Ya gotta do what ya gotta do, no matter what the calendar and/or the weather says!

Thanks for popping in, Meezan!

I just got an e-ARC of THE BEQUEST, so I'll definitely be reading it soon. It does sound good, doesn't it?

Very true. I just have to crank up the air a little more so I can snuggle up with a warm blanket and read :)

Thanks for stopping by, Yomna!

I hope so, too. They definitely all look like my kind of books, but we'll see...

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

The commenting link thing is kind of hidden, isn't it? And it doesn't help that I changed the wording so it's even more confusing. Sorry about that. I'm so glad you persevered!

I learn about a lot of new releases on NG and I love that I can get them early. I hope we both enjoy EXILES.

Thanks for popping by, Terrie!

I was spoiled growing up in the Columbia River Gorge (Washington/Oregon), where the Fall is so glorious and beautiful. It makes living in a place with no real seasons tough to bear, even after 20 years!

It stinks, doesn't it? I'm SO done with the heat.

I haven't loved the two Gudenkauf books I've read, so I'm hoping this one is more to my liking. The premise definitely appeals.

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

I should! I've always told my husband that if I HAVE to live in Arizona, I want it to be in Flagstaff. Alas, we're still in Mesa...Enjoy the nice Fall weather for me until I can come up and experience it for myself.

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

I'm liking THE LAST ANNIVERSARY so far. Moriarty's books are always so engaging and fun! I really liked the one book I've read by Green, so I have high hopes for THE BLACKOUT BOOK CLUB.

I kind of hibernate during the summer, honestly. I crank up the a/c and stay inside, unless I'm in the pool. Utah can be miserable in the summer, too, but at least you have awesome Fall weather. I used to love Fall in Utah with all the color and crispness. Enjoy it for me!

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

Right? Hopefully it's not too scary for me. I'm kind of a wimp!

Thanks for stopping in, Esther!

Right? I can't resist Bolton's books, even though they're a little darker than I really prefer. Her writing really sucks me in, though! I literally can't put them down.

Autumn is defintiely a state of mind! If I wasn't still in the middle of all my house remodeling, I'd be decorating like mad for the season :)

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

It stinks, doesn't it? The heat lasts FOREVER. I guess that way we really appreciate the cooler weather when it finally comes.

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

Thanks, Rajani! I'm heading over to yours to see what new thoughts you've posted. I always look forward to your deep posts :)

I really liked THE LINES BETWEEN US. I haven't read THINGS WE DIDN'T SAY yet, so I'll have to read that one while I'm waiting for Green's newest. She's a great writer!

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

I'm so glad you found some titles to pique your interest! Yeah, I haven't paid much attention to what's coming out in the Spring, but I saw EXILES on NetGalley and had to have it. It's always fun to read your favorite authors' upcoming books before they're released.

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

We have lovely weather from about December to March, but the rest of the year? Ugh. I would go back to the PNW in a heartbeat! Enjoy it for me :)

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

It sounds so good! I can't wait.

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

Same! It makes me nervous when there are years between installments in a series. I'm always afraid it's not going to be continued. Thank goodness that's not the case here!

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

I've read almost all of Moriarty's adult books. I've liked all of them, but I haven't LOVED all of them. We'll see where THE LAST ANNIVERSARY falls. I'm enjoying it so far.

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

Yeah, I'm not sure how THE LAST ANNIVERSARY slipped through my fingers either. It's the only one of Moriarty's adult books I haven't read. Weird!

You definitely need to try Harper. Her books are great. I'm really liking Green, too, although admittedly I've only read one of her books, LOL.

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

I rarely read any of the books on my TBR lists (at least not right away), let alone all of them. Ha ha. Funny enough, I've already read one of the books on this list and am in the middle of two others (one on audio, one on Kindle) so I'm rocking it this time around!

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

Ah, that's a relief, I'm not the only one. LOL

Same! Her books are always so absorbing. I'm especially excited for a new installment in the Aaron Falk series. I hope we both enjoy it.

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

I really like Moriarty. Even the books of hers that I didn't like so much, I enjoyed overall. She's a great writer.

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

Isn't it? And the plot summary is creepy, too. Sounds like a perfect Halloween read! I started reading THE HEIR TO BLACKWOOD LIBRARY last night and it's getting creepy as well. I'm pretty wimpy, so hopefully I can handle all this spookiness, LOL.

Thanks for popping in, Yvonne!

Ugh! It feels miserably hot here today, especially since we had a few overcast days that were a tad cooler. I cranked up the a/c, so now I'm feeling a cool breeze! Ha ha. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do, ya know?

THE HOUSE ON THE LAKE really does sound like the perfect Halloween read. I hope it's as good as it sounds.

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

Bookish books are always going to get a second glance from me. Plus, I really liked the other novel I read by this author, so I think I'm going to love THE BLACKOUT BOOK CLUB. I hope you enjoy it if you read it. Oh, and yes, Jane Harper is excellent. I love her books!

Thanks for stopping in, Mary!

No worries! And, thanks, I hope I enjoy them all, too. I am so far.

Thanks for stopping in, Susan!

Doesn't it? I'm excited to read it!

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