Lovely photo of that campfire! I totally understand about not being able to visit blogs. The same happened to me last week and I so miss visiting with other bloggers!<br />The Dry sounds intriguing! I love how you and your family share your love of reading! Take good care!<br />Miaisminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07657955150576729566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-83919807068454962862020-09-19T14:38:43.739-04:002020-09-19T14:38:43.739-04:00I'm very behind on my blog visits this week as...I'm very behind on my blog visits this week as well (obviously!) I like the idea of having a reading theme but I tend to be too scatter-shot in my reading to stick to them much. I love how your whole family sees reading as something to do individually but also as a group.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18005286623073064886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-49964125255753411872020-09-16T12:27:41.557-04:002020-09-16T12:27:41.557-04:00That's great, Helen!!

We have had many backyard dinner parties this summer and as fall settles in, I hate the idea of isolation again. <br />Thanks so much for hosting Big Book Challenge again this year.

I never would have read The Book of Kings otherwise, and my sister had recommended it so highly that I've felt guilty for years about not reading the copy she lent me.

I didn't appreciate them much when I had to go into "work" every Monday, but since I teach from home, I definitely enjoy kickstarting the week, wrapping up the previous week, etc. It seems like a quieter day than the rest for that reason (and I feel so accomplished). Love that campfire and look forward to having some of our own, now that we're getting settled in to the new house. I've only read from Anthony Horowitz middle grade books, so I'd love to try someone else from him like Magpie Murders (especially since it's received so much "buzz" as you way -- perfect time of year, too). Have a great week, Sue!2Shaye ♪♫https://www.blogger.com/profile/10473467039770299975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-88355713891494786962020-09-14T20:28:41.425-04:002020-09-14T20:28:41.425-04:00I’m glad you got to hang out with friends!

It's Tuesday here now!! I hope the cooler weather will stay with you, the humid weather is so energy sapping. That sounds like a very sensible way to get together with friends. Hope you enjoy The Dry, I read very little thriller kind of genres but I did see a lot about this book too. All the best for a great week.Kathryn Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08581790816548017087noreply@blogger.com
