What are you reading this week? And what did you think of last week’s books? (09-11-2025)

Just started Wild Fire by Ann Cleeves, a part of her Shetland series.
Also finished up listening to Isola by Allegra Goodman, based on a recommendation from someone on BB. Like all historical novels some parts seemed less likely than others, and the last half of the book had a greater hold on me.
Also reading Lolita. I’ve never read it before, but decided to plunge in for the book discussion. The introduction suggests we shouldn’t just typify it as “problematic” to avoid grappling with our reactions to it. I’m having some strong reactions to it, so I expect there will be some grappling to come.
