I don’t miss living in Phoenix in the summer. I hear ya, I have been hit or miss with reading and it will get worse over the next few weeks as I will be so busy. I just finished Twinkle this morning on audio. I wasn’t loving it at first either. It was good but it not fantastic. It does turn around and gets way better at the end.
