I’ve been tolerant of the temperature drop … chilly mornings and highs in mid-80s I can handle. But now it’s dropping to the 60s-70s. I’m not thrilled at all. I’m so dreading the coming months. I want to go with my grandparents to Arizona for the winter!
I’m bummed because my new computer was supposed to be here days ago, but there was a cargo train derailment – no injuries – that caused a delay. So UPS was holding it hostage. I hope it gets here soon, because I want to take a sledgehammer to my current one.
Halloween is on Thursday! Anyone doing anything fun? We like to go to Hobb’s Grove in Sanger, CA at sometime this week. It’s a good time!

Hope you all had a great week!
I hope you loved Catching Jordan!! and I hope your new computer comes soon.
It was 27 this morning..brrrr! I cannot wait to hear your thoughts on I am Malala. Hope you get your pc soon and have fun with the sledgehammer!
I am NOT looking forward to 20-30 degree nights and freezing my ass of in the morning. Serious suckage.
Great haul! I have The Distance Between Us and I so want to read it soon. I think Catching Jordan looks cute, I love sporty YA books. Have a great week!
Catching Jordan and Stealing Parker were both great reads. And super quick!
I really want to read Catching Jordan and the rest of the series. It looks so good. I hope you enjoy everything. 🙂
You should. Those books are so addicting!
It’s going to be +20C today. I’ve no clue what it is in F? And I’m planning to cut my pumpkin and to put up a scarecrow on the field for the Halloween. Hope you enjoy all your reads, Christy! Catching Jordan was really good, wasn’t it?
I think that would be in the 60s. I want to make a scary scarecrow!
Catching Jordan was great!
The kids are doing their pumpkins today. Should be interesting. 😀 Hope your computer comes soon!
My son is 16 and could care less about carving pumpkins. 🙁 But he does share my love of scaring people. 🙂
I completely sympathise with your computer situation. Mine switched off for no reason last night and I spent hours trying to work out what went wrong. I gave up and this morning it started with no problems. I’m not quite at sledgehammer mode but give me time.
A girl quarterback & captain sounds interesting. Here’s my Sunday Post
lol – I wish I would’ve caved for a new one before this one started peeving me off so much.
I am desperately wanting to read “The Distance Between Us”, like really! I have heard it was really good!
I’ve wanted to read it for so long, but never got around to it when it came out. I’m sure it’ll be good. 🙂
I really hope your computer will be there soon. Also I’m so glad we still have lovely weather as winter is coming and I’m not feeling excited. I need to read The Distance Between Us. Soon I hope! Great post 🙂
It’s getting darn chilly here…be happy youaren’t in Jersey! lol Have a great week!
I couldn’t live where it gets too cold. A week up in the mountains is the extent of my cold weather tolerance.
Your blood has thinned, my dear! Silly Californian! Put a damn sweater on! 😀 (I remember complaining about the chilly nights, too, when I lived in SD)
Are you going to read the second I Hunt Killers book? I’ve heard so many fantastic things about the first book and it’s on the list of books for reluctant readers so it’s a go to for me for boys who have no clue what to read (teens).
Have a great week girlie!! So glad you’re feeling better and sounding more relaxed!!!
Damn straight it has. I hate wearing a lot of clothes – tank tops are my preferred form of wear. lol.
Yeah, I’m definitely going to read GAME. I could see some parents having issues with it for younger teens though, because it does get pretty gritty and a bit explicit for YA. It’s one of those books I wouldn’t recommend to just any teen … at least the younger ones.
Yup, feeling much better.
I think I’ll probably be reading Crash into You. I can’t wait to pick it up!
I think I’ll probably be reading Crash into You. I can’t wait to pick it up! Catching Jordan is another one that I need to get around to. I’ve heard nothing but good things about it, so I think it’s probably about time. 😉 I hope you like The Distance Between Us! It wasn’t perfect for me, but I had a lot of fun with it.
Enjoy! Have a nice week.
Catching Jordan and Stealing Parker were very addictive reads.
Yay! You got Distance Between Us 🙂 Hope you like it!
Oh how frustrating about your new computer. I have Malala’s book on my wishlist, was it good?
Yes, I found I Am Malala very interesting.
Nothing more frustrating than a less than optimal computer! Ugh. I hope you’ll get your soon. My six-year-old is sadly, terrified of this holiday so he’s not so enthused. My 12-year-old is well, she’s at that pre-teen age so she thinks EVERYTHING is beyond her coolness. Lol.
I really loved The Distance Between Us, I hope you’ll like it. I’m interested to read your thoughts on I Am Malala.
Anyway, have a great week, Christy!
Awe, well that sucks about your computer. I hope it gets there soon. The wait is always torture. Enjoy the new books. I still haven’t read Catching Jordan. 🙁

So do I. Stupid trains. 😉
I have Catching Jordan and Stealing Parker and now just need time to read them!
Oh, you need to read them soon. They are super quick reads, and I don’t consider myself a fast reader. Plus, they are addicting!
I love the cooler weather 🙂 Enjoy your reading and have a great week!
AAhhhh suck it up. Your weather is wimpy! I am seeing that Malala book around a lot. I am curious but I need to be in the right mood!
It’s starting to drop here too…though it did raise a bit because it decided to rain and delay my Halloween decorations. It’s at a high of 60’s right now and a low of mid-40’s and I want summer back.
Hope you love Catching Jordan — it’s one of my favorites!
Ooh hope you love Catching Jordan and The Distance Between Us, I really loved them both! Happy reading 🙂
