What are you reading this week of March 27, 2016? [View all]

I went to the library only to discover the Hilerman book I had planned to read had just been checked out by someone else. So, I'll have to wait on that. I didn't bring a plan B on my list so I relied on my memory to find After Dark by Haruki Murakami. Right next to that on the shelf I saw Alice Munro's Runaway. Ever since she won the 2013 Nobel Prize in Literature for her work as master of the contemporary short story, I've wanted to read her. She's the first Canadian—as well as the 13th woman—to be named the Nobel literature laureate. So I figured she would be worth reading. She is.

Watched Hillerman's Skinwalkers. Loved it.

Listening to Preston/Child's Impact and not really getting into it. I think I'll just skip ahead to the last CD to see how it ends. Not giving up on the authors, though. I will read/listen to other works.

Just as an aside, my library now has the DVDs of Sherlock with B Cumberbatch. I am totally loving that. Any bunny reading something good this week?
