What Fiction are you reading this week, June 14, 2020? [View all]



I’m reading Shakespeare for Squirrels by Christopher Moore, a comedic take on A Midsummer Night's Dream. It’s a tale of magic, madness, and murder. Also, lots of “frolicking.” Most enjoyable.

Listening to Depraved Heart by Patricia Cornwell. Really good story; quite suspenseful.

My library was told to reopen tomorrow by the governor and not everyone who works there is really happy about it. The public meeting rooms won’t be opened yet and patrons are being “encouraged” to wear masks and limit their time there. Good luck with that. Happily, I have until the following week before I have to return anything.

What will you be reading this week?

Hope we all survive these grand re-openings.
