I've seen several people comment on their cooler temps and fall-like weather... and I'm so jealous. It's still hitting 90 degrees here and that's why this watermelon granita is looking so refreshing. And so simple!

WHAT I FINISHED IN THE LAST WEEK:
I finished Everything Under the Sun by Jessica Redmerski and wow, what a read! Yes it was a long one (600+ pages) but I was so invested and was turning pages as fast as I could. This one was anything but dull! I was pretty sure the ending would break me... and it did. And now I desperately need the next book. And it was pretty cool to see Jessica leave a comment on my review! :)
WHAT I'M CURRENTLY READING:
This one is so living up to the hype! Thanks to Sam and Lindsi for badgering gently encouraging me to read this one. I love Stella, I adore Michael, and depending on how much packing I get done today I will probably finish this tonight. Loving it!
WHAT I'M CURRENTLY LISTENING TO:
I'm listening to the audio version of this one for an upcoming blog tour. It's my first by Whitney G. and I'm enjoying it so far. I like the "then" and "now" narrative but Charlotte sure is one stubborn lady!
I'm intrigued by this series since it has a military aspect.
I've looked at this one for ages and since it was $0.99 this week...
The cover is so cheesy but I'm trash for Abbi Glines.
I've read three from this series and they're fun light romances.
How was your week? Any new books? Any news to share?
I'd love to hear about it!
Ugh, I'm so not looking forward to the packing! We're in the slowly sorting through things stage while we wait for our completion date...
ReplyDeleteIt's all exciting though! I hope you get some chill time later to finish The Kiss Quotient.
Yep, we did a lot of the sorting when we were readying the house for the photographer (before it went on the market). It was the perfect time to start weeding out.
DeleteI did finish The Kiss Quotient and it was as wonderful as every said! :)
Oh you had a lovely library! Good luck packing. That is the worst. Enjoy all your new books and have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThanks Grace. :) And yes, packing IS the worst. Ugh! I just keep telling myself there’s an end in sight. :)
DeleteIf it makes you feel better, it will be in the 90s again in NJ this week. Did I mention how much I hate summer? Your library was lovely. I hope the one in your new house is even better. Three cheers for you reading The Kiss Quotient. I am getting chills just thinking about how wonderful that book was, and the ending is rock solid. I bought Brothers ages ago, but still haven't read it. I need to put more romances back in my reading life though. A romance binge is on the horizon. The only Whitney G book I read was Sincerely, Carter and I adored it. I really need to read more of her books.
ReplyDeleteI’m so over summer, Sam! And it sounds like you are, too. Unfortunately (as I’m sure you remember), summer in FL doesn’t embed when the calendar says it’s fall. Ugh.
DeleteThanks, I love my little library. :) And I can’t wait to get it set up again at the new house.
The Kiss Quotient was so, so good. Michael was precious and Stella was wonderful... I just loved them!
The Whitney G. book was good but felt a little “on the surface” if that makes sense. Maybe because it was so short or maybe that’s just her style, I don’t know. But I’d definitely be willing to read more from her.
God I love your library! It's so gorgeous! I hate packing. It's the worst. I hate unpacking even more haha I hope it goes well for you! ☺ ❤
ReplyDeleteThanks Julia!!! :) I’m excited to get it set up again in the new house... I miss it!
DeleteYou are so right... packing is lame but the unpacking... ugh. I am so not looking forward to that!
Btw, do you have a blog, Julia? I’d love to visit but your Google profile didn’t show anything...
I entered the giveaway as soon as I saw your review Tanya!!! Now enjoy the Kiss Quotient this was so fantastic!!! Oh and I am jealous of your bookshelf ;) Happy Sunday!
ReplyDeleteMy fingers are crossed for you, Sophie! :)
DeleteI adored The Kiss Quotient! Stella + Michael were so precious!
So much packing. Ugh. I am so glad you are loving The Kiss Quotient. It really was delightful.
