What Fiction are you reading this week, July 8, 2018? [View all]

Time for some summer reading?


I've just started The Missing and the Dead by Stuart MacBride. This is my first although it's the 9th in a series. It's easy enough to get into, though, and it is so fun to read. The constant witty banter among the Scottish police as they go about their daily patrols keeps me grabbing the book and reading a few pages at every opportunity. Which is good since at just under 600 pages this one will take a while to get through. I will, for sure, be seeking out more MacBride books.

Also still listening to The Golem of Paris by Jonathan and Jesse Kellerman, another long one. This is really good. Suspenseful, intense, and still has its bits of humor.

What's on you summer reading list? Hope you are all dealing with the heat okay. It's not so bad where I am but I know some places are quite brutal right now.
