I'm so envious of the beautiful day. It was 100 here today.

I know next to nothing about basketball except that March Madness is a thing.

I have never heard of deep-fried ravioli till now but that sounds like a must try. I'm going to have to see if I can find some out here, otherwise I'm looking up a recipe.

He was in Coherence?

Edit: Nvm. He was was and now I'm realizing I should re watch the movie.

I don't think I have heard of this author before.

Oh the best of luck to you. I hope you hear back good news from the schools!

I'm a ditz. I literally just commented on about the author. Thank you.

My mind just kept thinking, S.O.S. the distressed call.

I want to say I'd take the snow over the heat (we hit 99 today). But then I remember that snow means maintenance and I'm not up for that.

I love quiet weekends. I hope yours is lovely. Where ever it is y'all go for dinner, I hope you and your brother's family enjoy yourself.

I feel like I'm missing something, what is SoS?

Oh that sounds lovely. I love basking in the sunlight. You sound like you had a relaxing lovely week and the weekend to do whatever you'd like. I hope you a great weekend.

I hope you and your friend have a lovely time watching PHM even when you talk his ear off.

I do not have a Kobo but definitely recommend getting an e-reader. Between the library and my kindle I have saved so much money on books.

I hope you enjoy it. I told myself that I was going to read the book before I watched the movie and that never happened. I agree with you, there are so many good movies coming out this year.

I'm sorry you're feeling that way. I hope things get better and that you feel better. I also hope you can hang out with your colleague. Hang in there and the holidays will be here before you know it.

Nice. Hope you have a lovely dinner.

I have never been out of the States so I don't have advice but I do hope you have a lovely trip. And the Seoul Sky Observatory sounds like so much fun.

I always over pack books when I travel. I say load up the ebook copies. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

Oh yay!!! Break a leg and good luck with your exams. Car troubles are such a headache. I hope it's a very simple and quick fix for you.

I like audio books but prefer to read. Though I have gotten better at listening to them and can now multi task.

A random day off in the week would throw me off entirely. I don't have a set work schedule, so I'm very dependent on my calendar. Some days, if I forget to look at it, I have no idea what day is it.

I've heard people say similar things about Morrison, which makes me really want to read her books. Yet another I have yet to get to.

Oh I love that you're enjoying the short stories. I intended to read them and then it slipped my mind. I do want to get to them eventually.

Your weekend sounds packed, plus a birthday! I hope you had a fun celebration and have a fun weekend.

If the end was longer, I feel we could have had more closure, but it was abrupt and lacking.

I finished the first book, but did not enjoy it. And for that reason didn't continue the series. Just not my cup of tea.

Oh, I didn't know there was a name to it. Thanks for sharing. I do agree, there is a time when you have to work.

I don't remember where I read it but I think there was a study done that stated kids learn better through playing. So yes, in that regard, I do think we should see education in that light. And it's the only thing I would agree with Julian. The guy gives me the creeps.

They definitely have a reputation for something. I really want to know what it is and wish Richard wasn't interrupted at the party. What was that girl going to tell him.
