It's sweltering out there, and will probably stay that way through Sunday.

Even with the AC, the air is thick with humidity. I wasn't thrilled with the last two books I read, but I've started Instructions For a Heatwave by Maggie O'Farrell and I think this will be a good one...and appropriate for the current weather!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00305099786659577370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141954207305878743.post-36844894334258587272021-08-11T08:27:01.446-04:002021-08-11T08:27:01.446-04:00Not knitting much because it is so stinking HOT! B...Not knitting much because it is so stinking HOT! But I have been reading, and I have already told you about Orchard by Peter Heller. I am now reading Winter by Rick Bass, and I am enjoying his account of his adventure of living through the winter in Montana with no electricity. It helps in enduring the heat to read about the extremely cold temps and a lot of snow this time of year. I am not sure I could read Empire of Pain. The Sacklers are going to get away with it with their billions intact. Such injustice! Your HH looks great, Bonny.becksterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02147945810663254093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141954207305878743.post-69322744248392538082021-08-11T08:15:11.894-04:002021-08-11T08:15:11.894-04:00Oh that pop of red is going to be gorgeous on your...Oh that pop of red is going to be gorgeous on your latest Hitchhiker.

I'm knitting a sweater with a unique construction, and I think I'm going to like it, but - as usual - I'm struggling with row gauge (and on this one, it matters). So . . . we'll see. ;-) And Count the Ways sounds really good! (Although I'm in one of those states where ALL my library holds arrived in the same week! An abundance of riches. . . ) Kymhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01332895223302876006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141954207305878743.post-20436842166305441722021-08-11T07:52:01.550-04:002021-08-11T07:52:01.550-04:00Sleeves... my making is all about sleeves! :) But ...Sleeves... my making is all about sleeves! :) But I think that red yarn will be the perfect addition to this gorgeous Hitchhiker! <br /><br />And I have moved up on the waitlist for The Empire of Pain!

I think it will be a fantastic pop on the HH.<br /><br />Two five-star reads in a week is excellent! I'm still working my way through The Rose Code and just got a notification from the library this morning that one of my holds is ready for me, so I will likely be starting Home Fire today.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05434256661615289001noreply@blogger.com
