Yet another month gone, and it’s the dog days of summer (at least here in Kansas). I have more this month because of the 48 Hour Book Challenge. But, I realized that between work, the girls being home from school, and a yard and garden to care for (not to mention Master Chef and the rest of White Collar, season 3 to watch), I don’t get much actual reading done. Which doesn’t bode well for the TBR pile…

My favorite book, hands down, was

The 5th Wave

Gritty, intense, and completely awesome. I can’t recommend it highly enough.
