What are you reading this week of July 10, 2016? [View all]

I am halfway through Love Medicine by Louise Erdrich. Great book, beautifully written. I took Japple's note from last week to heart and drew up a family tree so I could keep track of who was related to whom. This is an epic tale tracing down several generations but it's not told chronologically. Not many writers could pull that off but Erdrich does.

My audible book right now is Capital Crimes by Jonathan and Faye Kellerman. It is comprised of two stories,
My Sister's Keeper: Berkeley and Music City Breakdown: Nashville. I'm almost through the first story, which is a highly-charged political murder mystery. I think this is my first encounter with the Kellermans and I look forward to reading more of their work.

What are you looking forward to this week?
