Gonna keep this short and sweet. Covering all the books. Links are Amazon affiliates.

Quick reminder, if you're looking for someone who only reports on books from a single genre, I am not that person. I read widely and talk about it.

Whatever you think of the sitting "former reality star" president, our jails have been for-profit businesses for quite awhile. I think we've got W to thank for that but I'm not interesting in researching it right now, so that's an uninformed opinion. This story is simply taking it to the extreme -- the extreme being a viewing public hungry and demanding more murders and the ends to which those in control will go.

​The story is captivating. I'm definitely hooked, even though it'll probably take me a few days (or a week plus) to get through it. Thank goodness I read fast.

That's all I've got time to report on this month. It's been busy, busy, busy. School starting gives me plenty of time write -- it just came with a whole heaping helping of other stuff that tires a person out.

I make one batch then split it so each kid gets a bowl for their color choice. My eldest remains firmly in the pink camp. My youngest is much more willing to experiment. Thankfully, they will eat any color pancakes.

Even better, these can be frozen between pieces of wax paper. This is critical for my youngest who takes after my baby brother. She wants pancakes every morning and I don't often have the time to make a fresh batch. So, out of the freezer come the leftover pancakes. 30 seconds or so in the microwave and my youngest is a happy kiddo!
