Heat Wave…. but I am not complaining. I will melt over freezing any day. I cannot believe it is August already. The Royals start school on the 11th. Sophia will be in 1st grade and Clayton will attend afternoon preschool. I will be busy playing taxi in between work. We celebrated our youngest 27th birthday. We had a wonderful time. During the month of July I read/listened to 14 books and reached 121/200 for my Goodreads challenge and 75/100 for Audiobook Challenge. Elbow hugs! Stay Caffeinated.

Elbow hugs to you too! And it is wonderful to see time passing in school years always!!
In a couple of weeks, my younger one will be a sophomore at high school and a month after that, my older one will be heading to college as a freshman… time flies..
The title The Viscount Made Me Do It tempts!! I might end up reading it soon
Tyler H. Jolley
I can’t believe it’s August already too! Crazy. Hot here too! Hope this weather is nice for your knee!
ShootingStarsMag
Happy belated birthday to your youngest! It’s crazy that school is starting so soon for kids. My nieces and nephew don’t go back until the end of the month, but my youngest niece is going to school for the first time!!! I think she’ll love it, but I’m nervous for her too. hah
Raji
The summer does seem to be flying by so fast, but I’m enjoying the heat while it lasts since it’ll be freezing again here in no time at all! Thanks for featuring my post about greek mythology based books!
Lorna
I’ll take freezing over heat any day of the week. I hate summer! I’m glad you had a nice birthday for the 27 year old. How’s your leg doing?
Nise' (Under the Boardwalk)
You are doing great on your challenges. I will take heat over cold too! Hard to believe school is starting already. We begin on the 25th.
MarthaE
Our community schools start again on 8/10. I imagine playing taxi is a mixed blessing as a grandmom. I always enjoyed time in the car with my kids… short rides anyway.
Looks like you’re on track for your Goodreads goal.
Your new books look good. I like the Gilded cover.
Have a good week and Happy Reading!
Samantha
My students and I start on the 12th! I’m not ready. I ran into a former student today and we commiserated on only have a week left of summer break. Sigh.
sherry fundin
i agree with the heat. i just got out of swimming some laps in the pool. the water is perfect. easy to get in, but still cool enough to be refreshing. i don’t know where the time is going
Vi @Inkvotary
She will go to school already? Goodnes me, how time flies … Happy reading.
M. Ravenel
The month came way too fast. It seems like the kids are going back earlier this year. Glad you were able to get a lot of reading done! Hope you’re staying safe and hydrated.
Anne - Books of My Heart
You’re doing great on your challenges! I don’t know how you manage. I also can’t believe it is August.
Mary Kirkland
It’s been hot here too. My grandson starts 3rd grade this month.
A Voracious Reader
They’re getting so big!! Kyleigh will be in the 2nd grade and Boone starts Kindergarten. That just leaves Oliver at home. *sniffles* And then my daughter will start her program on the 16th. Maybe I should continue with one of my degrees. Not sure what I’d do with a BA in English or BS in Criminal Justice though.
Megan @ Bookstacks & Golden Moms
I am so getting in the mood for Christmas stories! I’m not ready for winter, but autumn coming means it’s time for Christmas books and movies 🙂
Sophie
How is it August already? And if yiu have a heat wave we have rain and cold. No summer at all. I hope we’ll get a great Fall 😉
Rachel
Time goes by so fast! Our grandson is starting first grade in a week, too! Stay cool, Kimberly!
Wendy Williams
It’s been cool here in Northern Arizona for most of July due to lots and lots and lots of rain! Not complaining at all. I can’t believe it’s time for school to start already. I hope the kids can have a somewhat normal year this year.
Jinjer
I’m the opposite. Give me cold, gray, dreary, wet weather over the heat any day. lol
Man…school starts so early now! “In my day…” we didn’t go back until Tuesday after Labor Day.
Have a great week!
Lori Caswell
Me too! I would take the heat over freezing all year long. I can’t believe school is starting so soon. This summer has flown by way too fast. I want to pump the brakes and slow everything down.