ReplyDeleteI’m so ready to call in professional packers, Kim. LOL
DeleteThe Kiss Quotient was so wonderful. I just loved it. :)
I'm glad I don't have your temps anymore, but if you want to send 10 my way, I'd take them and we'd both feel a bit better...because I'm now covered in a blanket. I LOVE those shelves! They are AMAZING! I have shelf envy! I hope you have a great week :)
ReplyDeleteWouldn’t it be great if that were possible?! I’d gladly share. :)
DeleteMy IKEA bookcases will go with me to the new house but the built-in unit will have to stay since it was custom-made for that space. It breaks my heart because my father made that for me. :(
Its still really hot and humid here too. I'm over it. This coming week is suppose to be worse! I love that sign about outside being 0 stars. and I hope you love the Kiss Quotient-it was one of my favorites!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I am so over summer. Sounds like you are, too. Ugh!
DeleteThe Kiss Quotient was so good! I just adored Stella and Michael. :)
We are supposed to be getting some warmer weather this week and I am hoping it does. I hope the move goes smoothly, I know what a pain it can be. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteMary my Sunday Roundup 33!
Still a little over a week until the move and I think I’m already over it. LOL
DeleteWe’ve asked sooo much and I feel like we’ve barely made a dent in it. Professional packers are sounding pretty good at this point. Haha!
Good luck with packing! Your library looks awesome- love that wrap around effect you had going- but it will be nice to have it all set up in your new place too. :) I hear you though- moving is no fun til it's done lolol.
ReplyDeleteIt's warming up here again too, I walked outside and it was like a wall of humidity. Big change from even yesterday.
Glad The Kiss Quotient is good. It looks fun. :)
Have a super week and stay cool!
Thanks Greg! The library looks so strange now!! I’m excited to get it set up again in the new house. Just over a week to go!
DeleteThe heat + the humidity = miserable. I’m so over it!
Hah love your totally random photo. So true - I'm pretty sure I have bug bites on my the bottom of MY FEET! They itch so much. I had some cooler weather, but it's picking back up to higher temps again so sigh. Sorry it's been really hot for you though! It's almost September!!!

Ugh, itchy bug bites are the worst. See, yet another reason I don’t go outside. LOL
DeleteI wish September meant cooler temps but here in FL that’s just not so. We’re in for another month in the 90’s for sure. Ack!
I hope your new place has space for all those books. Your library was so pretty! It was cold at the beginning of the week, but it’s back in the 90s now. I’m reading blogs because it’s too hot to sleep. Enjoy your new books.
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
I will miss my library, for sure! The IKEA bookcases are going with me, obviously, but the built-in unit will have to stay behind since it was custom-made for that space. *sobs*
DeleteOMG that random photo! YESSSSSS!
ReplyDeleteKaren @ For What It's Worth
LOL I knew another Floridian would understand that one! :)
DeleteOh so sad to see your library packed up. Hopefully it will be unpacked soon in your new home. So happy you are loving The Kiss Quotient.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I walk past the library I do a double-take. :( Can’t wait to get it set up in the new house!
DeleteRIP your shelves, but I can't wait to see your new place!
ReplyDeleteHave you finished The Kiss Quotient yet??
I know... such a pitiful sight. I can’t wait to get everything unpacked and made pretty in the new library.
DeleteFinished The Kiss Quotient and loved it! Stella and Michael were so precious together! 💜
It's supposed to be in the 90s here today and tomorrow, and I am not looking forward to it. I miss winter. LOL I see you are reading The Kiss Quotient. I hope you love it as much as I did!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
I am so ready for winter! Well, what passes for winter here in Florida. LOL
DeleteI loved The Kiss Quotient! Stella and Michael were so precious! :)
Wow, you are making great progress with the packing! I'm glad to see you're enjoying The Kiss Quotient too :)
ReplyDeleteWe packed so much and yet I feel like we’re barely making a dent. Gah!
