AVR News Update
Hello and Happy Sunday!
We have A/C!!
We have A/C!!
Ahhhh!!! So nice to be cool again. I can even use my oven without dying from heat prostration. Anyway, the guys showed up on Thursday at 08:50 and were packed up by 12:30. Around 1:30 another guy came to do the system checks and an hour later the air was on and the house was cooling down. BAM!
In other news: There is no other news! Bwahahahaha! Kidding.
~There's a week of school left. Yay! The kids will have a week off then they head to Ohio for 2 weeks to visit my parents. :)
~The tomato plants are in, I have some other planting to do and I weeded the flowerbeds. They were getting really bad. Oops.
~We've finished Season Two of Supernatural. Nooooo, Dean! *shakes head*
~It's a busy month on the homestead, so I cut back on the blog this week, but I do have some stuff upcoming. In fact, I need to write next week's reviews. Better get crackin' on that.
That's it for me. AVR News Update signing off. May all your books enthrall you.

Assassin looks good. I got the Demon and his witch too ! Have a great week and enjoy the cool air :)
ReplyDeleteIt does! I'm looking forward to checking it out. Thanks and I most certainly will. :D
DeleteWorth the Risk sounds good. I've read a book by the author and I like her writing style. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteMichelle
It's not often I come across a free Entangled. Had to snag it. :D Thanks!
DeleteHey congrats on the air! I remember when ours went out, not a happy time. :) Glad you're back in business... your B&N pickups look pretty good.
ReplyDeleteThanks! *high fives* It's so awesome! lol I'm dying to read Skin Game. This summer for sure.
DeleteOh, having no a/c this time of year is pretty awful. Glad your a/c is working! I hope your kids enjoy the last couple weeks of school...LOL...I'm sure they're ready to be done. Enjoy all your books!
ReplyDeleteIt was awful out and then as soon as it was up and running the temps dropped. *slaps forehead* Exams this week and then done. They are more than ready. lol Thanks!
DeleteWard Z looks awesome. Our AC broke last year and we went without for 4 days. On the third day I had a mental meltdown. My husband grabbed me, shoved me in the car and took me to the movies..where I shivered and regained control. Since I never lose it..it was quite scary. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteIt does and Victory Blvd sounds like it will be pretty good. Weds was so awful! I mean, it was the worst day since the A/C went out and I was flat out miserable. Thurs was yucky, too, but at least the end was only hours away. I can see why people snap when it's so hot out. Weds was not only hot, but humid. *shudders* It's only a bad memory now, thank goodness. :)
DeleteHuzzah for AC! Happy dance, indeed. I'm not a happy camper without my AC - not at home, anyway. (And if I'm camping, it had better be somewhere relatively cool!)
ReplyDeleteI'm loving that Arabian Nights cover - so pretty! Nice package from Kensington, too. Enjoy your new books and have a great (and cool) week!
*grabs hands and swings in a circle* I know, right?! lol We had days, Weds most especially, that were awful. For the most part though, the temps stayed in the upper 70s or low 80s and it was bearable with fans going. But Weds *groans* Awful. Just awful.
DeleteIt is! It grabbed my eye and I knew I didn't already have a copy at home. Cool weeks are awesome! lol
YAY for A/C. :)
ReplyDeleteI am trying to resist the freebies; I have so many unread books. smh I need more hours in the day for reading.
Your Kensington package looks wonderful, enjoy!
A/C is awesome! lol
DeleteI try to resist freebies too and for the most part I have. I've cut waaaaaay back. I know it doesn't look like it. lol
I'm looking forward to reading them. :)
Woohoo for the AC!! Mine went out in May and I thought I was melting! It was during a little hot spell and so not fun but glorious when it came back up and was running. lol
ReplyDeleteYeah, ours has been out for over a month and those days in May were awful. Good for the electric bill though. LOL
DeleteI have a feeling my A/C is going to start giving me trouble. I'll have to start beating it. I think I'll send my son to your parents too. :P Enjoy all your books.
ReplyDeleteNoooooo! *puts magic juju into the air* There. No problems. lol
DeleteSend him! The more the merrier. LOL
Yay for A/C! I wish my dad would get us some A/C haha. I love the cover of Tales from the Arabian Night! I want to read that haha. Hope you're enjoying all your new books!
ReplyDelete*doing the A/C dance* I'm not sure how I managed to grow up without it, but then the weather wasn't so crazy when I was a kid. Plus, I grew up in Ohio. :)
DeleteYay on having A/C again! Looks like you got some great books too! Death Among the Ruins sounds good. Hope your tomato plants do well. Mine are doing really well so now I'm paranoid one these storms we've been having is going to take them out! Have a great (and cool) week!
ReplyDeleteWe had a horrible crop last year and I blame the damn dirty stinkbugs. lol This year I'm planting marigolds and mint to keep away insects. Hope it works. *fingers crossed*
DeleteYay for A/C!!! *happy dance* Seriously, this would be a horrible summer without it! And I'm a little jealous that you just finished season 2 of supernatural. Seasons 3-5 are my favorite I think :) Enjoy !
ReplyDelete*joins in happy dance* :D The kids are dying for us to keep going, but we have stuff to do around the house that comes first. lol
DeleteAh nice to have a/c again. Love the video's the slug one that's cute. Nice haul this week, I hope you enjoy your new reads and your week.
ReplyDeleteSharon @ Sharon's Book Nook!
It so is. :D I thought it was cute. Much better than the regular video.
DeleteI hope they're as good as they sound. Thanks! :)
Oohh yay for having AC again. Gosh, I hate being hot. It's the worst! lol
ReplyDeleteI used to hate the cold with a passion. I have completely changed my mind. At least when it's cold you can add layers or blankets, build a fire in the fireplace or crank up the heat. When it's hot and there's no A/C you can only strip down so far. LOL
DeleteI hope you enjoy Jim Butcher. I gave the first one a try and it wasn't for me but the guy I sit next to waxes lyrical about him constantly.
ReplyDeleteI love the Dresden Files. And I've gotten my kids hooked on it, too. I'm sure I'll enjoy it though I know not every book is for everyone. That would be boring. :D Thanks!
DeleteI have a couple and picked up a couple. Thanks for the heads up.

You're welcome! Thanks for stopping by. :)
DeleteYay, for the A/C!!! Enjoy your week. :)
ReplyDelete*rolls around on floor hugging self in the chilly air* Oh, I am. I really am. LOL
DeleteWow... lots of awesome goodies up there! My kids had an extra day off school this week, I'm looking forward to them going back so I can do more of my course. Hope the new A/C is running well!!
ReplyDeleteThanx for visiting My Weekly Wrap-Up!

A/C is plugging along quite well. *knocks on wood* The kids have exams this week, so the days are shorter. Then they will be out until Aug. 25th. Thanks for stopping by! :)
