What a week. Is everyone melting yet? There may be a heat wave throughout the US, but it’s business as usual in my area. A nice 99º. 😀
It was lovely at the beach. I don’t like posting pictures on here, but I love this one. My son is down there.

I about pissed myself (not really, I have excellent bladder control) when I saw Bad Boy on NetGalley. It’s one of my top three most anticipated books of 2016. The rest I’m also looking forward to.
Purchased:
Deals and freebies of wishlist books make me happy!
Watching
Time to put on my WW underwear! I’m so excited!
I can’t wait for King Arthur. I love Guy Richie’s movies!
Nice pic! The beach is a good place to be… it was like 95 here today and muggy. I can’t really complain though, sounds like you have a lot of 90’s there…
I just watched those trailers earlier. 🙂 Wonder Woman looks great! Can’t wait, she’s going to rock in that role. Not as sure about the Arthur one, it looks a bit stylized or something… not sure what i don’t like but something seems off. Maybe it’ll be good tho….
Guy Ritche’s movies are always a little different. I love his style so much! I could watch The Man From U.N.C.L.E over and over.
We are melting here. Temps in high 90’s and low hundreds with heat index reaching 122 degrees…save me. LOL Darn I wish I knew you were reading Queen of Shadows I would have buddy read w/you. Maybe I will read it on vacation. Stay cool and enjoy your haul!
Aw man, I didn’t realize you hadn’t read it. Damn was it ever good!
I loved P.S. I Like You! It was so cute <3 I saw the Wonderwoman trailer and OMG I need this movie now! I love that it while it's a long trailer, it doesn't exactly show much of the story so that's good. I haven't seen the trailer for King Arthur so I'll be watching it!
I don’t think they’re finished filming WW, so there wasn’t too much of the story yet. I can’t wait to see it though!
Yes, I am so melting here! Ugh. We may end up camping downstairs because it’s so hot upstairs, even with the air conditioner running. 🙁 What a beautiful beach photo! Maybe we should think about going to the beach one of these days. It’s not so far, but we rarely go. It’s always so crowded this time of year.
I am sorry Cream of the Crop wasn’t better. Dark Matter sure sounds good though!
I’m really looking forward to seeing Wonder Woman too. I sure hope it’s good!
Have a great week, Christy!
I hope you can take a trip and get some relief from the heat.
Yes, me, I’m melting lol. Actually, I’ve literally had to start doing my grocery shopping in the evening because my frozen food thaws out by the time I get home if I go during the day -_- That really is a nice photo of the beach though!
I haven’t read any Alice Clayton, but I’ve noticed that a lot of people seem to be disappointed by Cream of the Crop :-/ At least the books you read this week were good though! Have a great week 🙂
I always do my shopping at like 6am. The stores are empty and it’s still cool. 😀
Girl, you crazy. Ain’t no way I’m ever getting up at 6am to grocery shop lol. Like, it’s 3am as I’m typing this comment if that gives you any indication of my sleeping habits, haha.
So many trailers coming out from Comic Con. I really need to sit down and watch a bunch tomorrow! I’m excited about so many of it though! Aw, lovely photo. And yes, it’s so hot here. It’s in the 90’s but it FEELS like over 100.

I know, right? The Justice League trailer is good too! Hope it cools down for you.
Oh nice, many books for you! happy reading!
I’m interested in Dark Matter but have no idea when I’ll get to read it. Her Every Fear is new to me, and I’m already shivering from the title. I’m definitely going to check that one out. Isn’t that Wonder Woman trailer epic?! Here’s my Sunday post
I’m super excited about the Comic Con trailers, so many great new movies to watch out for! Looking forward to reading Bad Boy, I’ve enjoyed Elliot Wake’s other novels! Beautiful view as well Christy.
Summer is finally arriving here, with the temperature edging into the 70’s during the day and not sinking any lower than the 60’s at night. So I’m delighted:)). The King Arthur film looks good – I love that period in history, anyway. I MUST get some Sarah J Maas books – it’s a name that keeps cropping up. Have a great reading week and I hope it gets cooler soon for you.

