea! I read a lot of "chapter" books aloud to my kids as they were growing.

No fiction this week. On Thanksgiving week I always revisit Nathaniel Philbrick's "Mayflower."
