Wednesday. And our salesperson apparently decided telling us he was quitting was just too much.
I'm. So. Tired. Of. It. What a loser.
But I'm not going to dwell on it. Contacted an employment service for new resumes. Trying to figure out what customers he'd been helping, etc.
I finished the Arruda historical mystery yesterday. 3 stars. I'm back to the Hilliard book and I think I'm going to read RED RISING by Pierce Brown (finally!). 1st of 6 in sci fi series.
Darrow is a Red, a member of the lowest caste in the color-coded society of the future. Like his fellow Reds, he works all day, believing that he and his people are making the surface of Mars livable for future generations.Yet he spends his life willingly, knowing that his blood and sweat will one day result in a better world for his children. But Darrow and his kind have been betrayed. Soon he discovers that humanity already reached the surface generations ago. Vast cities and sprawling parks spread across the planet. Darrow—and Reds like him—are nothing more than slaves to a decadent ruling class. Inspired by a longing for justice, and driven by the memory of lost love, Darrow sacrifices everything to infiltrate the legendary Institute, a proving ground for the dominant Gold caste, where the next generation of humanity's overlords struggle for power. He will be forced to compete for his life and the very future of civilization against the best and most brutal of Society's ruling class. There, he will stop at nothing to bring down his enemies... even if it means he has to become one of them to do so.
Published 2014; 401 pages. This has been on my radar for a long time. Maybe this is the time.
Steve's got the gun range tonight. I'm going to lose myself in a book and forget the world for the evening.
Have a good day
Much love,
PK the Bookeemonster