It’s been SO HOT here!! I love your pic, that’s beautiful!
I’m on the fence about Bad Boy – so I am looking forward to seeing what people think of it. have a great week!
Jealous of your beach pic! Its been 90’s and humid here. Miserable! Enjoy your book haul!
I’m freaking hot. Normally heat doesn’t bother me but triple digit temps for weeks on end have about finished me off. Plus my garden is doing NOTHING. And that’s enough of that rant. I love seeing a book I’m excited about on NetGalley and am doubly excited when I get that approval! Try not to melt! Have a great week!
It’s very warm here too, we’ve had temperatures around 80 degrees Fahrenheit inside the house the whole week and probably even warmer outside. That picture of the beach is lovely! So pretty and peaceful. I also got a book for review that I was really excited about, it’s so awesome when you get a book you’re really looking forward to for review! I hope you’ll have a great week!
Beautiful vista. It’s always cooler near the coast with the sea breezes. It’s the usual sweltering here too. I get so excited about books I’ve been waiting for. LOL I’ve even yelled out when I found one at a store. People probably thought I was nuts! Nothing is better than the written word, eh!
You have Wonder Woman undies? Where do you get those from in women’s sizing?
I was up at 6:00am my time to see some of the trailers from CC, just the season 7 TWD one actually. Holy shit, it looks epic. October can’t come soon enough. The weather over there sounds lovely. It’s been wet and windy not to mention freezing here. What a gorgeous photo! So many new goodies to read, have a fabulous week Christy <3
The beach looks gorgeous, we had two days of heat here in Scotland followed by a day of thunderstorms. Those two day will probably be our summer!
Have a great week!
Hey how far are you into Queen of Shadows? If you aren’t too far I can start mine, if you are then boo on you. 😛
I so need to read it and for whatever reason I’m just not motivated too even though I love them.
You are going to love The Bourbon Thief, read that one soon!
You haven’t read it either? Yeah, I finished it. Kim said she hasn’t read it yet and would probably buddy read it. You guys suck. I wish I would’ve known before I started it.
And I finished TBT wow, really good!
I was hoping you would love TBT, yay! Okay, I’ll get my butt in gear and start QoS soon then, dang it.
I actually don’t mind the heat as long as it stays under 100…once it gets above that than its pretty dang miserable. But where I live I am used to super hot summers and super cold winters. Love the extremes. haha I did watch the trailer for WW at the Star Trek movie yesterday and it looks really good.
I love your pic:) It reminds me of the beach near my home with the cliffs. It is around 80F as I type this. A WW film could be a good film to watch. Most of your books are new to me and I hope you enjoy them. Have a good, slightly cooler week.
It’s been miserably hot here. It was still 100 degrees at midnight. That is a beautiful photo! Have a great week!
There is nothing nice about 99º. Crazy woman! We’ve had 90s off and on for the past few weeks but this week is predicted to be all 90s, whimper. Yes, I’m a wimp. 😛 No, I don’t like summer. I like spring and autumn. 🙂 I’ve had your review of Cream of the Crop sitting in my save pile, I should go read it. Take care and stay cool!
Great pick! I am very much melting!! I hate it but hate winter more…lol. I so can’t wait for WW!!!! That King Auther didn’t look too bad either. 🙂
Have a great week, keep cool and read a lot of books!

There’s too much goodness in this post!! I will only be watching King Arthur for Charlie Hunam. Wonder Woman looks great too, but I’ll have to watch BvS again (hoping it’s better the 2nd time) to see if I will watch it at the theater or at home. Enjoy your week!!
Oh, why don’t you like posting pics here Christy? That one of the beach is gorgeous – and I’m glad your weather has been pretty moderate.
The Wonder Woman thing is a bit weird for me as I remember (and loved) the original!
So excited for Wonder Woman for sure and what a gorgeous photo/scene! Love it!
Love the photo! Very nice. And dammit, Christy! The heat! The heat is hateful! lol
Definitely melting…I’m just thankful we finally have AC in the car again. I wish I was on the beach right now, I need a vacation, lol!
Verra nice pic, Christy 🙂 I love the beach, too! It’s the best place to hang out 🙂
I can’t wait to see what you think of The Bourbon Thief!
Have a wonderful week and happy reading.
Trailer time! 😀
You have me curious about Bad Boy (races to Netgalley 😉 and I am so excited to read PS. I like You! I am such a huge Kasie West fan.
Such a gorgeous photo you posted! It is a chilly 18 degrees (celcius) here in Australia! I can’t wait for the warmer weather.
Have a great week & happy reading! Sharon – Obsession with Books
