I haven't spent more than about 5 minutes each day on the news (didn't feel the need to) and I hope to keep it that way for as long as possible. Life Yep, another busy work week.

The

God Don't Like Ugly by Mary Monroe: I wanted to read some book on my nook, before I started splurging. This one caught my eye, as it was offered as a free book on Friday. So far, it is quite engrossing, which I didn't expect it to be.
