What are you reading this week? (11/14/2024)
Finally finished all 700+ pages of The Covenant of Water! Also finished Absolute Power by David Baldacci. Started Tyrannosaur Canyon by Douglas Preston. Trying to catch up on older reads to down size my library.

'Lively yet ridiculous, the narrative loses all plausibility as it becomes clear that the characters do what they do solely in order to keep the plot churning to its conclusion....The recent real-life discovery of a Tyrannosaurus rex fossil containing soft tissue makes this particularly timely.' - PW.
