The Sunday Salon: It’s a Heatwave Everyone!

Sunday Salon

As I write this, Southern California is melting into a puddle of goo. It was 108 degrees on Friday, 111 degrees yesterday and today it is 112. Completely ridiculous, if you ask me. I cannot stand it when it’s this hot. Luckily, I haven’t had to go out but I feel for anyone who has to be outside in this heat.

Other than the heat the weekend has been lovely. I had the entire day to myself yesterday and I spent it reading and napping. What could be better?

What am I reading?

Yesterday I finished The Silent Wife by A.S.A Harrison. What a read! I am about 65% done with  The Slippage by Ben Greenman which is also good but a little more work. I am about to start Night Film by Marisha Pessl. I’ve flipped through the book and it looks a little different but I am really looking forward to it. I loved Special Topics in Calamity Physics so I have high hopes for her new one. 

What am I cooking?

We plan to grill burgers, devour wedge salads and indulge in some gelato. Yum!

What am I watching?

The Girl loves her movie weekends. We watched Kindergarten Cop  and Can’t Buy Me Love yesterday and right now we are watching Staying Alive (with hunky John Travolta and Cynthia Rhodes with her impossibly long legs).

What are you doing today?

Say Hello To Uncle Stevie!

Under the Dome Read-along

Guess what? A group of crazy, fun-lovin’ bloggers put this read-along together and if I had not read it earlier, I’d be the first in line to sign-up. Okay, others have already signed up so I would not have been first but you know what I mean.

Although I will not be reading the book again, I have made myself their unofficial cheerleader! And when the miniseries comes out this June, I plan to watch and discuss via Twitter using the hashtag #domealong.

If this sounds like a fun way to spend the summer, then head on over to Coffee and a Book Chick for details!
