I actually started my book club - it really consists of my friends, and a few years ago I was like, we all like reading, lets have a book club! It is really a lot of fun, and gives us an excuse to hang out at least once a month.

We visited D.C. this weekend and I was glad to spend a few hours in one of the Smithsonian museums and take advantage of the air conditioning! <br /><br />Whether you read the book or not, your book club sounds lovely.

We haven't had any overwhelming heat here which is fine with me.

It seems we will be housebound for a while, all holed up in the air conditioning. :)Erin @ Quixotic Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10528275471104279266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525935409718931244.post-86977825725716400042016-07-18T06:14:13.841-07:002016-07-18T06:14:13.841-07:00San Diego is the best.

Lol. <br /><br />Ok, I must be behind in Wayward Pines. Lol. I was wondering!Hmm, I am interested in these British shows! <br /><br />Oh my gosh the heat really did sneak up on us! I think Wyatt was ok since I had him drink water while we were walking, but my mom didn't have any, I don't think. Those moms. Lol. <br /><br />I am so curious as to what you will think of Mist and Fury!!! I loved it!! But I can see how people have a preference. <br /><br />The book we read was Homeboy by Seth Morgan. It was just a little too much for me. :)Erin @ Quixotic Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10528275471104279266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525935409718931244.post-24002557519335799732016-07-18T06:10:50.682-07:002016-07-18T06:10:50.682-07:00Thanks!

I like summer but not when it is this hot. I like to actually go outside without melting to the pavement. Lol. <br /><br />The tour still has another two weeks or so if you still want to watch it. Lol. It blows my mind that these men race for an entire month! <br /><br />Wayward Pines has definitely been getting better!!! We are a little behind, but the last episode we watched, holy crap! The moment I had been waiting for. Lol. Maybe we are caught up? Theo has grown on me. I think his character is used to be a take charge doctor- now he is a take charge guy in a world run by children. At first, I wasn't thrilled with him, I missed Ethan, but Theo is a good replacement. Arlene - I agree, not as fun weird. More - crazy weird. Not in a good way. I am getting excited about this series again, minus the weird kid pregnancy stuff. That really bothers me.

I will have to read that second installment soon so I don't forget the original plot; the first was terrific. I like the looks of these lighthearted books you have up next.

I don't watch The Tour, hardly watched any tv, but finished up Wayward Pines and am in season two of The Americans. My SIL just suggested a whole laundry list of British shows she watches on Netflix, so I have to start any of them when I'm less busy. Both of them recommended The Fall, based in Belfast, and starring the former star of X-Files Gillian Anderson. Maybe I'll watch that when granddaughter goes home, as it has violence.<br /><br />Be careful in that heat-- it'll sneak up on you! I have A Court of Mist and Fury on my kindle to read coming up in August. I really enjoyed the first in that series. <br />By the way, what was the title of the book club choice that no one read?

Ugh here come the dog days of summer... :) <br /><br />I sadly did not see anything of the Tour. And Wayward Pines has been getting better- is it just me? Although I hate Jason. I've seen some reviewers not like Theo but I'm okay with him. Arlene they try to make weird but she's not as fun weird as last time? And now Margaret is loose- I don't know where they're going but I'm actually liking this series.
