A deeply unnecessary library visit, but they had some good stuff 😁📚
I'm 🎵Sitting in an English garden, waiting for the sun🎵, which has actually arrived with a vengeance 🌞 (I know 26⁰C is chilly for some Littens, but I'm melting! 🥵) a Beatles playlist, gourmet food and drink (😒🍜🥤), and this stack to browse through.
I've heard some therapist horror stories from my own clients, so hoping I'm not making an appearance in the tagged! 😬

julesG It's September for crying out loud! Why does it have to be above 24°C again? It's warm here in my part of Germany, too. 8mo
Bookwomble @julesG The forecast yesterday was that today could be the hottest day of the year in Britain, getting over 32.2⁰C in parts. If so, it will only be the third recorded time September has had the hottest day. This part of the apocalypse is ok in my area, quite nice, actually, but I'm worried about the approaching End Times. 🔥🌡️🔥 Still, you've gotta keep smilin' 🫠 8mo
julesG Let's hope the Angel and the Demon manage to stear the Antichrist in the right direction. (yes, I just re-watched Good Omens) 8mo

Dilara We (Western France) hit 36° yesterday, and we're expecting top temperatures between 33° & 35° every day until Monday. That's 12° over the average. And it hardly drops under 20° at night 😕. Hottest September on record. @julesG The Good Omen mention made me smile 😁 8mo
julesG @Dilara Friends are camping near Paris and said it was hot. I cannot imagine temperatures over 30°C in September, but I imagine we will have to get used to it. 😬 8mo
Bookwomble @julesG I've not read/watched Good Omens, but I'll ask Mrs B to explain as she has 😊 8mo
julesG I have no words. You should read it. It's a classic. It should be part of the school syllabus. 😁 8mo
dabbe Going to be 41 degrees C here today and as high as 43 by the weekend. 🔥
Some autumn so far. #acrossthepond

Bookwomble @julesG I have mental blocks for both Gaiman and Pratchett - on paper I should love them both, but I've never felt the urge to read either of them (apart from a short story about David Bowie that NG wrote). I've no reasonable explanation 🤷🏻‍♂️😏 8mo
Bookwomble @dabbe How do you survive? 🥵 8mo
Bookwomble A bit late to add this, as most people I interact with have already ❤️ this post, but the horror stories I was told weren't about me - did that need clarification? 🤷🏻‍♂️ Just in case! 😏 8mo
dabbe @Bookwomble I'm lucky enough to have an air conditioner. I stay inside, have the ac on, plus a fan blowing directly on me. I pretty much don't go out of doors until mid-October unless I absolutely have to. 😃 8mo
Bookwomble Ah, a @dabbe biome! 🥶😄 8mo
The_Book_Ninja My favourite Beatles song is the last one they ever recorded together. I‘ll let you google if you don‘t know already. I think that would have been the next, exciting phase of their sound. Also I‘m behind Litsy reviews as I‘m in San Diego which isn‘t as hot as UK I‘m lead to believe🥵 8mo
Bookwomble @The_Book_Ninja Well, I did have to search for it! I knew which album it would be on, but not the specific track - good pub quiz info 😊 I hope you're enjoying San Diego - they have bookshops, right? And probably air conditioned 🌬️😎 8mo
The_Book_Ninja @Bookwomble Well my better half is keen on visiting a thrift store so I‘m about to go down town in the hope that there‘s something a little more sexy than a Barns and Noble😉 8mo
Bookwomble @The_Book_Ninja Happy book hunting! 😊 8mo

Mehso-so

Candlish‘s novel earns a so-so because while the mystery itself was intriguing, the story dragged in areas that created a meandering plot. I loved the twists. I loved the mystery, it‘s one that I haven‘t read before and it pulled me in. The switching narrative allowed for additional information but felt like the story was being repeated instead of moving forward.
