Day 6: Labor day
I have never read this book but I've seen the movie lol

A story about a 13 year old boy, his mother, and an escaped convict who they befriend. I had tears in my eyes at the end.

A first for me. I listened to a book right to the end. I enjoyed this story and the experience of just listening.
I loved the ending. @MrsMalaprop

Just starting this tonight

In this case I liked the movie better 🤷🏼‍♀️ I love Kate Winslet ❤️

I hope everyone has a great, safe holiday if you‘re celebrating 🥳🎉🎊🎈

I'm a labor lawyer, so today is an important day. Hope most if not all of you got to relax. Happy Labor Day!

1. I‘m seeing all my old students this weekend. Dinner with one today, movies with one tomorrow, and watching another‘s football game Sunday. The best kind of weekend.
2. No thanks. Instead I‘ve reminded you of this book loosely related to the holiday weekend. Remember this one?!
3. Anything spicy. Pickles. Sauerkraut (I‘m the worst German)
4. Nope! I was a marching band kid.
5. Thanks!! I plan to.

#twointhree readathon for Labor Day weekend. I actually have zero plans! @Samplergal

A beautiful and heartbreaking story about how a stranger comes into the life of a mother and son and impacts their lives. A great book from @pageonebooks. See my review at https://youtu.be/1ooLZ_DuSWI

This book was a labor to get through, and not a labor of love mind you... No part of this book was believable to me and I‘m surprised I completed it.

No mind to Mr Snuffs in the background 😊

To those that enjoyed it, I‘d like to discuss with you!

Also... Was the movie any better?!

This is a lovely story. I watched this movie a few years ago(probably because of Kate Winslet). I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. I decided to try the book and it was even better than the movie.

Great book

From my read list. Some were better than others.

Out of these 3 I have read the tagged book... it was just ok for me...

My perfect Labor Day: relaxing reading, delicious BBQ, and time with my boys!

I hope everyone has enjoyed their Labor Day holiday!! (If you are in the US!) Otherwise I hope everyone else has enjoyed their day!!

Breakfast on the porch with #Litsy before I start my day.

Think I'll do the #LitsyPartyofOne this weekend! I've got a couple books I'd like to knock out before picking up new library holds on Tuesday (when I go back to work). Also, today starts #RIPXII which I'm super excited about too. Bring on the spooky!

Gah! Unfortunate sign placement, indeed! I immediately thought of @MrBook and the sign faux pas he has posted.

Spread the word, @Ambrosnazzy is hosting another #LitsyPartyOfOne, during Labor Day weekend! Come join the fun!

I loved this book! The writing is sharp, and I love that the author chose to write from the perspective of the 13 year old son. He was the outsider watching a love affair between his mother and a convict unfold before him, and it was a strong choice. Even though you can guess what happens, the denouement was satisfying, and leaves you feeling that love isn't always easy or convenient, but it's always worth it.

This is my pick for the #PopSugarChallenge for the holiday other than Christmas category, and for today's #bookintomovie prompt. I'll try to read it close to the actual Labor Day holiday! #tbr #splashintosummerreads

This one has been sitting on my bookshelf for at least a couple of years. I finally grabbed it at random from all the other books that have been sitting for way too long and I am so glad I did. Although I could predict what was going to happen about 80 pages before the end I still loved it. #mayreads #readyourowndamnbooks

This great book-turned-movie is on sale today for both Kindle and Nook! Grab it and cross off one of your reading challenge prompts! #ebookdeal

A week later and I finally finished! I hate when life gets in the way of reading. Anyway...I'm at a loss as to what to say about it. This book was an interesting, slightly disturbing, happy ending read. I enjoyed it!

I thought it was very fitting to begin reading Labor Day today, considering the holiday. But then Litsy was having trouble all day and I was afraid my choice of book/day pairing would go unappreciated. So far I've fallen deep into this book head first and don't understand why no one in the book finds the circumstances as freaking weird as I do! Let's see where this goes...

More sexual than I expected but makes sense, I suppose, with a 13yo male narrator. Unique cast of characters. Deliberately told, suspenseful.

Ooo! Didn't know there was a movie! Halfway thru the audio. Well-written.

Read this as part of Book Riot's Read Harder Challenge. Found the film first. Because Tobey Maguire can narrate anything. Loved the feeling of both. Except the slap in the film.

Life is messy. Actions can't easily be explained. But there's love in everything, somewhere.

This is the perfect novel to read while going to a beach getaway.
