Another day, another heat advisory. Today we reached 102 again. All I want to do is eat popsicles and stay indoors! So I don’t have much planned for this weekend except for staying cool.
I have received some new ARCs so maybe I should spend some time with these instead, what do you think? Here are the books I got:
Two Across by Jeff Bartsch. Highly awkward teenager Stanley Owens meets his match in beautiful, brainy Vera Baxter when they tie for first place in the annual National Spelling Bee-and the two form a bond that will change both of their lives. This sounds like a sweet love story.
The Mountain Story by Lori Lansens. Nola has decided to hike up a mountain to commemorate her wedding anniversary, the first since her beloved husband passed. I read her book, The Girls, and loved it so I hope this will be a winner.
Still Mine by Amy Stuart. What happens if you vanish from your life and leave no story behind? Someone will make one up for you. Doesn’t this sound interesting? Is it me or have there been so many thrillers this summer that just sound so good?
Monsoon Summer by Julia Gregson. An epic love story moving from England to India, about the forbidden love between a young Indian doctor and an English midwife. Lovely cover and historical drama.
White Bone by Ridley Pearson.When ex–military contractor John Knox receives a text from partner Grace Chu warning that she fears her cover may have been blown while on assignment, he jumps into action. This sounds very different from most mysteries I read so I’m interested.
Have a wonderful weekend friends and stay cool!
I’ve only read The Mountain Story from your stack here – I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did! And yes, staying indoors reading & eating popsicles sounds like a fine plan, here as well
Sounds like the perfect way to spend a hot weekend – stay cool!
Read Monsoon Summer in the winter. Too hot for that type of story.
I used to read about treks to the North & South Poles during the hot Texas summers to keep my mind off the heat.
Oh yuck. I hope you cool off soon. but in the mean time at least you have lots of new books to keep you occupied 🙂
Melwyk – Oh I’m glad to hear you enjoyed that one! It’s just too hot to do anything else isn’t it? I’m ready for Fall 🙂
Joann @ Lakeside Musing – I’m going to try. I went out with some co-workers for lunch and I thought I was going to suffocate in that heat!
Isabel – Right? I think the Texas summers are what started my love affair with Scandinavian mysteries. haha… Stay cool too girl!
Stefanie – It is yuck! Now there is the problem with too many books – I get overwhelmed 🙂
Oh, a new Lori Lansens! I hope that is good!
This has been a miserably hot summer, hasn’t it? I haven’t read any of these books, but they offer a great reason to stay inside!
They all look good, especially Still Mine. Happy reading and stay cool. We are having a heatwave here in NJ too, alot of humidity.
I’ve taken to eating popsicles when I get home from work. 🙂 We’re about to go back into the triple digits again tomorrow and I am not looking forward to it. It’s sad when 90+’s is comfortable–but that’s how this summer has been.
Your new books sound really good, Iliana. Especially Still Mine.
All the books sound so good! It’d be a wonderful treat to stay indoors with the AC blowing and reading! 🙂
