Happy Friday! What are you reading?
So how do you like it so far? Is it for any of the challenges?
June starts this weekend?! Where did May go?
So are you looking forward to hot summer weather or could you skip right to the cool heading to fall?

Re: Happy Friday! What are you reading?
I'm listening to an AEITB as a re read for the release of MOBY. I'm not sure I'll finish in time, but I plan on savoring MOBY, so I'm not worried about starting release day. I say that, of course, until it shows up on my doorstep. #44

I am reading The Summer Queen by Elizabeth Chadwick.
I am not excited for the heat of summer. Summer in Kansas is freaking miserable.
my read shelf:
I'm reading Native Son by Richard Wright, Roots by Alex Haley and Hold Tight by Harlan Coben. I'm really enjoying Roots ... fantastic. Native Son is pretty good, too. But, Hold Tight isn't doing it for me. I'm listening to it and the "voices" are really bothering me with this one. Otherwise, it's an ok story.
They are all for the challenge.
I'm not looking forward to summer hot/humid. We didn't get a spring and I feel jipped by that. I don't like going from 50's straight to 80's/90's. Ugh! Oh well ... it won't last forever.
That's why there's air conditioning!

I love summer. I love the hot weather, farmers markets, meals on the deck, wine festivals and sundresses!

I love summer. The sun, warmth, kayaking, cottaging, shorts, dresses, skirts. So nice! But in mid to late Aug I start to look forward to fall.
I'm finishing Push Girl, and Hollow City by Ransom Riggs, and am starting the audiobook for BJ Novak's 'One More Thing:Stories and Other Stories'.
I'm just ready to go swimming. It's been raining off an on this week and I would love for clear skies this weekend to go for a dip.

"People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality."

I'm listening to The Maze Runner as a reread so I can finish the series. I don't really like the narrator'narrator's voice. It's a little too Movie Phone for me.
Bring on the heat!

I just started reading The Manchurian Candidate by Richard Condon last night. I've seen the Sinatra version of the movie (but not the newer Denzel version), and for whatever reason I was expecting sort of a deep, darkish piece of literature, but this reads almost like Christopher Moore or Carl Hiassen writing military/war/politics. It's sort of funny, and only 30 pages in, a lot lighter than I was expecting. I'm enjoying it.
These are books 27 and 28 for the year, so I'm soon to top my final total of 30 from last year already. That was my only goal for this year, so good for me.
BRING ON SUMMER!! I'm so done with these 40 degree nights and early mornings. I can't wait to swim in the ocean and float my pregnant ass around a pool.

I'm listening to The Thirteenth Child. It is really good. I bought it because it was described as Laura Ingalls meets Harry Potter. Sold!
I just started reading The One and Only this morning, so I have no opinion so far.
I love the activities that go along with summer. I love biking, hiking, camping, swimming, canoeing....
But, I do have a harder time functioning when it's very hot. I like cool summer days with a breeze.
I get Lyme flare ups a lot in the summer.
But I do like not having to lotion up my skin as much because in the Winter that lotion is on alllll the time.

I am looking forward to summer since I'll be home with my daughter and am due July 4th with my second.
