I need to become the opposite of a snow bird. I just can't stand the heat. Almost 100 degrees today. I've asked Steve to get the swamp AC going in the bedroom for tonight because the fans are just not cutting it.
I'm currently reading THE ICE CRADLE by Mary Ann Winkowski. This is 2nd of 2 in series featuring Anza O'Malley, a ghost whisperer and book binder. Here is a summary:
February 1907, Block Island. Residents of this tiny Rhode Island community awaken to a scene of tragedy: During a midnight blizzard, a New York–bound steamer carrying 157 passengers has been destroyed at sea. Volunteers rush to the beach to organize a search-and-rescue effort—but for most of the passengers, hope is already lost. A century later, residents of the island are busy preparing for the summer season and debating the merits of a proposed wind farm near the beach. No one expects that those long-forgotten passengers may have something to say about the project, but the restless spirits are furious that their final resting place may be disturbed—and turn to Anza to help them protect it. If spirit-world preservationists aren’t enough, Anza also has to face the uncomfortable possibility that her five-year-old son, Henry, has inherited her gift. And then there’s that handsome fisherman whose charms are proving difficult to ignore.
It was published in 2010 and has 304 pages. This is on my Kindle.
We went to see the Harry Potter movie yesterday afternoon. Steve doesn't usually like matinees but I think the thought of an airconditioned movie theatre was the draw. I truly don't like 3D but that was the showing at the time and we were in the "Big D" theatre at Shiloh. The screen was very big. The movie was excellent. It is a big book to adapt to the screen so there were some moments that I felt didn't get their due but over all satisfying.
Next up in the movies is Captain America and then Cowboys & Aliens. There was a preview for the second Sherlock Holmes movie starring Robert Downing Jr coming in December. Brilliant.
Hopefully a little reading before bed and hopefully some good sleep.
Much love,
