About Lipton

CBR  9

I'm a middle-aged white lady with a useless law degree and a job in government. I love reading more than pretty much anything else and if I can read while also helping to f@ck cancer then you'd better believe that I'm in like Flynn.

Death Doesn’t Discriminate

February 1, 2017 by Lipton 4 Comments

Life is cruel and life is kind; sometimes it gives and other times it takes. Life is one side of the coin and death is the other. There are the living and there are the dead and then there are the ones trapped in between.

As through a glass darkly …

January 25, 2017 by Lipton 3 Comments

Gotham is a monster. Gotham is the dark. Gotham lives and breathes and eats. It creates the Bat and the Bat creates it. And no one knows for sure if either deserve saving.

Hello Cannonball Read 9 and hello to my very first Cannonball Read review! I’m more than happy to do whatever I can to help kick cancer squarely in the metaphorical nuts. All right, let’s get down to business.
