There‘s a rare rain storm at home but I‘m 500 miles away waiting on a snowstorm this afternoon. I‘m taking advantage of a few quiet minutes to start on this library grab.

Battling a sinus infection so I‘m up early, have taken my medicine, and I‘m trying to relax long enough to get through a portion of this book, and a bigger portion of the Girl Scout cookies 😲

EvieBee Oh no, hope you feel better! But your “medicine” sounds perfect. 🍪 6y
BeckaroniAndCheese @EvieBee thanks! It really was the perfect medicine 😛 6y

Loved the elephant facts peppered throughout but boy, I never saw that twist coming! I thought I had it all figured out until the last few chapters. Thumbs up for this one. 👍🏻

Hump day = hard time getting started this morning. Maybe a few chapters will give me the energy to get dressed and get to work. ☕️📖

Buechersuechtling It‘s funny that you‘re one of the many people that seem to find Wednesday to be „the hardest day“ of the week. For me it has always been getting up on a Thursday. Because of this„the-work-of-the-week-is-almost-done-but-not-quite-although-I-definitely-could-use-a-rest“-feeling. 5y

We've traveled over 2,400 miles in the last few days. On the home stretch now back to warmer temps and ocean views. Having someone to share the driving responsibility has allowed me the chance to dive into my first book of 2018. I can't wait to get home and get some laundry started!

The move is over, the boxes are far from done being unpacked, but it's time to get back to my TBR stack.

umbrellagirl You mean it isn‘t just a video game 🤣 6y
BeckaroniAndCheese @umbrellagirl Nope 😉I'm only a few pages in but I think it's going to be a good one. I have family that has wagon wheel ruts on their property so it's one that hits close to home. Can't wait to dive into this one in earnest this weekend. 6y
umbrellagirl Sounds interesting. My US family plonked themselves down in PA and never left. 6y
BeckaroniAndCheese @umbrellagirl That's a good place to be! Mine did not - some joined the Mormon Trail, some headed to Southern California during the Civil War to fight, and some ended their journey in German settlements in the Midwest. We have some of their journals and even a glass pitcher that crossed the country in a covered wagon. People are resilient. 6y

Wow 😳 What a beginning. I'm looking forward to another day of air travel to get through this psycho story.

bookloo I have this and loved it! The reviews for it aren‘t good, but I honestly thought it was a terrific thriller. ☺️💜 6y
BeckaroniAndCheese @bookloo I really enjoyed it too! I try not to read the reviews because I don't want to skew my own opinion. 😊 6y

Yesterday's view. This book is about an epic storm and it got under my skin. It didn't help that I'm staying in the middle of a walnut orchard and it was raining cats and dogs last night. I needed a good freak out last night 😬⛈☔️

Not able to read right this second but found the cutest bookish park here. After meetings end, this is where you'll find me.

DGRachel Are you in Charlotte? 7y
BeckaroniAndCheese @DGRachel I am! Here for a few days for a convention. 7y
DGRachel I thought I recognized the Duke Energy building. I love that park, too. My office is closer to a different park, and I never manage to walk over to that one anymore. Enjoy your convention! 7y
BeckaroniAndCheese @DGRachel Thanks! And I hope you find yourself back at this park again soon. It's lovely. 🍃🌷 7y

It's stupid muggy and hot in San Diego this week. Without air conditioning, most of us don't know how to deal with "real" summer weather. My goal today is not to sweat my ankles off, and hopefully find a cool place to read after work and other errands.

So I know the ending will be shocking from seeing all of your reviews. BUT! Was anyone else as aggravated as I am early on in the book about the choices these characters are making?!? Every character knows it's a train wreck but they keep on. Grrr