Sophia Rose
We were lucky and got a cool front come through after some sweltering heat. It blows my mind how time flies and wow, two more weeks until school and taxiing. Glad you had a lovely anniversary. Nicely done with your reading and listening knowing all you had going on.
I scored the Donna Grant one, too.
Have a great week, Kimberly!
Jessica @ a GREAT read
I am the complete opposite! I’d rather freeze than sweat because with freezing I can layer up and fight the cold. There’s no fighting heat. Only suffering. Lol.
Nice new reads! I read Gilded not too long ago. But I’m still trying to figure out if I read the whole book or if it was an extended sampler and they didn’t tell me because I’m still reeling over the ending! Lol! Hope you enjoy the new reads!
Here’s my StS
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower 🙂
S. J. Pajonas
School already!! Where has the summer gone? I agree. I would rather be hot than cold any day.
Lola
Sorry to hear you’re in the middle of a heath wave. Happy birthday for your daughter, I hope she had a great celebration! Sounds like you’re doing well with your reading challenges. I hope you have a great week!
Deb Nance at Readerbuzz
School will start soon for your grandkids.
Time certainly goes quickly.
Tessa
Gilded has a beautiful cover, doesn’t it? It’s hard to believe that school is starting back so soon. This summer has just flown by. Have a great week!
Tanya @ Girl Plus Books
Oh my goodness, we are so opposite, Kim! I would rather be cold than hot any day. I get so miserable when I’m hot. Lethargic and grouchy. lol Cold… eh, no big deal. 🙂
Linda @ (un)Conventional Bookworms
I can’t believe it’s August already, either! Where has the time gone? In just three weeks, it’s back to work for me, and school starts on the 30th in Geneva.
We celebrated two birthdays in July, my oldest daughter 26, and my youngest daughter 16.
Have a wonderful week ahead, big elbow hugs.
vvb
Happy August!
Jen at Introverted Reader
Ooh, you have Gilded! Awesome! I’ll be curious to know what you think!
I would rather be hot than cold too. I can’t think if I’m too cold!
Enjoy your week!
Flora
Happy August, Kimberly. We had a bit of a heatwave here in the UK during July but we’re back to normal services now! Lol!
Have a great week.
Victoria Hamel
I hope the start of the school year goes smoothly- the 11th is so soon! Have a great week!
Maureen @ Maureen’s Books
Time is flying by right? Crazy! Schools are just out for the summer over here.
Good luck with the heatwave.! It’s been very rainy over here unfortunately.
Have a great week and happy reading.
Lark @ The Bookwyrm's Hoard
It’s hard to believe your grands are that big already! Happy birthday to your youngest. And hopefully things cool down a bit where you are! It’s going to be cooler here this week — low 80s, which is a distinct improvement on 90s. I’m looking forward to it. Heat and I do NOT get along.
Your “link to one of my blog posts” widget is trying to link to comments, rather than posts, which is wierd. So i’ll try putting the link here: my Sunday Post.
Siran
Same here about the weather
Laurel-Rain Snow
I am also stunned at August being here already, too! I am looking forward to that book Apples Never Fall.
Enjoy your week and your books, and you had an amazing July.
Katherine
Happy birthday to your youngest! I hope the Royals have a great school year though I find it hard to believe that Sophia is going into 1st grade! The Liane Moriarty book is on my TBR. It looks so good. Have a great week!
Yvonne @ Socrates Book Reviews
I can’t believe it’s August already. You had a great reading month in July. I hope you have a great week!
Diana @ Book of Secrets
I’m looking forward to Liane Moriarty’s upcoming book! I hope the Royals have a great start to the new school year. We go back on the 12th.
Greg
Wow- August. It is hard to believe. Happy birthday to your youngest! It’s been a little muggy here too, but then today was beautiful. It’s been unseasonably mild for most of July here, which is weird.
Anyway- hope you have an excellent week!
