Still reading An Inconvenient Wife and need to get back to it. I've been de-cluttering and cleaning the house. I'm on a mission! So, less reading and more cleaning for me.

Then, I got distracted because I picked up Mary Higgins Clark's newest book: The Shadow of Your Smile.

I'm going to read both of them and they are both interesting to me. :grouphug:

After my final today I went to the library

I got "The Perfect Christmas" by Debbie Macomber. I wanted "U" by Sue Grafton but it was out. I'll have to check my little library and see if they have it. I also got 2 audio books--one by Kate White and another by Jonathan Kellerman. I would tell you which ones but they are in the car.

I just finished listening to "Therapy" by Jonathan Kellerman. It was really good. I was guessing who did it until the end.

I just finished "Potter's Field" by Patricia Cromwell. Currently reading...uh...one of the other Scarpettas that I haven't read. lol I probably won't read too much in the next few days...I want to paint as much as I can tomorrow while the light is decent and Sunday we won't be home. We'll see.
