Knitting Notes
I’ve finished the first of my Little Cable Knee Highs. And they fit! (And man, is it hard to take a selfie of the back of your own leg and keep that leg straight!)
Iron Kissed – Patricia Briggs
Read for the RIP IX Reading Challenge. Mercy Thompson can’t catch a break. This is the third book in the series. After the first, she owed the vampires for their help with the werewolves, and now, after the second book, she owes the Fae for their help while she discharged her debt to the vampires.

Jane Austen: Cover to Cover – Margaret C. Sullivan
LibraryThing Early Readers book. I will admit, I would probably never have bought this book, but I’m really happy to have it. It’s exactly what the title says it is – Jane Austen book covers through the years from first publication, up to the present day. It’s a really neat study on changing times, changing

Venetia – Georgette Heyer
Read for the Georgette Heyer Reading Challenge. When you’ve read enough of Heyer’s work, you begin to sense certain themes. One of her favorites is a slightly older women (older being relative in Regency times) who’s practically on the shelf, and has given up on the idea of marriage for some reason (fortunately, she’s also

The Creeps – John Connolly
Read for the RIP IX Reading Challenge. Were it not for a well timed trip to Northshire Books, I would not have known this book was out. It’s the third book in a trilogy about Samuel Johnson’s multi-dimensional adventures, after the small English town he lives in becomes the fore-front in an invasion from Hell.

RIP IX Reading Challenge 9/1/14 – 10/31/14
Hard to believe it’s that time of year again, but it’s nearly Fall, so it’s time for the RIP challenge. I’ve actually started, after a well timed visit to my favorite independent bookstore, where I was able to scour the recommendations, and supplement what I already had available in the following categories: Mystery, Suspense, Thriller,

The Word for World is Forest – Ursula K. LeGuin
This is the kind of book you can point to when some sneering “literary writing only” nitwit tries to tell you that genre fiction can’t address larger themes or important messages. In this book, the planet of New Tahiti (as the Earth human refer to it) already has an indigenous population of humans that happen
