Whoa it has been a busy week and at the same time it hasn't been at all, if that makes sense at all. I guess its because the news keeps saying that we are getting a lot of snow and ice and all that jazz and in reality we probably wont get anything. I would be okay with that considering that I work on Saturdays now, I have to be able to drive in said weather.
I get to cook next week at the house and I had to decide on a menu and that is an awful task let me tell you, but I did it. we are going to have tortilla wraps and pasta salad, slow cooker chicken crack, breakfast casserole, white trash sliders, grilled chicken and slow cooker potatoes, BLT's and tuna salad wraps. I will include the recipes and pictures in the bottom of this post. I like to have a picture of what I am supposed to be cooking so I have a reference lol. Also I like to have a picture because if it doesn't look good I don't want to cook it. The pasta salad is a recipe that my mom use to make for my dad when I was little. Its so good, you can make a batch and eat on it for days; the longer it sits in the dressing the better it gets too!
So I have finished Reconstructing Amelia by Kimberly McCreight and I don't know what to say. I had to sit it aside and think about the ending once I was done. The way the author wove everything together was perfect and simple at the same time. I never saw the ending the way it was I had my mind made up about who did it and boy was I wrong. I guess it goes to show you, you never really know who your true friends are and why they ones that try to be your friends do just that; try to be your friend. About the book: Kate is interrupted at work; where she is a lawyer who is never at home, by a call to say that her daughter Amelia has been suspended from prep school, for cheating on a English paper which is her best and favorite subject. Amelia is a perfect student and never does anything wrong. As she arrives to take her home she is greeted by sirens wailing and ambulance lights blazing. The cops and the headmistress tells her that her daughter has jumped off the roof. And so begins an investigation which takes her deep into Amelia's private world. But did Amelia jump? When Kate starts to get text messages from an anonymous person, she starts to look in to her daughters life from the outside in. She goes through all her social media and we find out many things about Amelia as the book goes through her perspective, her mothers, and Facebook status's, and an awful blog about the students of the prep school. We find out about the people in her life and some of it was surprising to me. I mean I didn't see some of the twists coming at all. I definitely recommend this book. It kind of had a Pretty Little Liars feel to it, maybe that's why I liked it as much as I did.
I am getting ready to start reading Luckiest Girl Alive by Jessica Knoll. I am excited about this book because they said it was an instant New York Times and USA Today Bestseller. I hope I am not let down with all they hype they have attached to it.
