Post it note Tuesday - what's on your mind
It's Tuesday. Time once again for Post It Note Tuesday. Are you playing along? You should be.
Seriously. Does anyone else have a Postal carrier that doesn't deliver the mail if 1) there is a car she deems too close to the mailbox 2) has a garbage can fall near the mail box 3) has flowers she deems too long near the mailbox.
Then she has the audacity to ask for a tip at Christmas. I have a few tips I can give her....
This book "19 minutes" is my October book of the month. It is about a school shooting and it is an emotional train wreck. As a mother of pre-teen kids, this book is scarier than any fiction you can read.
If your son was accused and on trial for what can only be described as Columbine how would you feel? Would you still see the little boy who loved the crust cut off his bread and couldn't decide if he wanted his hair to grow or for you to buzz it off again or would you see a monster capable of shooting 29 kids and killing 10 of them?
This book makes you mourn for the kids lost but at the same time hate them for what some of them did to the accused. This book makes you side with both the prosecution and the defense and makes you so happy that you are not seated on the jury.
If you like legal thrillers with a twist, you may like this book.
I found the book heart wrenching at times but yet I couldn't put it down. I HAD to know how it would end.
Like I said...an emotional train wreck.
