What Fiction are you reading this week, September 2, 2018?

The library at Oxford

This fabulous library plays a part in The Beekeeper's Apprentice, which I just finished. This is one of the best books I have ever read. Author Laurie R. King writes with such intelligence, wit, and compassion and her mysteries keep you guessing. Small but surprising bits of information constantly pop up. The beauty of her descriptions of a certain country had me in tears. I am hooked and look forward to reading all the Mary Russell novels.

I did manage to get through the book rather quickly due to being flat on my back most of last week due to a major tooth abscess. Thought I was gonna die. Saw the dentist Friday morn and got it all cleared out and now I'm on major antibiotics. Still feeling a bit woozy but overall improving greatly every day.

It was kinda nice to have a forced vacation, though. Just lay around all day and sleep a lot. Then, while at the dentist, I started Lamb by Christopher Moore and it is a hoot.

Due to my illness I had to stop listening to There, There and it expired on me. I was almost at the end and I understand that what happens at the end is quite powerful. Hopefully I can get it back quickly to finish it up.

Hope this finds all of you, my bookish friends, in good health. Tell me about what you are reading this week.
