Good morning! Today’s post will link up to The Sunday Salon, The Sunday Post and Stacking the Shelves, for weekly updates.
**Mailbox Monday is hosted at the home site: Mailbox Monday.
And let’s join Kathryn, our leader in It’s Monday! What Are You Reading?, at Book Date.
After a cooler week, it got hot again, but today will be “down” to 97. Yes, a “cooling trend.” But the nights are cooler, and soon the heat will be in the past.
Labor Day was a quiet one, with books and movies, with one memorable Amazon Video that I loved: The Meddler, with Susan Sarandon and Rose Byrne. A story of a mother who is overly involved in her daughter’s life makes for some fun moments.
Then came a grueling Tuesday, with more dental work. But it’s done, now, so I can focus on forgetting it…lol.
My total in the Read the Books You Buy Challenge has now reached 60! This week, I read and reviewed three books, and I’m now on Books Four and Five, which I don’t expect to finish today.
I finally finished the four seasons of Longmire, and I’m eagerly awaiting Season 5, coming September 23.
I’ve been playing around with new blog headers, as Bloggiesta is on the horizon: September 15.
Let’s grab something caffeinated and talk about the week.
