What are you reading this week of September 18, 2016? [View all]

Good news: this week we get an extra hour! Might as well spend it reading.

Finished The Coroner's Lunch by Colin Cotterill. Terrific book. LOL funny, full of surprises, thought-provoking politics, gruesome deaths and graphic autopsies. And ghosts. It's been a while since the ending of a book made me say aloud, "Whhooaa! Bwahahahaha!" So I was delighted to be able to immediately start the next one in the series, Thirty Three Teeth. Bears, oh my!

Listening to Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides. Really interesting so far but it's 21 hrs long and I've only just begun. It's about transgenderism.

What books will you be falling back on this week?
