The Scorch Trials by James Dashner

The Scorch Trials picks up where The Maze Runner left off. The Gladers 
have escaped the Maze, but now they face an even more treacherous 
challenge on the open roads of a devastated planet.  They are told the minimal, and face the worst.
And WICKED has made sure to adjust the variables and stack the odds against them.
Can Thomas survive in such a violent world?

The Second book in the Maze Runner series left me furious.  Not at the book or the author, but at the characters.  You know, the 'bad guys'.  Just when they thought the whole ordeal was done, it wasn't.  Now you as a reader know that-- he wouldn't write a book about nothing at all.  This surprisingly realistic situation leaves your brain thinking, and wanting more.  I honestly don't think I ever set the book down.  The Scorch Trials is book full of suspense, twists, and emotion.  I swear that if you liked the first book in the novel, then you will love this one.  James Dashner did a phenomenal job of writing this book-- it is well written and able to bring out emotions, making you laugh at appropriate times or feeling angry.  He was well organized and kept me craving the next page, chapter, book.  I promise You won't lose interest, it is well worth the read!

Watch out for my next review on the Final book in The Maze Runner trilogy: The Death Cure

Broads On A Budget: Fresh, Healthy, and Within The Budget!

Lately, I've seen a few news segments citing the higher cost in buying fresh produce and healthy foods compared with processed, prepared, packaged, but far from healthy products. This caught my attention. Eating for health is... well, sort of my goal. I want my family (and myself!) to be healthy, but what I want most is to enjoy my food while feeling great about it's health and nutrition benefits. We can watch every cooking show on the cable channels, read each new cooking magazine with eager determination, and lose an hour (or two!) on Pinterest boards, but if we can't afford the grocery bill to create all those wonderful meals - it's all a wash. So...is it possible to prepare healthy meals with fresh ingredients AND stick to a budget? Broads everywhere know the answer is YOUUUU BETCHA! One issue I struggled with was meal-plan-cohesiveness. In other words, creating my weekly meal plan around my fresh ingredients on hand to avoid waste. (Who else has cring

Euphemania-Ralph Keyes: Review and Giveaway

A Book About Why We Speak As We Do We tend to read a lot of fiction here at the Brazen Broads Book Bash, so it's always nice to get our hands on some good nonfiction books almost as a way to cleanse our palettes sometimes. Ralph Keyes book, Euphemania , is the perfect mix of informative yet interesting. In it, he shares the reasons why we use euphemisms so often in our daily speech. The main idea behind the book is that euphemisms are used to make the uncomfortable more comfortable. Therefore, they're very common in discussions about sex. One anecdote offered in the book refers to Jesse Jackson's threat during the 2008 election in which he stated he wanted to "cut off Barack Obama's nuts." Keyes explains that the major news organizations struggled with how to report this, using euphemisms such as Jackson wanted to do something to his sensitive areas. (It escapes the Broads why they couldn't just say Jackson wanted to castrate him.) Euphemania

IT will probably kill me...

First of all, let me state that I love my husband. Let it also be known that this fact may not save him from becoming a new "compost heap" in my back yard. Maybe I'll plant a few shrubs on top, that would look nice. Ooh, a nice gazebo covered in climbing roses and maybe a swing with....what? Oh. I have tried to come to terms with something that sends me into a state of near panic at the mere mention of the word. Retirement. There... I said it and didn't swoon. I have heard the stories from married ladies with retired husbands, and with, first my father's and now my husband's lay-offs, I have experienced brief glimpses into this world. So, I have learned some things . The main thing, really, is that I would like to opt out but cannot, in good conscience, do that. He can't work forever. Right? My dearest other half is only 40, so this retirement isn't happening anytime soon, but still. He works as a carpenter, wh
