After four years of blogging, I'm still struggling to post consistently whether its on a daily, weekly, or bi-weekly basis. Btw, I live in Georgia and its been extremely hot, humid, and dry here since the end of April. So, I definitely understand feeling drained after being in the heat most of the day. Hope you are feeling better! <br />Written Melodieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01419176676414672750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-2642007528962420142016-07-19T22:50:56.903-04:002016-07-19T22:50:56.903-04:00LOL!

That happened to me once and it felt horrid. Thank God for AC! In regards to what I'm reading, I'm enjoying A Seven Realms Series by Cinda Williams Chima. It has 4 books: The Demon King, The Exiled Queen, The Gray Wolf Throne and The Crimson Crown (which is what I'm currently reading). It's story is similar to Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes: medieval fantasy, kings and queens, clans, wizardry and numerous character's mainly third person POV with the two main characters; no love triangles (thank goodness unlike the Sarah Mass books) and lots of world building and history. I originally wanted to read Flamecaster by the same author and learned that it's a new series continuation to Seven Realms so I read these 4 books first before I tackled Flamecaster. The covers are really pretty. Books are kind of long (500+ pgs each) and the first one is kind of dry in the beginning. I guess the author wanted to build the story up but each book flows smoothly to each other. I'm glad that I can read them all at the same time. If I had to wait a year for the next book it would be tough for me to remember what happened. I do love the Fallng Kingdoms series though. Can't wait for your The Beauty of Darkness review!!

So I drink like a TON of water if I am out in any heat hehe but I have been sick so much from the heat in the past, just not fun to deal with at all. Plenty of fluids like water and sports drinks should help ya. Hope you feel better soon.

Find a cool air conditioned room to chill out in and chug water/Gatorade (with some pretzels to soak it up) until you feel human again. At least, that's my family's go-to. Feel better! :)Kelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00938626223222252300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-85202525574660379402016-07-15T09:08:40.327-04:002016-07-15T09:08:40.327-04:00Whoa, yeah, you got a bit fried it seems.
