What Fiction are you reading this week, May 12, 2024? [View all]

Happy Mothers' Day, to those who participate.

A family owned bookshop in the heart of St Andrews, with over 50,000 titles, rolling ladders and complimentary tea and coffee.

I'm reading the amazing I Cheerfully Refuse by Lief Enger. Set in a not-too-distant future America, the tale of a bereaved and pursued musician embarking under sail on Lake Superior in search of his departed, deeply loved, bookselling wife. "A rollicking narrative in the most evocative of settings, this latest novel is a symphony against despair and a rallying cry for the future," dystopian as it appears to be.

Listening to The Lager Queen of Minnesota by J. Ryan Stradal. Just started this novel of family, Midwestern values, hard work, fate and the secrets of making a world-class beer. "Drink lots, it's Blotz!" Fun story.

Read any good family books lately?
