What Fiction are you reading this week, February 23, 2025? [View all]

Still reading Resident Alien, The Graphic Novel, a unique science-fiction/murder-mystery mashup, written by Peter Hogan. The story is great and the art by Steve Parkhouse is wonderful.

Listening to the "absurdly funny and devastatingly tender" The Wedding People by Alison Espach. A story about one unexpected wedding guest and the surprising people who help her start anew. It's given me lots of laughs.

What books are you enjoying these days?
