[For the month of April, I will be participating in A to Z Blogging Challenge. My topic will be legal definitions explained in plain (and hopefully humorous) English. Hope you enjoy!]
I just finished Sycamore Row by Grisham. It was enlightening. Luklily I've had only good relationships with lawyers.
ReplyDeleteI tried to comment on your Tennants behaving badly but was directed to an error message. Clicking on you blog from google+ sent me the same message.
I haven't read Sycamore Row. I'll put it on my TBR list. Thanks for the recommendation and I'm glad you've only had good relationships with lawyers. Not everyone, as you know, can say that [not even me, but I see lawyers every day, so the numbers are against me....]
DeleteSorry I'm not savvy enough to know what happened with the error message. Glad you commented here tho. Thanks
