What Fiction are you reading this week, January 26, 2020? [View all]


Books are a uniquely portable magic. - Stephen King

I got The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving by Jonathan Evison. A road trip story! I love road trip stories. This one looks like it’s going to be really great. “Bursting with energy, a bighearted, soulful, and inspired novel that ponders life's terrible surprises and the heart's uncanny capacity to mend.” Hat tip to japple for the rec.


Listening to Wintersmith, the 35th novel in the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett. This one was written for the YA readers but I’m enjoying it as it’s a metaphor for winter giving way to spring and that’s one thing to be happy about these days. Plus, it’s delightfully amusing. There’s a witch named Miss Tick.

Any readings making you happy this week? Or not?
