What Fiction are you reading this week, December 9, 2018? [View all]

Can we celebrate yet?

Yes, that's cake. Sweet!



Also sweet is that Louise Penny brought Inspector Gamache out of retirement last year for Glass Houses, perhaps her best story yet. She "shatters the conventions of the crime novel to explore what Gandhi called the court of conscience. A court that supersedes all others." Totally mysterious and I read a bit every chance I get. Can't wait to see what happens next! A cool thing is that the "monster" is a real thing. I looked it up and they exist and all the facts about them are in this book.



Listening to Jo Nesbo's The Son, "an electrifying stand-alone novel set inside Oslo’s maze of especially venal, high-level corruption." Just started it. I always thought Norway was supposed to be such a nice place. Guess there's corruption in all governments. Hopefully we'll be seeing the end of the worst of ours real soon.

What sweet books are you reading?
