Great game, even better book - Recommendations

My go to game is Apples to Apples.  It's a great game for kids and adults alike, although I find it more fun when the adults play this one.   However there is a new kid in town taking Apples to Apples spotlight and that game is Smart Ass.  It is the self proclaimed "ultimate trivia game" for the inpatient and overanxious.  You think you know who, what, or where the answer is as clues are read out?  Well, then by all means yell it out.  But if you get it wrong, forfeit any other chances to guess the answer.  It truly is a fun game testing how much you know and teaching you along the way.  


I just finished The Weight of Silence by Heather Gudenkauf and it is one of the best books I have read to this day.  The short preview of the book is about two girls who go missing.  Both are best friends.  One talks, the other is a selective mute.  Did they go together or separate?  Why did they leave?  If they didn't run off into the forest to play, then who took them?  Each chapter is told from each of the main characters point of the view.  Great character development and storyline.  READ IT!
