Churfirsten Sock 1: DONE! YAY!
Sock 2: cuff complete, and about 1/3 of the way through the (very short) leg. I honestly have done very little knitting in the last several weeks. Apparently I've spent all my couch time reading, as evidenced by the list below.
Books read:
- Bake, Borrow and Steal by Ellie Alexander. Another Bakeshop Mystery, a good light read.
- Excellent Women by Barbara Pym. Saw this one on Ginny's blog (Ginny the originator of the Yarn Along idea) and requested it from the library. If you only like a more modern writing style involving female characters, this book most likely isn't for you. I did enjoy it, the style of writing reminded me of a lot of books read in my youth.
- The Riding Instructor's Manual by Gordon Wright & Samuel Kelley. I've had this in my personal library for a long, long time and got it out when I first had K3 start working the Little Black Mare with me. This book is mostly themed for the English/jumping rider, and was written many decades ago. Some info was still relevant to my project with K3. (Side note: went on Amazon to find a link to add for this book and WHOA!! Check out the price!! I knew it had been out of print for while but didn't know my copy was worth so much!)
- 500 Miles From You by Jenny Colgan. She has become one of my favorite writers when I want a feel-good read that isn't fluffy. Another story based in Kirrinfief Scotland and there are cameos of familiar characters from her previous two books that I read. Pretty sure I literally read this book in two days.
- The Burning by Linda Castillo. This is her latest Kate Burkholder novel and is as gripping as all the others.
- The Rom-Commers by Katherine Center. Her latest novel, was engaging, funny and hard to put down. Another that I devoured in 2-3 days.
Currently reading You Only Die Once by Jodi Wellman. I've barely started it, but so far I like her writing style. Not sure if the perkiness and the in-your-face will wear on me after a while. Will have to report on that next month.
