Good morning Bookaholics!

How is everyone doing?

We have officially hit heatwave weather in the UK, so i wanted to ask this question...🤔

What is everyone's go to genre during the summer? And do you have any little summer reading rituals you like to do? 📖

(I know that two questions, sue me 😝)

Hello everyone!! Just popping in here to remind everyone, but especially my fellow european boundlings to take extra care of yourself during this very extreme heat wave rn and the next days ‼️

And i don't mean drinking enough water, and sitting in the shade of a tree. I mean stay inside during the day, don't take the temperatures lightly and push yourself to work out or go for a run, try to reschedule them to the early morning hours or later in the evening if necessary. Cancel appointments or dates if you don't feel well. Try to minimise your daily activity to the bare minimum and only things necessary! Heatwave's should get treated like s snowstorm, bc it's nothing else than an extreme of the other end of the scale.

The temperatures we're currently experiencing are seriously no joke, people DIE bc of heatstrokes every day. People in central europe are not used to this conditions, our daily life is designed for colder temperatures, our buildings don't have integrated cooling systems and most private households don't have AC. These temperatures in central europe feel different from the same temperatures in other usual warm countries and regions.

Take care everyone!! 🫂☀️

Europe is currently getting hit by an extreme weather situation, scientists call "the omega situation". Warm air masses are getting firmly trapped between two cold air masses on each side, which leads to a very stable and long holding heat over central europe atm. These week the temperatures are rising over 40°C (104°F), which is a new heat record documented for these time of the year.

Johanna, loving the book. However, mayhaps we have mayhap’d too many mayhaps close to the sun, with all the mayhaps I’ve just read, mayhaps?
