Last day of vacation. I didn’t read much and aside from a blitz kit to send out, I really stayed away from my phone & laptop. This week the temps were in the upper 90s and lower 100s with unbearable humidity that pushed the feels like 117+. Thankfully, we went away for a few days and were able to crank the hotel AC, while exploring air conditioned museums. We had a good time, but now it’s time for work and grandchildren. The Royals return to school on August 10th, so we are going to enjoy the last days of summer. My youngest turns 29 this week. How did this happen? Stay Caffeinated.

Glad you had a relaxing vacation. I’m on mine now. 🙂 Summer does seem to be winding down. Enjoy your last days before school. Happy Reading!

Glad you had a good vacation and found a way to beat the ungodly heat!
Sophia Rose
Whew, yeah, you had a cooker out there in Nebraska. Glad you found some cooled off museums and the A/C working in the hotel. Man, Aug 10th. They start so much earlier than the kids around here.
Enjoy your week, Kimberly!
Meezan
I remember when you wrote about how they just got out of school for the summer. Time really flies! A/C is one of my favorite inventions. Stay cool and have a great week! 🙂
Anne - Books of My Heart
I’m so glad you had a chance to relax and have a nice vacation. But the next time with family and work will be good too. Hopefully it will be cooler!

Time flies so fast!! I’m sorry your vacation ended. The temps here in Italy are weird too. hopefully not for long. Have a great Sunday!

Time flies by too fast. It sounds like a nice vacation, I’ve been wanting to do a museum trip soon.

I’m glad you were able to escape the heat a little. Enjoy the last week of your vacation.
Wishing you a great reading week
Lisa Mandina (Lisa Loves Literature)
Wow, the kids start back to school August 10th? Fortunately our students don’t start back till the 21st I think, even though I go back this week. We had the horrible heat here too. Hope you have a good week!
Jennifer | Book Den
I hope you are enjoying your vacation and the last days of summer!
Jodie
It’s interesting to see the wide variety of school years. Our school year just ended with the last day of June so the students don’t go back until the day after Labour Day. The temperatures must be challenging. Enjoy your new arrivals and have a wonderful week ahead.
Jessica @ a GREAT read
Yeah our temps have been outrageous as well! Supposedly, Tuesday is going to have a very low high and I am kinds of excited for that even though it’s at the beginning of the week and I won’t be going anywhere then! Lol! Glad you enjoyed the last of your vacation! I haven’t gone to a museum in ages! I do like learning about different things, probably more art museums than anything!
Nice new reads! Those are all new to me ones! I hope you enjoy each and every one of them!
Here’s my StS
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower 🙂
Aj @ Read All The Things!
I hope the vacation was fun in spite of the heat. Enjoy the last few days of summer. 🙂
Juli @A Universe in Words
The temperature majorly dropped here this week which was lovely but the transition was a little rough on my body, not gonna lie! I hope you enjoyed your holiday and I’m all for disconnecting from the online world! I hope you have a good return to work 🙂
Juli @ A Universe in Words
Tanya @ Girl Plus Books
Glad you were able to disconnect and really enjoy vacation – and get away from that heat! It’s been in the low 90’s here and I’ve been thankful for the break from the more extreme temps!
Rachel @Waves of Fiction
I can see why you’d want to take advantage of the A/C. Nice to hear you were able to get away for a few days. I have All is Not Forgiven too. Hope we both love it. I enjoyed Gone Tonight and will have my review up this week too. Hope you enjoyed it as well!
Lark @ The Bookwyrm's Hoard
I’m glad you enjoyed your vacation despite the weather! The heat and humidity hit us here as well. The air felt thick and heavy, and the heat index was well over 100, close to 110 for a day. Thank goodness, a sort-of-cool-front rolled through this evening. It’s not supposed to get above 85 all week, but still humid, so the heat index will be in the 90s. But that’s better than high 100s.
My only child is a similar age to your youngest. Hard to believe. Where did the time go?
Have a good week, and stay cool as much as you can!
Jen at Introverted Reader
Happy birthday to your daughter! Have a good time enjoying the last bit of summer with The Royals!
La La in the Library
Yay for some rest and relaxation, and AC! ⛅
I have The Invisible Hour to read, too. I hope we love it. 📙
Have a wonderful new week, and last bit of summer break with The Royals. ☀
Maree
Ooof, that humidity does not sound like fun. I hope it cools down, and you have a great week 🙂
LORI CASWELL
No! Summer just can’t be ending. I have been enjoying the hot and am nowhere ready for that to end. My grands don’t start back to school for a few more weeks and I hope we get to do something fun before then.
Have a fun week and stay cool!
Taylor @ Taylor Fenner’s Bookish World
The tech break must have been nice! I can’t seem to keep my hands off my phone lately, I definitely should take a break. Have a great week!
Yvonne @ Socrates Book Reviews
Sounds like you had a nice vacay. Your temps are even higher than ours. I hope it cools off soon. Have a great week!
Laurel-Rain Snow
It has been very hot here, too, so I’m happy for the AC. Enjoy your time off before school starts again.
Greg
