Title: Tower of Dawn

Hello Monday! Welcome back. I just have to say that I installed a new keyboard on my laptop and now I have the wonderful V button back. You don't really know how important the V button is until its not there any more. I went an entire year without the V button. Welcome back V button.

There have been so many good books on my radar this week, but I think the one that I am going to go with is Leah on the off beat by Becky Albertalli. It was voted on of the best books of 2018 by Goodreads readers. Its a shorter book so I think I'll be done with it within a day.

I think you will all find this weeks menu to be delicious. Enjoy!

'Dark, twisty and excellent . . . Grimdark with heart' Mark Lawrence

A sorceress cataclysm has hit the Range, the final defensive line between the Republic and the immortal Deep Kings.

Tormenting red rains sweep the land, new monstrosities feed on fear in the darkness, and the power of the Nameless, the gods who protect the Republic, lies broken. The Blackwing captains who serve them are being picked off one by one, and even immortals have learned what it means to die. Meanwhile the Deep Kings have only grown stronger, and are poised to deliver a blow that will finally end the war.

Ryhalt Galharrow stands apart from it all.

He has been deeper into the wasteland known as the Misery than ever before. It has grown within him - changed him - but all power comes with a price, and now the ghosts of his past, formerly confined to the Misery, walk with him everywhere.

They will even follow him, and the few surviving Blackwing captains, on one final mission into the darkness.

Seeking women ages 18–32 to participate in a study on ethics and morality. Generous compensation. Anonymity guaranteed.

When Jessica Farris signs up for a psychology study conducted by the mysterious Dr. Shields, she thinks all she’ll have to do is answer a few questions, collect her money, and leave.

Question #1: Could you tell a lie without feeling guilt?

But as the questions grow more and more intense and invasive and the sessions become outings where Jess is told what to wear and how to act, she begins to feel as though Dr. Shields may know what she’s thinking… and what she’s hiding.

Question #2: Have you ever deeply hurt someone you care about?

As Jess’s paranoia grows, it becomes clear that she can no longer trust what in her life is real, and what is one of Dr. Shields’ manipulative experiments. Caught in a web of deceit and jealousy, Jess quickly learns that some obsessions can be deadly.

Question #3: Should a punishment always fit the crime?

From the authors of the blockbuster bestseller The Wife Between Us comes an electrifying new novel about doubt, passion, and just how much you can trust someone.

Monday, here we are again. It seems like one week melds into the next and we are stuck in this continuous cycle of Mondays. Always Mondays.

It was a strange week last week with the fourth of July happening right in the middle. My middle son came down with a fever on Monday and it didn't go away until Friday. His fever spiked on the 4th at 104 and right before the fireworks started at dusk, we ended up in the ER, attempting to bring the fever down to a less damaging heat. he was at 100 by the time we lest, but the doctors couldn't figure out what was causing the fever. No infections, no symptoms of the flu, no fluid in the longs or appendicitis. There was just nothing. I'm glad that the fever finally broke, but that kid likes to give me a scare.

The book for this week is going to be Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion. I've seen the movie and there is nothing out there that I know of like this. The whole premise of a zombie coming back to life because he falls in love with a living girl is awesome. I really wanted to find out how that would unfold on paper. What do you think?

This weeks menu is going to be delicious. I'm still happy with the recipes from Marley Spoon by Martha Stewart. They are simple and usually don't have a lot of carbs as the base. I'm not a huge carb freak in the evenings tend to like a nice salad with my protein. What is your meal style?

I hope you enjoy these recipes. I know I will.

Welcome to the June book wrap up. I can't believe how many books I read last month, there were 22 in all. That's a lot, even for me. I think its because the summer reading program is going on at the library, and the more books you read, the more entries you have into the weekly drawing.

There have been some pretty amazing books, like Vicious and This is where it ends, but then there have been some really terrible ones like Clockwork Orange. I am sorry if you loved Clockwork Orange, but I couldn't stand it. The only reason I read it was because I needed a book with my favorite color in the title. I'm running out of Orange books and think I might need to change my favorite color next year. I'm just putting that out there.

Lets get on to the books. Have you read them? What did you think? Leave me a comment below.

Salvation Day

A lethal virus is awoken on an abandoned spaceship in this incredibly fast-paced, claustrophobic thriller.

They thought the ship would be their salvation.

Zahra knew every detail of the plan. House of Wisdom, a massive exploration vessel, had been abandoned by the government of Earth a decade earlier, when a deadly virus broke out and killed everyone on board in a matter of hours. But now it could belong to her people if they were bold enough to take it. All they needed to do was kidnap Jaswinder Bhattacharya—the sole survivor of the tragedy, and the last person whose genetic signature would allow entry to the spaceship.

But what Zahra and her crew could not know was what waited for them on the ship—a terrifying secret buried by the government. A threat to all of humanity that lay sleeping alongside the orbiting dead.

And then they woke it up.
