What book Sean?

[Janet , Moderator]

It's called Deadly Savage and the discussion is in the Group read folder.

[Diane Lynch]

Thank you Janet. We can ask questions all month correct?

[Janet , Moderator]

You can indeed! :)

[Sean, Moderator]

I have started the book.

Peter Savage, a great character, based in Bend, Oregon.

Where Dave Edlund lives. Sounds lovely.

[Amber]

My "Christmas in July" jag is over. Won't listen to that playlist again until right after Thanksgiving.

Although the song is almost over, this is what I'm currently listening to:

Rhapsody of Fire ft. Sir Christopher Lee: The Magic of the Wizard's Dream (Italian): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScrK9...

You mean Bend right? It's a beautiful area. There's a great seafood restaurant there and outside of Bend is the High Desert Museum, a great place to visit: https://www.highdesertmuseum.org/

*screams in utter frustration and barely restrains herself from putting her fist through the monitor*

I am utterly unable to find, anywhere on GR, a copy of the 2014 weight watchers annual recipes for success!

*continues cussing at the screen*

Right now GoodReads is making me go "GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!" like an old bear suddenly awakened in the middle of hibernation!

Fantastically fast paced and gripping !!

[Sean, Moderator]

Hottest day off my whole two weeks off, all this week has been lovely, but back to work tomorrow.

Horribly.

[Kirsten]

It's funny we had really hot weather in May and early June, but lately it's been quite mild.

[HornFan2]

Turned the AC on in March, won't turn it off till Dec or whenever it gets cold again and everyday it's 95 or higher and with the ground index over 103 or higher.

[Jean]

And we're whining because the weather guys are forecasting three straight 90 degree days this week with heat indices of 103+...and it's,not even starting until tomorrow! It's what we do in Minnesota. We talk - and complain - about the weather. It's often "too" something - hot, cold, muggy, wet... We've had some pretty perfect days recently though.

[Janet , Moderator]

We're having a mini heatwave. Determined to enjoy it and not moan. This summer we've been lucky to see the yellow orb.

[Jean]

Janet, you're sure it's not a UFO?

[Lorrea - WhatChaReadin'?]

If you are interested in signing up for Book Pals for the month of August, please do so by the end of the week. I will be picking pals next week. Here is where you sign up: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[Sean, Moderator]

Yes, just back to work today, shame.

But played tennis tonight, it was hot !

Still 28-30 C

Tomorrow we are 32-34 C

Hot Hot !

You will have me swimming in the sea soon.

@Jean, I was thinking the same thing about the weather here in TN. We are in the 90's all week this week. I'm not complaining after seeing Mike's post.

[Amber]

Third time all summer we've had heat advisories. Last year it seemed like summer was just one damned unrelenting heat advisory.

That's about 86degrees F -90 deg. F ? That's what it was on Long Island this morning when I played. Really steamy. But makes for a great workout!

Hot Hot !

[Joanna]

Sorry don't know how my comment above got into the middle of Sean's comment. it was supposed to be a reply
