This Week- Summer Heat

Anyone else spending more time in the air conditioning this week? We’ve had record highs here in Cleveland. We actually had a little rain this morning with a possible quick storm later and that makes my plants very happy.

This is the first summer since Gage was 4 that he’s had no summer camps. He is starting a new school in the fall and we’re doing some prep work with tutoring in the mornings. But we’re making time for excursions and time with friends in the afternoons so it’s been a nice mix.

I haven’t done a weekly check in for quite awhile. I’ve been trying to post more about books I’ve really liked and books from my Top 100 lists.

Top 100 author Harlan Coben

Top 100 series Myron Bolitar by Harlan Coben

Top 100 favorite series Prey series by John Sandford

Top 100 book Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon

Women Who Won: 70 Extraordinary Women Who Reshaped Politics by Ros Ball review

The Sun Down Motel by Simone St. James review

On the big screen

The Garfield Movie, 2024 was a surprise pick by Gage. He never watched the cartoons or read the comics but when I let him pick the movie we’d take grandma to this week this was the one. It was cute. I laughed out loud quite a few times.

On the smaller screen

We watched the 3rd season of Bridgerton. I’m a Lady Whistledown fan so I was happy for it.

The Gentlemen, 2024, on Netflix was not exactly my genre of choice, but once started I found it quite addictive. I don’t know if there will be a season 2, but if there is, I’ll be there!

Project Runway, 20 All-Stars. I haven’t seen every season, mainly because I forget about them, but I had recorded these last fall and just realized it, lol. It was a fun binge. I didn’t think Tim Gunn could be replaced, but I like Christian and he brings his own flair and success to the show,

So, give me a book, show, or movie recommendation! I’ll pick one to try this week and report back 🙂
