If you can step away from the news it will help. I have finally managed that and now get more reading done and just feel better. But I do know how addictive it is, so all the best.

I hope the hurricane isn't too bad and everyone is safe. <br /><br />I've seen the first season of The Umbrella Academy and enjoyed it--although it was a bit strange. I kept asking my husband about the background story so I'd better unerstand it. I hope you enjoy your reading!

How did that happen when we're on lockdown? Apparently someone came in with the virus, and infected one of us. Or a resident could have gone out, to a doctor, etc., and that's how it happened.<br /><br />Whenever that happens, everything becomes even more restrictive.<br /><br />I am also happy about GH coming back, which distracts me. Let's hope the actors and producers stay well so they can perform!<br /><br />I am with you on how can we have hope for 2021 when we don't know it if will be gone by then.<br /><br />Let's hang in there and enjoy our books and movies. I am also flipping from one show to the other, but I did watch all of In the Dark, both seasons. It completely engaged me!<br /><br />Enjoy your week, and here are <a href="http://laurelrainsnow.wordpress.com/2020/08/01/weekly-updates-moving-along-2//" rel="nofollow"> WEEKLY UPDATES </a><br /><br /><br /><br />Laurel-Rain Snowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00101090217639410913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212778319280550447.post-17987498690581070302020-08-02T16:57:38.807-04:002020-08-02T16:57:38.807-04:00We've had scattered storms from Isaias so far ...We've had scattered storms from Isaias so far today but nothing more than that.

As for the pandemic, I do hope we get a vaccine in 2021, but I don't think it will be widely available before next summer. I hope I'm wrong, and it's sooner... but we need a LOT of doses and even once they have good vaccines approved, it will take time to get them manufactured, distributed, and injected.<br /><br />Enjoy your new books this week, and please -- stay safe!<br /><br />I posted about my book haul and week-in-review in <a href="https://bookwyrmshoard.com/sunday-post/sunday-post-08-02-2020/" rel="nofollow">my Sunday Post</a> today.<br />Lark @ The Bookwyrm's Hoardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08639732368395025578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212778319280550447.post-70665488082773017842020-08-02T13:17:31.054-04:002020-08-02T13:17:31.054-04:00We had a hurricane brush past us last week and now...We had a hurricane brush past us last week and now you have one this week. I hope yours is as hands-off as ours was. Maybe the hurricane has been advised to use social distancing. At least you are fully stocked for the storm.<br /><br />It looks like you have been busy with book tours. Some of us have been having trouble getting into reading. Glad you are not.<br /><br />Our lives are like yours.

I hope it doesn't hit hard and everyone stays safe.<br /><br />I have high hopes for a vaccine soon in early 2021 so I'm holding out hope for a better year next year.
