What Fiction are you reading this week, Feb 14, 2021? [View all]

Many thanks for all the sweet hearts! Love you guys and gals.

I just started The Glass Hotel by Emily St. John Mandel. So far I'm not terribly fond of the characters but I am charmed by the venue, that glass hotel. Also intrigued by the meaning of that odd message, or the reason for it. We shall see...

Listening to Claws for Concern by Miranda James. Again, I just started it but I expect this will hold my interest being as it involves libraries and cats, two of my favorite things.

What are your favorite books this week, valentines? Hope you have a happy day (in spite of..you know ).
