The heat and humidity have been brutal here. Last weekend, I stood in the pool reading for a couple of hours. It was too hot to float!

I have figured out how I have more time for reading in the summer --- keeping up outside is easier than inside. Outside I bring a drink, a book, a towel and my headset for listening to music as I swim. Inside we manage to make more of a mess and have to straighten pillows and reorganize throw blankets, and I prefer not stressing leaves on the ground over vacuuming.

I love when I share a book with someone and tell them that I think they will enjoy it --- and the next time I see them, they hand it back to me with a big smile and huge raves. That is what happened when I shared THE DOORMAN by Chris Pavone, a Bookreporter.com Bets On pick, with our book group leader, Kathleen. She enjoyed it and suggested that we read it for our August discussion. I am looking forward to this meeting!
