The Tender Bar and also Shopoholic and Sister

The book that Sarah chose for book club is called "The Tender Bar" by JR Moehringer (sp?). It's a memoir about a boy growing up in Long Island w/o a dad. His surrogate dad is the guys at the bar. It's an easy read, but I'm afraid that I might not get it finished before book club next Sat night.

I've been listening to more books on CD lately. It really does pass away the 1/2 hour commute for me. I've recently listed to "The Body Farm" by Patricia Cornwell and "Hard Truth" by Nevada Barr. These are two books that I've read before, but I wanted to listen to again.

I'm listening to "Shopoholic and Sister" by Sophie Kinsella now. This is the 4th book int he Shopoholic series. It starts with "Confessions of a Shopoholic" then goes to "Shopoholic Takes Manhattan" and then "Shopoholic Ties The Knot". Becky Bloomwood is the main character and sometimes she grates on my nerves, but she always manages to redeem herself in the end. This book has made me belly laugh out loud and then cry too. I can't wait to see how it ends. These books are the light reads you need in between the heavy ones! :)
