Cookies and a Pulitzer Shake-up

 These are cooling on my counter right now. Don't you wish you were at my house? Butterscotch and chocolate chip cookies. Yum.

In other news, this year's Pulitzer Prizes were awarded today, and *gasp* one was not awarded for fiction. Three novels were shortlisted: Train Dreams, by Denis Johnson, Swamplandia, by Karen Russell, and The Pale King, by David Foster Wallace, but none won the prize. While not unprecedented - it's happened 9 other times but not since 1977, it is still a bit of a surprise. I have to admit I'm a little disappointed not to have a new book to add to my "to be read" list.
