What Fiction are you reading this week, March 5, 2023? [View all]

I'm a roadie...


Reading A Scandal in Scarlet by Vicki Delany, the shrewdly plotted fourth Sherlock Holmes Bookshop mystery. So many suspects and so few clues, Gemma's deductive prowess will be essential in solving this case.

I also borrowed Let Me Tell You, a collection of previously unpublished short stories and essays by Shirley Jackson. I've always loved her writing and this book doesn't disappoint. So far her stories are wonderfully eerie and the essays are described as witty and unforgettable.

Finally got started listening to Phaedra Patrick's The Messy Lives of Book People. Don't have a lot of listening time right now. Too busy shoveling snow, every day.

This month sure is roaring in like a lion. Hope you all are staying safe and warm where you are. So, whatcha reading?
