Thank you! I hope so, too.

Thanks for coming by, Astilbe!

Ha ha. It's been the craziest year, hasn't it?

Thanks for stopping by, Deanna!

I do, too. Some of her books are better than others, of course, but I've especially enjoyed her newest ones. I have high hopes for THE FOUR WINDS. I hope we both enjoy it.

Right? 2020 has honestly not been ALL that bad for us, but I know it has been absolutely HORRENDOUS for some. I'm not sad that it's coming to an end soon-ish.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Lark!

I agree. There's not tons of information about it online, but that's okay. It's Kristin Hannah, so I'm in!

Thanks for stopping by, Diane!

We've only lost power once so far this summer. It was only for about an hour, but it was intense! I spent most of it in the pool :) I'm also glad that we aren't having those awful fires that California's getting. So devastating.

On a brighter note, 2021 looks to be a great year for books. I'm excited.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Sam!

It will be interesting to see what happens in 2021. I want to say that it can't possibly be worse than 2020, but I don't want to jinx anything! I'm with you - I refuse to be afraid of the future. I'm looking to it with faith and positivity.

I hope we both love Hannah's newest!

Thanks for stopping by, Leslie!

Me, too. I have an e-ARC of the Meissner one, so I plan to read it soon. Can't wait!

Thanks for coming by, Suzanne!

Lucky you! I hope it starts cooling down for you soon. We won't see temperature drops until October/November :(

Thanks for stopping by, Laurie!

2020 has been crazy on so many levels! I know a lot of books have had their publication dates pushed back. Hopefully, these titles will stay on track.

I didn't have a/c growing up, but that was in the Pacific Northwest where it's only hot for a couple months out of the year. Plus, we had a basement :) Here, I have to have my a/c going pretty much all year round. I would literally die otherwise!

Thanks for stopping by, Greg!

A/c makes these crazy hot climates bearable! I don't know how people survived in the deserts and the tropics before a/c was invented. Torture!

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Mystica!

Right? They all sound so good!

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Marg!

It was a fun post to put together. I'm always excited when I hear about new books that sound amazing. Gives my booklovin' heart something to look forward to :)

Thanks for coming by, LavenderLeon!

I'm glad your weather is cooling down. I can't imagine summers without a/c!

I'm sure 2021 releases will be a TTT topic soon, but I couldn't wait. It was fun to check out what's up and coming.

Thanks for stopping by, Marianne!

I've met many Americans who boasted that it was so much hotter in the States than here and when summer came and they had to endure it without a/c, they were the first to complain about the weather.

It's still not a done thing, we don't have a/c in private homes and in very few shops. It's been unbearable in the last couple of years. There are people who move South for the winter (Spain, Portugal), I'd love to move North for the summer.

Americans are wimpy and spoiled. Maybe we're wimpy because we're spoiled? A/C is standard in homes where I live. In fact, there are government programs to help people pay their a/c bills because it's so ridiculously hot here. Living without it can literally be deadly.

I grew up in Washington State, where it's really only hot for a couple months out of the year and most houses there did not have a/c. Most of the shops and offices did, though. I honestly can't imagine living entirely without a/c. I'm too much of a wimp for that!

I think we all will get there with climate change ... :( Even though many people believe it's a hoax.

Right? There's no way to keep up, but that's a good thing as we'll never run out of things to read!

Ugh. Humidity is the worst! I'll take the dry heat any day, although I would prefer no heat at all. I would 100% move to Alaska right now.
