I'm currently reading LEGEND by Marie Lu. This is 1st of a young adult dystopian trilogy. Here's a description:
What was once the western United States is now home to the Republic, a nation perpetually at war with its neighbors. Born into an elite family in one of the Republic's wealthiest districts, fifteen-year-old June is a prodigy being groomed for success in the Republic's highest military circles. Born into the slums, fifteen-year-old Day is the country's most wanted criminal. But his motives may not be as malicious as they seem. From very different worlds, June and Day have no reason to cross paths - until the day June's brother, Metias, is murdered and Day becomes the prime suspect. Caught in the ultimate game of cat and mouse, Day is in a race for his family's survival, while June seeks to avenge Metias's death. But in a shocking turn of events, the two uncover the truth of what has really brought them together, and the sinister lengths their country will go to keep its secrets.
Published in 2011, it has 352 pages.
Today I'm starting my "healthy-only" food plan. That means no preservatives, chemicals, or fake food. Only real and healthy food 90% of the time. I made a vat of broth from the turkey and this morning was the first that I had some. Good, nutritious bone broth becomes gelatin when done right. And it was!! I did it correctly! My last "bad" dinner was spaghetti. :)
Last night's The Walking Dead mid-season finale was a tough one. A beloved main character was killed off and I'm so pissed about it! Dammit! And, yes, it's fiction and, yes, I cried.
It's been negative 15 and negative 13 the last two mornings so the boys and I have gone for rides instead of walks. It's supposed to get to the 40s by Thursday.
Much love,
PK the Bookeemonster
