I am looking forward to it. I am glad the birthday event went well! I would like to read The Haunting of Hill House. That's interesting about King being so influenced by Jackson, but I suppose it really isn't surprising. Lock Every Door sounds good as well.

I had visions of doing some stretches here and there while on the road, but forgot my mat and haven't really had too much time for more than walking and biking. Maybe after this wedding weekend! I'm glad you had some rain! I hear that my neighborhood got 3" the other day. We sure needed it! Enjoy your book group discussion. The group I belong to really enjoyed the book, with just the exception of one or two members.Les in Oregonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15053880852764886416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755001368713174831.post-70826700989870511862019-09-17T16:36:21.403-05:002019-09-17T16:36:21.403-05:00We've got some dark clouds this afternoon, but...We've got some dark clouds this afternoon, but I think they said precipitation would likely be to the east of us today.

I am getting ready to retire at the end of the year, and it seems like there are endless things to do for that, and working on our weedy yard (tiny yard but VERY weedy). I have been reading too, but not much else. I look forward to hearing what you and your group think of The Library Book.

We also have Zoysia grass and drought tolerant plants. Unfortunately I feel like a lot of our plants have really suffered this summer. We need to work in our garden but it's still way too hot for me to get out there. Good luck to your husband at his golf tournament!

I find it pretty spooky. Not Stephen King horror, more what you don't see spooky. I don't think I would like the Netflix adaptation. When I read about it, it seemed to far off from the movie and the book and decided not to watch it.
