Hot, Hot, Hot.......

We were trying to conserve and not turn the air conditioning on yet, but I broke down this morning and pushed the switch. Now we'll hope that all works as it should.

I finished Dan Simmons' "Summer of Night." That is one scary book! A bunch of 11 year old boys that are looking forward to a summer vacation from school in 1960 and one of their school mates goes missing the last day. They've decided to find out where and why he's gone. Strange things are happening around the old school house and research leads them to discover it centers around the old bell that was brought from Europe in the late 1800's to hang in the school. The closer they get to answers the more they are threatened. Another friend is killed so desperate measures must be taken to keep the rest of them and their small town safe. Can't help but read this book quickly. It was like reading an early Stephen King novel. Sure hope my James Patterson book comes today.
