What Fiction are you reading this week, December 22, 2019?



Just finished all those really great books I was reading last week. Tomorrow I’ll go to the library and pick up several more to carry me into the new year. I made a list and checked it twice.

I just started listening to Faster Pastor by Sharyn McCrumb. In my younger days I was really into racing so I totally get all the puns and references in this one. Fun.

Wishing you all a lovely week filled with good things to read and eat and whatever else bring you happiness. Check out my cat-proof tree over in the Pets Group.

Only been out a short time, though, and in England. Hopefully it will soon find its way across the pond because it does sound good.

I'll check and see where it's available. It's definitely worth finding.

Lost Light was a great read. I think this might've been the 1st or 2nd Bosch novel I read- long time ago. Some parts was like Deja vu all over again (thank you Yogi Berra!). Harvest of the Stars is a hard SciFi. It has a 2 1/4 page Dramatis Personae and begins oddly enough with an epilogue.

I am just in chapter 1 and having to learn what certain terms mean. This is a good exercise in keeping the old gray matter firing correctly. I think I am going to enjoy this tome. Well it's only 531 pages.

BTW, I am yearning for season 6 of Bosch. I have been watching an old Australian police procedural called "Murder Call," 1997 to 1999. I don't binge watch it but meter it out.

to pick up tomorrow. They're still making Bosch series? Cool. Haven't watched for a while so something to look forward to.

Harvest of the Stars does sound interesting, too.

I see the release date is April 2020. WOW it seems strange typing 2020 and not about eyesight.

I know, right. I was thinking about that the other day, how weird it will be to write that. There's a TV show called 2020, I believe. I wonder what they will do next year.
