  1. I bought Rebecca Shaw’s Turnham Maples Serie ?
  2. Friday will be 37 here, and yes I hate those curtains shut. But Friday dd will also come home from German Language camp ? I hope she enjoyed it...
  3. Progressing my Bonhoffer Biography and Birdsville.
  4. It never occures to me that summer could lead to higher electricity bills with no heating necessary, no need for a lot of warm food and hot drinks, no need for lightning the lamps, and other essentials to stay warm or having light, our summer electricity bills are on the lower side (we don’t have airco) we do have a higher water bill, even while we don’t water the garden. I am not shure how I should manage 43-45 degrees C in our current house. Maybe switching day and night rythm?
  5. Next week we will officially hit a ‘heat wave’ with all days temperature above 30degrees C. We will even get a 34. Too hot for summercleaning...
  6. I finished Irmina for the graphic novel square: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33142287-irmina a thick graphic novel! But a good one. I like the book
  7. I just finished a graphic novel for the Bingo. DH recommended : https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33142287-irmina to me. A very thick graphic novel with good drawing and a good story. I liked it very much ?
  8. We notice the increasing here too. But our former houses were cold (as in still wearing socks to keep my feet warm) Humid is a bigger problem indeed.
  9. Is this more standard to you? I think it is a terrible temperature we have some fans, airco’s are build in cars here, not homes. Our current living place has large and many windows, which is lovely to catch light during the other seasons, but it also makes this house very warm now...
  10. :banghead: of course one translates duMauriers ‘The Birds and other stories’ as ‘Kiss me again, Stranger’... long live Goodreads to find translations! sorry, a little frustration here...
  11. ? The Glass Blowers: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10012048-de-glasblazers Last year I read a book about DuMaurier, and it described a lot of her books, so I made a list with wich ones I would like to read. This one she wrote in France and is partly about her ancestors if I recall it correctly.
  12. Glass blazing is an art isn’t it? so the book from Daphne du Maurier would count?
  13. I think I should try another moment of the day then. When my brains are not melting away. We know some people with African roots, and they assured me it is just like Africa now here...
  14. DH and DD. the cleaning and the dishes are for me
  15. I finished Sand for the science fiction square, I really liked it ? the bingo field is quite becoming filled with titles, still thinking about feminist author and art squares, the hangman book is harder then expected or I am just terrible tired, so hesitating about continuig or abandoning for now...
  16. I didn’t experienced Avalon the same way as DH, but as he abandoned the book for that reason at the time, it seemed good to mention. Yes I liked the Vera Stanhope book, but it helped I knew the serie..
  17. DH experienced the book as ‘against christianity’, I thought some passages are ‘hot and steamy’ ?
  18. I finished several books last week: - Villa Rose a book that should have include the perfect recipe how to make ones own pasta - at sea (a junior high book) - murder ar honeychurch hall - a Vera Stanhope mysterie otherwise struggling with the emptiness of the summer season: almost no activities outside the home and too warm (for belgian customs) to work in garden.
  19. Thanks! Last year I read Hidden Figures and saw the movie.
  20. For the book to movie adaptation square, does a detective episode count? And is there a website otherwise to help with the square? Translations and movies come later here, so I can’t read & watch something very new
  21. Just finished Murder at Honeychurch Hall. A light reading perfect to alternate with summer cleaning / decluttering...
  22. I finished The Miniaturist, a Mary Kondo book, the Choir and a study in Death...
  23. On the left, under explore is tab ‘saved’ there you can find saved posts, one can even folder them ? we have required exams here, and I am therefore member of an exam facebook group. If people are talking about an exam we are preparing for, and they say something important or useful, I save their posts. I suppose it is comparable with an ACT / SAT / AP facebook group. (Supposing they exist)
  24. One can save posts on facebook and unsave them. I use that with examtopics: I save posts during preparation time, and unsafe them when the exam is passed ?
