Life
Still hot.
Still humid.
Still whining about it.
Reading
I’m beta reading so I haven’t had time to read anything for fun but I did finish Free Fall by Emma Barry & Genevieve Turner last week and will have a review up later this month. (a few nitpicks but still enjoyed overall)
Watching
Santa Clarita Diet S2 – Netflix
This show is a fun take on zombies, realtionships and mid-life crisis. It’s over the top and a hoot.
*warning: it’s pretty graphic as far as blood and guts so not for the squemish
Listening to
LSD (Labrinth, Sia, Diplo) – Genius
* And I’m going to see Janelle Monae this weekend!!!!!
Podcasts
I loved host Lillian Cunningham’s first podcast – Presidential and she’s back with Constitutional:
As a follow-up to the popular Washington Post podcast “Presidential,” reporter Lillian Cunningham returns with this series exploring the Constitution and the people who framed and reframed it — revolutionaries, abolitionists, suffragists, teetotalers, protesters, justices, presidents – in the ongoing struggle to form a more perfect union across a vast and diverse land.”

I loved this creative post by Brooke and Tay over at Brooke Reports!
They made cupcakes based on their favorite books. Very cool girls!
Have a great weekend everyone!!!
Hit me up with you recommendations – books, TV, movies, music, or anything you’re loving...in the comments!
You're beta-reading again! Not so long since I last did, and I already miss it LOL. I mean, it's work in a way, but SO rewarding.
ReplyDeleteYes! It's time consuming - I don't do beta reading fast lol - but fun.
DeleteIt's so humid here, it is making me remember what a woman in North Carolina told me. She said, "We don't breathe the air here, we wear it." Yeah, it's like that here right now. I had no idea I moved to a rain forest, but those are the current conditions in Jersey.
ReplyDeleteI can *almost* handle hot. But hot AND humid. No. Nope. NOPE.
DeleteSo humid!! I hate it so much. I need to try Santa Clarita Diet.
ReplyDeleteIt's a gross show! lol but fun.
DeleteYou've got me curious about the Santa Clarita Diet. I had no idea it had zombies...lol
ReplyDeleteYes. The wife becomes a zombie and the family has to find a way to keep it quiet, find a cure & ...feed her lol
DeleteIt's been hot and humid here too and I've also been complaining about it. lol
ReplyDeleteYou can't even breathe in it. UGH
DeleteSanta Clarita is awesome!
ReplyDeleteOh and it is still bloody hot
SO over the top bloody but fun!
DeleteIt's legit fall over here so maybe you should come visit me! Janelle Monae sounds like it will be really fun, lots of colors and special effects!
ReplyDeleteHer concert was a blast!!! Not many special effects but she's an incredible entertainer - costume changes, a fun set, dancers. It was awesome!
DeleteIt actually has gotten nicer here, less hot and humid. I hope yours goes away a bit... although I know summer in Florida, it's probably not going to for a while. :(
ReplyDeleteI'll bet that podcast is super interesting! I haven't seen Santa Clarita Diet but I've heard it's a trip!
Jealous! Yeah - it's not going anywhere until maybe October here. We have a pool but had t have work done on our enclosure so we haven't' been able to use it for weeks.
DeleteAnd Santa Clarita is WAY over the top bloody fun!
DeleteI've been so on the fence about Santa Clarita Diet but it seems like everyone loves it! Maybe I'll have to give it a shot...
ReplyDeleteAs long as you can handle gore I say watch it! Especially if you need escapist fun.
DeleteI've been complaining about the heat as well! Even the pools are too hot. The last time we went the water was 85 degrees. It felt like a warm bath on a hot day surrounded by other people--yuck. I keep thinking it will rain or a cold front will come through, but no... it's really not helping our garden.
ReplyDeleteSanta Clarita is a show I've been thinking about starting! <3
𑁋 Lindsi @ Do You Dog-ear?
We've had lots of rain this summer which in some ways just makes it steamier after because it's still hot. We have a pool but haven't been able to go in because we're having maintenance done in the enclosure.
DeleteCan you handle gore?? It's (SCD) pretty bloody and yucky but I love it!
Thanks for the cupcake post love, wifey!
ReplyDeleteAlso, Santa Clarita is EVERYTHING! I love the husband he is so hilarous! My only complaint is i need season 3 now!
I used to have such a crush on him years ago :-) I love him.
DeleteSanta Clarita Diet is so messed up but it's hilarious. I learned read quick that it's not sit on the couch and snack of food while watching it kind of show though. HaHa
ReplyDeleteIt's SOOOOO over the top but it works.
DeleteBut definitely not for the squeamish. I can handle quite a bit of gore and even I go EWWW sometimes watching this lol
I feel you on the humidity. And the daily dose of thunder showers just makes it worse. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteFree Fall sounds interesting. Unique time period that I don’t see covered a lot, and I’ve never read a book that featured an astronaut.
Cupcakes based on books... love it! :)
I have also been dreading the humidity. I used to beta read but quit after a while because I wanted to get back to reading books I was excited for.
ReplyDeleteTori @ In Tori Lex
Yay Santa Clarita Diet S2!
ReplyDeleteI've only watched the first couple episodes of Season 2 for Santa Clarita Diet, so I need to get on it. I do really love the show though. Too funny! The neighbor kid cracks me up.

I have to admit that I love the summer and heat but I understand it isn't for everyone! I love the song Genius. Happy you're digging it too ^.^
