So there, Monday! Won't see you for 2 days!


I'm currently reading a young adult, dystopian book, the first of a trilogy. MATCHED by Ally Condie. Here is a description:
Cassia has always trusted the Society to make the right choices for her: what to read, what to watch, what to believe. So when Xander's face appears on-screen at her Matching ceremony, Cassia knows with complete certainty that he is her ideal mate . . . until she sees Ky Markham's face flash for an instant before the screen fades to black. The Society tells her it's a glitch, a rare malfunction, and that she should focus on the happy life she's destined to lead with Xander. But Cassia can't stop thinking about Ky, and as they slowly fall in love, Cassia begins to doubt the Society's infallibility and is faced with an impossible choice: between Xander and Ky, between the only life she's known and a path that no one else has dared to follow.
It was published in 2010 and has 384 pages. Unlike some HUNGER GAMES wannabes, this one is developing rather well in dealing with control issues in future society.  This is from the library. Dystopian teen book category is quite large.

I did the usual cleaning and laundry and also got groceries. I could NOT sleep last night (was it because of the full moon?) so I also took a nap. Like I need an excuse. Coda took a nap, too ... ON me. Kinda like an electric blanket only heavier.

Not much on TV tonight - we may channel surf. Steve is bringing home dinner, don't know yet what it will be.

Much love,
PK the Bookeemonster
