FF: While Awaiting
Tepary Beans Read
Every audiobook I tried to request from the library was out, so I went back to some old favorites. Each book has had a different reader, which has been a little unsettling.
For those of you just discovering this part of my blog, the Friday Fragments lists what I’ve read over the past week. Most of the time I don’t include details of either short fiction (unless part of a book-length collection) or magazines.
The Fragments are not meant to be a recommendation list. If you’re interested in a not-at-all-inclusive recommendation list, you can look on my website under Neat Stuff.
Once again, this is not a book review column. It’s just a list with, maybe, a bit of description or a few opinions tossed in.
Do you have different “summer reads” than the rest of the year?
