I almost forgot the weekly thread again, so just putting it up, will post my updates later.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

Its for a book review podcast I am listening to, "words about books"

Its a story of retired gay Hollywood celebrity, Pat, taking care of his former friends kids after she lost her battle with cancer.

The father fell into addiction and wants Pat to take care of the kids for 90 days while he goes to a near by addiction treatment center.

I am only 90 pages in, but so far, I am not impressed by the story's humor and for the most part, I am tired out by celebrity stories/culture.
