Great to have a bracing walk on the beach though (if you're in the right clothes hahaha). xShaz Goodwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01958774656126470776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261031256338113167.post-86111958785169844072016-08-20T14:42:20.105-04:002016-08-20T14:42:20.105-04:00Hi Shaz!

I forgot to call Edison this week! Darn! HOW could I have forgotten to do that? UGH!!! Oh, well. We are currently charging our electronic devices so we can read and go online later!! I think our Kindle Fires have 3G so we are SUPER lucky with those!!<br />Oh, wow! You have Guest Reviewers! HOW NICE!!! What a HUGE HELP!!! I can't WAIT to hear what they have to say about Don't You Cry by Mary Kubica! I believe it's getting 5 star reviews!! I'm super interested in the review and will be watching when I stop by your blog today! Thanks for telling me!! You wrote this - I can't tell while I'm replying! LOL! I'm writing this reply Saturday, Aug 20th at 2:30 and guess what? It's SUPER HOT OUT AGAIN!! I've had ENOUGH of this weather!!! I am SO HOT I am just drenched! GREAT thing I am wearing my hair STRAIGHT because I could NEVER hold a curl with weather like this! It's also the humidity that's a KILLER! It's like breathing water! Thankfully I SIT to write the posts out, and I turn the fan on! NICE!!! I did look up the temperatures for Celsius and I AGREE with you!! I could not handle anything above mid 20's, too! I'm with you! England is not a hot country, unless maybe you are down at the south end on the beach?? I've always wondered about that, if you could vacation in the south of England and have it be warm enough to go comfortable without a coat in south England in the middle of winter!! You'll have to let us know! <br />Thanks so much, again, for stopping by!<br />I'll see you next week, too!<br />Laurielauriehere.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09313379396004112698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261031256338113167.post-22932356259646365182016-08-17T05:27:21.766-04:002016-08-17T05:27:21.766-04:00Hope you get resolution with those trees Laurie. ...Hope you get resolution with those trees Laurie. I can't really imagine what it must be like for you! Mid 20's in the UK is too hot for me ...<br /><br />I have a guest reviewer for Don't You Cry so look forward to hearing your thoughts.<br /><br />#TalkoftheTownShaz Goodwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01958774656126470776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261031256338113167.post-726888879599308802016-08-14T10:29:27.008-04:002016-08-14T10:29:27.008-04:00Hi Suz!

I'm glad you like my list! I do, too! It is ALL super good reading! <br />I left one out that I bought for myself, and this Sunday morning I have been reading it! It's really good, "At the Water's Edge" by Sara Gruen, author of Water for Elephants! I just noticed the title! BOTH have "water" in them! I wonder about her other books? I will say she sure can keep your interest in a book! Even if you have to put it down for some reason, WOW! You ARE picking it back up! She is a really good author!<br />Happy Summer! Enjoy it because we are nearing the end already! I can't believe it! I noticed the date just a bit ago, and where did it go? Wow!!!<br />I hope to see you next week, and I'll be stopping by your place if you have one, too!<br />Thanks for stopping by!<br />Laurielauriehere.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09313379396004112698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261031256338113167.post-10346615472616454262016-08-14T10:23:47.111-04:002016-08-14T10:23:47.111-04:00Hi MsArdychan!
Thanks for the nice compliment! How...Hi MsArdychan!<br />Thanks for the nice compliment! However, it DID take me OVER 5 YEARS to finally decide to NOT accept ANY NEW BOOKS for review until I catch up! Like you said, sometimes you feel you are under constant pressure! YEP! I did! I said to myself, "Self, this MUST STOP!" So I did take steps to STOP IT! It feels SO GREAT, too!<br />What I have listed here are my NetGalley books. I have this HUGE pile of print books I have to review yet, too! I NEED to hit these, too! Once I get a few more NetGalley books knocked down off that list, I will most likely alternate between ebook and print books. Reading print during the day when it's easier to see it, and ebook at nighttime because it's easier to see the Kindle then! Although, sometimes when you find a book that is SOOOOO great, no matter what type it is, I'll ONLY read that book!<br />Make SURE to come by next week! I forgot to tell you guys about our power plant catching ON FIRE!!! On that note, I HOPE to see you next week and I'll have that story for you! (It ALL happened on the SAME DAY!!!)<br />Thanks for leaving a comment! I LOVE these!! You have a wonderful last few weeks of summer! Can you believe it??!! It's MID August already! WOW!!! Our kids do not go back to school until after Labor Day - it's LAW now! The reason: Tourism for our state!! NO KIDDING!!! Yep! Thanks to our Governor, now school goes later into the summer, almost to the end of June so the kids start the day after Labor Day. I guess in a way it makes more sense this way because they would bring the kids back to school for 3 days before they had the Labor Day weekend off! That was always irritating, I remember, when my kids were young!<br />Thanks again!<br />Laurielauriehere.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09313379396004112698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261031256338113167.post-36052684988682008342016-08-14T08:17:49.337-04:002016-08-14T08:17:49.337-04:00Sorry to hear that!

I live in California where it is not humid in the summer (but we do have Earthquakes, so nowhere is perfect, right?). I couldn't deal with the humidity. It's so smart of you to catch up on books, rather than get bogged down with a bunch of new books. That has been a constant source of pressure for me. I will aspire to be more like you. Have a good week.MsArdychanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16011176764545344829noreply@blogger.com
