What Fiction are you reading this week, Oct. 18, 2020? [View all]



Reading The Bones of Paris by Laurie R. King. Ahhh, Paris in the 1920s. You never know who you might run into there: Hemingway, Picasso, Man Ray. Private investigator Harris Stuyvesant encounters them and others while trying to find a missing girl. I only just learned that there is a prequel to this story which I most likely should have read. It's still good enough, though.

Still listening to Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell. Lots of magic going on.

Anything magical on your reading list this week?
