Monday Early Bird Book Releases – 07-25-2022

HAPPY MONDAY!!! It’s the start of another new week, and soon the start of another new month!! I can’t believe how quickly this summer is flying by…

It’s time to build today’s amazing list, so keep check back, as it grows, and let me know if you’ve read something amazing!!

P.S. In case you missed it on Friday (I know so many went to Book Bonanza), our Friday Finds list was incredible and HUGE. 40 books and 10 audiobooks!! —> Friday Finds & Reader Recommendations – 07-21-2022

THREE THINGS:

1.) I finally have all of my Phillips Hue lights installed and my house is just getting better and better (10 x BR30 lights for my “can lights” and 10 x “A19” lights for my regular bulb fixtures). I just ordered 6 light bars too, for uplighting and behind my TV lighting!! I LOVE being able to control the colors and color temperatures of my home lighting. My favorites during the day is Energize or Concentrate, but I enjoy some gentle subdued colors in the evening and then dimmed or nightlight right before bed. Helps my sleeping so much!

2.) We watched the first three shows on Shark Week 2022 last night. So fun!! One was an episode of Jack Ass (which is of course always cringe and hard to watch, but there was a special purpose for them having their own episode and it turned out sweet). One was about an amazing shark explorer (young and vibrant, and he’s done all sorts of crazy things with Great White sharks) but there’s a twist, so I won’t say more about that. The third episode was about a scholar with a theory about the sound when sharks break the water while hunting (that was my least favorite because I don’t know that it’s as complicated as that, but who knows? I’m not a marine biologist). ;). Plus, since it was later in the evening, we changed the hue lighting to “blue lagoon” and it fit the ambiance of our night perfectly!

3.) I just introduced my boyfriend to “Havarti” cheese and while he was hesitant to try it, he’s pretty pleased with it. This was the first time he’s ever heard of it. So creamy and mild and melty and delicious!!! I’d say it’s my favorite cheese.
