Don't Let a Few Crisp Mornings Fool You!

Just in time for all the visitors to Chicago for the Democratic National Convention and the start of most schools in the area, we've had a week of blue skies, cool mornings, and best of all--low humidity.  But as someone who has spent most of my life here, I knew summer wasn't over!  

Next week our temperatures will be in the high 90F (aka mid 30C), yuck. Since I've been recuperating from the dental surgery, I haven't been able to run, and now I will need to be smart and not try to get back in the running groove when it's a thousand degrees outside.

Fans of Fall, we can turn on the air and try to carry on making soup and chili, but the weather isn't cooperating! I will focus on finishing a book set in the fictional town of Nightmare, Arizona. 


We have a fun new phenomenon in our area, local booksellers are teaming up with craft breweries for adult book fairs.  As a kid who loved book fair day, the chance to peruse books with a tasty beverage in my hand is a dream come true. I love this trend and I hope it continues!  

How about you? Did you love the school book fairs? Have you seen any adult book fairs in your area?

We had cooler temperatures for a week or so, but hot is back and I love it. More days in the pool. I'm not ready for fall yet. Give me 3 more weeks. I loved books fairs, as a parent, I always gave my kids money to buy books and I ran them when I was the teacher/librarian. Who doesn't love buying books? Have a lovely week Victoria.

I'm ready for fall. I do some seasonal reading, especially in pulling themes for my freebies like National Parks in the summer and spooky themes in October and holiday themes for December.
