What Fiction are you reading this week, December 12, 2021? [View all]


Medical Library at McGill, Montreal

I have just about finished The Madness of Crowds and have learned that Dr. Ewen Cameron was a real person who actually did all those horrible things. It's quite a book that Ms. Penny has penned.

Listening to Truth or Dare by Fern Michaels. This one is from her Men of the Sisterhood series. They have found some children abandoned in the woods and are on the hunt for child traffickers. Or worse. Good story so far.

In other news, I have been watching the British TV series, Agatha Raisin, on DVDs from the library. I've read a lot of M C Beaton's books and this show is an absolute delight. Funny, and filmed in a gorgeous little village. It's great escapism which I am happy to have these days.

What books are making you happy this week?
