What Fiction are you reading this week, August 4, 2024? [View all]

This looks cool


I decided it was just too freaking hot, 103, to drive for a half an hour to the library. So, I got to digging around in my bookshelf and, by golly, found several books I forgot I had.
I'm now reading Invisible by James Patterson. Constant house fires, killing people inside. But that's the only similarity. No motives, no murder weapons, no suspects. Could one person really be responsible for these unthinkable crimes? "Patterson's scariest, most chilling stand-alone thriller yet." This is a real page-turner.

Listening to Just One Damned Thing After Another by Jodi Taylor. The first in The Chronicles of St. Mary's.
When Dr. Maxwell is recruited by the St Mary's Institute of Historical Research, she discovers the historians there don't just study the past - they revisit it. "A great mix of British properness and humour with a large dollop of historical fun."
I love this story. It is so funny, then turns super serious and wise. Looking forward to the whole series.

What books have you found to read this week?
