What Fiction are you reading this week, January 12, 2020? [View all]

I wanted to find a library display of a tropical paradise and sunny beaches. Instead, I got reality…

Using literature to help escape from reality, I just started reading Lost Light by Michael Connelly. This 9th Bosch novel should keep me entertained and occupied for a good bit.

Listening to Leif Enger’s Virgil Wander, a gorgeous, quirky, and utterly charming book. Beautifully narrated by MacLeod Andrews, an award-winning actor and book narrator with over 300 titles to his credit. It’s really a joy to listen to!

What are your escape books this week?
