If you love antique, older or classic books Project Gutenberg has over 57,000 free eBooks. I usually read short stories, but am now reading a book by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley. She was only 19 when she wrote Frankenstein.

My DH takes his mom to concerts through the year for music she likes. Luckily my DH really likes Tom Jones also. Now I wish I'd gone with them this time
The tour was actually postponed from last fall-Tom Jones had to undergo hip surgery and rescheduled all the dates.

Sherry, I'll be interested to hear about Juliet, Naked--I think I browsed that one awhile back in the library but decided against it. I have really enjoyed several of Hornby's books.

Right now I’m reading “Missing, Presumed.” I love it. I just finished Elizabeth George’s latest, which was great but a smidge too long.

Tana French has a new one coming out later in the Fall. I preordered it on Amazon, also Stephen King’s October release.

I just started "One Month To Live" and I don't think it's for me.
In the 1st chapter the author asks you to list 5 things, without deep thought, that you'd do today if you knew you had 1 month to live. I immediately thought: order and eat a big pizza, finish the ice cream in the freezer, skip my workout... I didn't even go on to 4 or 5, cause I know those aren't the kinds of things you're supposed to want.

Currently listening to Ghosted by Rosie Walsh. I'm enjoying it. Glad for the long weekend to have extra time to read.

I am having trouble getting into this one, but that might be because I'm reading two other books also which are psychological suspense. I'll focus on it more when I'm done with those.
