What Fiction are you reading this week, August 26, 2018?
We are like books. Most people only see our cover, some read only the introduction, and many people believe the critics. Few will know our content. -- FOT
I've just started The Beekeeper's Apprentice by Laurie R. King and it is delightful. In 1915, Sherlock Holmes is studying honeybee behavior when he meets an intellect to match his own: a very modern fifteen-year-old whose mental acuity is equaled only by her audacity, tenacity, and penchant for trousers and cloth caps, unthinkable in any young lady of Holmes's own generation.
I am also listening to There, There by Tommy Orange. This is a brutally hard story to read (hear) but so important. "Fierce, angry, funny, groundbreaking. A wondrous and shattering portrait of an America few of us have ever seen. THERE THERE is a multi-generational, relentlessly paced story about violence and recovery, hope and loss, identity and power, dislocation and communion, and the beauty and despair woven into the history of a nation and its people."
So, what's everyone else into this week?

Something has traveled for a billion years to find us - and now it has. An unknown object emerges from the void; the name given to deep, dark space, and crashes on an Alaskan mountaintop, nearly 10,000 feet up. Satellite images show something moving about where no one should be alive. And that something seems to be growing at an alarming rate. 
'Lamb' was my intro to Moore.
About Jesus' missing years.
Laffed so hard I hurt. (in a good way)
B&N made a fortune off me 
for a few months. Sounds like a real page-turner. " a deeply complex story about the lies we tell, the lies we believe, and the redemption we need, this novel will be remembered as one of George's best." 
There are 4 books with that same title, all with vastly different story lines.
