With Tough Mudder just a little over a week away I think my best bet is to stop exercising. I’m tired of it and it makes me grumpy. Knowing my greatest weakness at TM will be climbing the mountain I have been training at a local park that has a hill that I call the HILL OF DOOOM!! Yes, that’s Dooom with three O’s. It’s just that bad. I hate this hill and I seriously do not know why anyone would have made a path on it because it will never be a pleasant experience. When I think of people creating walking paths I would like to think they are creating them to be a pleasant experience, not a new form of torture. I see people going up it all the time, and I am never quite sure why they would do it on purpose. I have a good reason for going up it, but these other people shouldn’t be suffering as they do. Aliens…I will blame it on mind controlling men from Mars. What? Makes about as much sense don’t you agree?

RIFT (The Rift Saga Book 1)
Andreas Christensen
4.6 Stars (43 Reviews)
Genre: Science Fiction

FREE for a limited time

RIFT – The new dystopian trilogy book 1 from the author of the Exodus Trilogy.

The RIFT Saga begins here. In the ruins of what was once North America lays the Covenant, a nation forged by the iron will of the Moon people, who descended from their dusty refuge on the Moon after the Fall. The Moon people are wealthy, ruled by a strong government who protects its citizens from the dangers from outside their borders. Their greatest achievement is having learned the secret of immortality, and every citizen has the opportunity to live nearly forever if they choose to, a life of riches and abundance. The English are the descendants of the original inhabitants of this place, and they live very different lives from that of the Moon people. They only live to serve the greater good, and citizenship is something few have the opportunity to earn. At the age of fifty all non-citizens are subjected to mandatory euthanasia. In order to maintain a sustainable society, they are told. Every year a number of girls and boys at the age of eighteen are selected for Service to the State. The brightest and most talented are sent to become Students. The strong, the fighters and the athletes become Janissaries, a band of soldiers protecting the northern border from the enemies of the Covenant. The Wardens, a secretive organization known to operate far to the west, near the Rift, which makes up the border to the wastelands, sometimes choses one or two initiates, but nobody knows what becomes of them. And then there is the Corpus, where the whip rules and backs are bent. Those who complete their Service, may become citizens. And although they will never be equal to the Moon people, they will have access to all the riches and opportunities granted by the Covenant leadership to its citizens. As Sue is nearing Selection Day, she secretly hopes to be chosen, despite having to leave her mother and brother behind. She doesn’t crave glory or wealth though. A man or woman with citizen status can do a lot of good, and although few return to their home towns, Sue hopes to return to give her family a better life on the other side of Service. But the Covenant is rotten to the core, and as she begins to learn its secrets, Sue must question everything she has always taken for granted. Soon she will find herself in dire peril, for she has seen the truth and there will be no turning back after that…

This science fiction dystopian trilogy is set more than two centuries after the events of Exodus, in a future dystopian society forged from the ashes of global disaster.

Lincoln’s Last Hours
Charles Augustus Leale
4.5 Stars (210 Reviews)
Genre: History

FREE for a limited time

Charles Augustus Leale M.D. (March 26, 1842 – June 13, 1932) was a surgeon in the Union Army during the American Civil War. He was the first doctor to arrive at the presidential box at Ford’s Theatre on April 14, 1865 after John Wilkes Booth fatally shot President Abraham Lincoln in the back of the head with a Philadelphia Deringer pistol. His 1865 written report to the Surgeon General of the United States was thought lost until 2008, when a 22-page photocopy was found in the Georgetown University Library and published. Seemingly written just hours after the assassination, a second copy was found in the National Archives in June 2012.
