Well, it’s starting to cool off to the 80s here. Unfortunately. It’s still dry as hell, and I know we need rain and snow bad, but I’m never ready to let go of the hot weather. The drought continues, and it’s especially harsh here in the San Joaquin Valley. At least 100 more wells dried up in my area within a few days, bringing it to about 700 and getting worse everyday. Not going to lie, it’s a little scary how bad it’s getting. Then we had a lovely (<—- sarcasm) dust storm.

I read Bright Side already, and whew, talk about a cryfest!
Just wanted to let you all know that Kiss the Sky and Hothouse Flower by Krista & Becca Ritchie are only $0.99 right now. The price won’t last long. If you are reading or plan to read their Addicted series, then you NEED to get these. Even though they are considered spin-off novels, they are actually part of the series and should be read with them. You can find the reading order HERE. Follow it!
Have a great week!
Wow that dust storm was crazy. Your weather is freaky. I sure hope it rains and soon. Nice haul. Not sure I can handle a cryfest although I read some heavy duty erotic fiction this week and said I wow never do that. I ended up really liking it. I blame Anna and Liz
lol – Liz and Anna are such a bad influence. Or would it be a good influence in this case? 😉
CD smartphone *would never
Whoa the dust storm is crazy! Never been in one of those before and think I’m good passing on it. Dang! That’s awful about the wells 🙁 I wish we could share some of the wet weather. We’ve had flash flooding here which is rather scary but better than no rain for so long. Hope it hits yall soon!
I know, just funnel some that water this way.
The storm looks pretty bad. Take care babe. Anyway, lovely covers ♥
Thanks Nyze!
Dust storms aren’t fun. We haven’t had one in about 5 years and I’m glad of that.
Nice haul this week they look like good reads. Have a great week.
Seems like we’re getting them more often here. Thanks Sharon.
I’m the opposite-I hate hot weather and love the cold winters where I can sit by the fire and read! I plan a big winter readathon this year! Enjoy your books!
Once it gets down in the 70s, it’s too cold for me. lol
Have you read Not a Drop to Drink…? o_o
I hope you’ll get some much needed rain soon. That is scary.
How was Big Driver?
No, and I’m kind of afraid to. They’ve already classified this area as reaching apocalyptic levels, so I really don’t want to read it yet. lol -sigh-
Well, I read Big Driver right before watching the movie, and I think the movie was slightly better. Not great, but good.
Oh wow, that is scary! We have city water, but several of our relatives and friends use a well. Hope you get some precipitation soon!
I bought the Becca & Krista Fitzpatrick books – what a bargain and we know it’s fantastic! We’ve had a dust storm before and it felt like the apocalypse, it was pretty scary. Fingers crossed you get some rain.
Wow. Dust storms are really freaky. Hope you get rain/snow soon. Happy reading.
Damn, that storm looks horrible! Just curious, do you have a yard? How is the grass faring? I would be nervous about that! There goes my produce bill, huh?
Cryfest??? I can’t even bring myself to read John Green. I’ll take your word for that book 🙂
I’ll have to do some work and see if I own those Fitzpatrick books already!! Thanks for the heads up 🙂
No one really has a yard anymore. It’s pretty brown. We’ll have to start doing desert landscaping like Arizona and NM.
Yeah, if you avoid John Green, then doing read Bright Side. I was caught unaware.
Looks like you’ve had a mostly good week. That dust storm was crazy! Enjoy your new books!
eap I don’t know I think I’ll take some rain and damp weather over drought or dust storm any day. Can get pretty expensive when your out of water 🙁
I thought Sweet Damage looked very interesting myself! Hope you enjoy it.
I am also a born and raised Californian…and we definitely have our issues…but we are more than that, right?I want to read Big Driver…and recorded the movie last night. Plan to watch it today.Enjoy your week…(And your blog wouldn’t take my link – TOO MANY URLS?)
I am posting on my Serendipity blog today.
We have our issues, but I love it here. 🙂
That’s weird. You should be able to add at least on link. I’ll have to check the spam settings.
Eww that is awful Christy! I do hope you guys get some moisture soon even if it is hard to say goodbye to the gorgeous weather!
I am happy you got Sweet Damage! I did too and am so excited for it. Did you read her Beautiful Malice? If not READ it, it will totally mess with your mind.
Whoa, I just went to investigate Beautiful Malice, and it’s $12 for the kindle. I guess I’ll wait.
Hope you get some rain soon! Dust storms sound really awful and all the wells drying up would definitely make me uneasy. Sweet Damage looks really good. I don’t think I’ve read any Rebecca James but that name is so familiar. Have a great week!
That dust storm is crazy scary. I would be scared out of my mind. I’m glad to see that you are okay. Sweet Damage is new to me. have a lovely weekend.

I hope you get rain soon. The dust storm sounds pretty awful.
Oh my god Christy that us beyond scary. I’ve never been in a dust storm (or close to one) but believe me, I do not fancy being in your positive. Also I still haven’t read Harder by Robin York (it keeps slipping my mind) but i’m so eager to hear your thoughts on it! Lovely post! Happy Sunday!
I’d sure like to know when we’re going to get some kind of weather control technology. Hey, most everything else in the Star Trek Universe is coming true. Where is that and the end of disease, war and poverty? That would be nice. Oh! And replicators and transporters. I’d take replicators first though since I hate to cook. 😀
LOL! That’s what I’m sayin’
Yup it was the 90s here forever. Finally in the 80s. I complain but once it gets cold I’ll just start complaining about it being cold. LOL I would love for the weather to always be in the 70s. I’ve been wanting to read Dissonance! Happy reading and thanks for stopping by!
That heat and drought sounds just awful. I was hearing about it on NPR – people’s private wells drying up and they don’t have the money to drill it deeper. And then a dust storm on top? I just hope California gets some rain soon – the good, slow, steady kind.
Meanwhile, I hope you have a great reading week!
Wow, that’s crazy about the dust storm!! I can’t handle the heat, so I think I’d go crazy if I was living where you are. haha
It’s been pretty dry here on the Gulf Coast too. Didn’t have any hurricanes again this year so I don’t mind.LOL
I can’t believe I missed Big Driver. I watched the movie and loved it. Can only imagine how it reads.
Damn it, Kiss the Sky and the other one wasn’t cheap anymore. Missed the deal!!!
The rain has returned here to Oregon, I wish we could send some down to you. I hope you get relief very soon, that is scary! How was the SK Story?
I snapped up the Calloway sister books while on holidays. DID NOT want to miss out.
Droughts are really awful! I hope you all get some rain soon.
Have a great week! (whats left of it *wink*)
