What Fiction are you reading this week, August 16, 2020? [View all]

We're having a heatwave. Forecasts for 100 all week.

Still reading Simon the Fiddler. He's sweltering down on the Gulf Coast which is helping me appreciate the dry heat here.

Listening to some of Nancy Springer's stories about Enola Holmes, Sherlock's little sister. They are quite funny. First I heard The Case of the Cryptic Crinoline and now The Case of the Gypsy Goodbye.

What's hot on your reading list this week?
