What Fiction are you reading this week, March 31, 2019? [View all]

“We live & breathe words. It was books that made me feel that perhaps I wasn't completely alone.” ~Cassandra Clare

Been so busy doing stuff outside every day (yay spring!) that I immediately fall asleep at night without any reading time. So, I’m not quite to the end of Lord Foul's Bane yet. But I just got several new (old) Rebus’ novels (Ian Rankin) and look forward to feeling right at home in Scotland soon.

I am currently listening to The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead. I’d been on the waiting list for several months for this one. It is so powerful. Damn.

Whose words are your companions this week?
