What Fiction are you reading this week, Mar 21, 2021? [View all]

I'm still reading Hilary Mantel's Bring Up the Bodies. This is such a great book. You are there; the sights, the sounds, the smells, and all the secrets behind the scenes.

Listening to The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern. This is a poetic, romantic fantasy; a fantastic voyage that defies description. So I'll just quote, “books are always better when read rather than explained.”

I got my first Pfizer vax on Friday. Thank you, Mr. President. It was a great way to welcome spring. Wishing the same for all of you.

What books are springing up on your reading table this week?
