Hello dear readers! I hope this finds you all well and either happily reading, watching the Olympics (am I allowed to use the name of the event), blogging, and/or knitting on this lovely hot day. Can you believe its the end of July already?! I can and can't. I am tired of the brutally hot weather, as is everyone else I assume. I'm looking very much to Fall and not running my air conditioner. But as much as I enjoy the Fall, the summer flying by so quickly just blows my mind. I know we all say this every now and then, but seriously, where does the time go?
Anyway, on the reading front, I have several books going. First is The Stand for the Standalong. After I wrote the mid-way review post, about three days later the book just died for me. To the point that I was going to give up. But I didn't. I have skimmed along and have about 30 pages left to read.
Second I borrowed Catching Fire (#2 in the Hunger Games trilogy) from the library. I LOVE IT!!! I would stay home form work and read all day if I could. I should have never waited so long between Fire and Games, either. Fire does drop bits of info from Games but I had to sit and think to remember the details. I won't be waiting so long for Mockinjay I tell you now.
Third, I started Written in Ashes about a young girl named Hannah and her discoveries in the Great Library of Alexandria. Only about 40 pages in but quite good so far. Enjoying the descriptions of ancient Egypt, and Hannah is a sweet character so far.
I have a few posts to write for the blog, but otherwise all quiet on the blogging front. I am liking this easy does it blogging thing I have going on. Before I forget, anybody up for a Bleak House read-along? I'm thinking November to start and that's as far as I got. I'll keep you posted on the details.
On the home front, this weekend has been all about fussing over the puppy. Kona was spayed yesterday and we have providing lots of TLC. She was out of it last night from the pain meds, and today she has been sleeping most of the day, but her little eyes look back to normal, don't you think?
That's about it from me folks. It's a lazy Sunday here, and I'm glad. Hope you are enjoying yours :)

awwww....I hope Kona feels better. When I had Diego fixed I felt sooo bad for him. It'll pass soon and she will be back to her old self again.
And "wow" about those knitting games...geesh. I do crochet while watching but it's not olympic related in any way :P
Enjoy your Sunday!

I will keep you posted on Written in Ashes. �Definitely started out well, so that';s a good sign.
Take care and enjoy your week.

I hear you about the fall. We were 105 yesterday and just miserable. Elle was throwing fits all day and I'm positive it was because it was so damn hot outside (and in the house as we can only cool down to 78 inside). Hurry up cooler weather!!
I'm halfway through Catching Fire--started it Memorial Day weekend but put it down for The Stand and kind of forgot I was reading it! Glad you're liking it so much!

Read along�of IT? �When is that starting? �count me in for sure. �That's the next and last King�novel I�will read. �I have to stop by Fizzy Jill's actually. �Ok I'll come up with something for Bleak House.
Aw poor Elle and you guys too. �The weather is ridiculous this�year. �I knew we were in for it from the mild winter, but still. �My heart goes out Elle. �I feel her pain.

Kona still looks a little sad, give her an extra cuddle from us and feel free to send some of that heat over here.
Have a wonderful week my friend :)

I am almost finished Catching Fire and I just love it. �Especially the�part�where her wedding dress burns off and she is left dressed as a Mockingjay. �I was so excited on the subway that I think people moved over a seat. �I was�certainly�getting strange�looks. �Concerned I won't like Mockingjay either, but am keeping an open mind. �I may pick it up tomorrow at the library.
Have a�wonderful�week friend and warm thoughts your way!
