What are you reading this week of September 4, 2016? [View all]

Haven't been able to read much as I'm so tired every night after laboring away, putting up tons of veggies for the winter. The farmer's market is only a few blocks from my house to I'm there every Wednesday as soon as they open and they will only be there for a few more weeks.

So, I'm still reading The Nest by Cynthia Sweeney. I'm enjoying it. This is not the sort of fare I usually choose, a dysfunctional family's problems in modern-day NYC. But I was intrigued by the descriptions so I grabbed it. It would be a great airport read as long as you would not be embarrassed by snorting out loud at some of the outrageously funny lines.

Loved listening to John Grisham's The Last Juror and will start James Patterson's 3rd Degree later today. The library is supposed to have two other Grishams on CD but I couldn't find them. :grumble: Hope they can locate them.

What books will you be laboring through this week? (Albeit a labor of love)
