What Fiction are you reading this week, December 29, 2019? [View all]

Buh bye 2019!

To my fellow readers and Democrats, may 2020 allow us to see good health, good fortune and government that cares about our future. Cheers!

I’m reading Craig Johnson’s Wait For Signs, a small book of short stories about Sheriff Longmire. I had listened to this previously and found many of the stories were about Christmas so decided I would read the book this month. It’s quite good.

I also have Kingdom of the Blind by Louise Penny. I somehow missed this one when it came out a year ago and am quite pleased to have it now. I do love Inspector Gamache stories. In this one he and two other people learn they have just become executors of an estate for someone they had never met or even heard of.

What books will help you ring in the new year?
