I’m on vacation for the next week! Hurray! (I feel like I have an absolute surfeit of vacation this year, but it’s really just the result of taking absolutely no time off from January through May, while I had a project at work, and then having to make sure I take all but the 40 […]
Read for the YA and RIP III Reading Challenges. Blood and Chocolate is the story of Vivian, a teenage werewolf. Her pack was recently forced to flee their home in West Virginia after a fire that caused the death of the pack leader (her father). They’ve moved to the suburbs in Maryland, and both she

I’ve finished up another reading challenge! I definitely have to thank Lenneth over at Foxy Writer for hosting this one. I’m already a big fantasy fan, but this incorporated a few authors I’d not read before, and it was a great experience to do so. I ended up reading the following: It was a great

Read for the Mythopoeic Award and TBR 2008 Reading Challenges. I should start this by noting that with the combination of L going back to school, and Sigerson’s recent post on LJ about the classes she’s taking this fall, I was feeling rather wistful about my college days.

More Blueberry knitting done. These baby socks are from the recipe on the Lisa Henderson knits blog. It’s a pretty simple recipe, though since I didn’t really have much to compare them against, they came out a little shorter than I might have liked. I’m planning on doing one more pair, so I may try
Yeah, so I started out the morning at the Fibre Company tent sale. (It was actually the yard sale for the company owner. She recently got a distributor who is dying the yarn for her, so she’s going to move to England to start up another version of the Fibre Company over there. I want
I finally got around to reading the second of Allison Croggon’s Pellinor books. It was a great, quick read, and I’m definitely enjoying the world she’s built. The story picks up directly after Maerad and Cadvan’s escape from the city of Norloch, and follows our heroes through some of the outer lands of Edil-Amarandh. This

I’ve decide to do the Sockdown Challenge on Ravelry this cycle around, mostly to keep myself honest and try some new patterns. There’s a pretty good list going for the coming year, and I’m looking forward to doing some new and different things. September’s challenge is to do either an orange sock, or a Cookie

Read for the TBR Reading Challenge Christopher Moore writes a great comic book. He can bring humor to situations usually better left touched only with great gravity and tack. I hate to say it, but I wasn’t feeling that so much with Coyote Blue. The premise is certainly a good one: a Crow Indian named

Well, now I know the summer has been flying along. It’s time again for Carl V’s R.I.P. Reading Challenge. (The mind boggles!) I’m going to do Peril the First this year. This involves reading four books out of any of the subgenres represented in the challenge, sometime between 9/1 and 10/31. I’ve actually been saving
