Knitting was inconsistent for me in April. The death of K2 threw me for a loop, mentally, as well as there being so much to help DS1 with in the days since then. I did manage to finish sock #1 of my Quadrille socks, and have just barely started with sock #2.
I was supposed to go to a community book swap that a friend of mine was hosting on an April Saturday, but that ended up being the day of K2's funeral, so I was unable to go. My wonderful friend did let me take a look, the day before the swap, at close to a hundred books that had been donated to her for swapping. I came home with about ten titles, most of which had been on and off my radar for a number of years. I was really happy to find them in the swap.
One of which is in the photo above. It's what I'm currently reading: Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan. I'm roughly 1/3 of the way through the book. For me, it's kind of going slowly. I am enjoying the story line, but do feel that it's written for a younger audience than myself (a 51 yr old woman who is decidedly low-tech). So I haven't been drawn into it so much that I can't go a day or two without reading it. A cool thing I discovered last night, though, is that the cover glows in the dark!
Other books I read recently, all of which were from the library, not the book swap, are
--Chilled to the Cone by Ellie Alexander; another of the Bakeshop mysteries. This one reads just as quickly as the others. Always a good, relaxing choice of read.
