It’s not often that you can actually sit down and read a craft book through, but the Knitter’s Book of Yarn is one that you can. It’s a very readable, very informative book.

Read for the Young Adult and Once Upon a Time II Reading Challenges. I’ve found a new fantasy series to follow. I’d almost bought The Naming and The Riddle (the second book in the series) last Christmas, based on the cover illustrations and short descriptions in the book. However, I was good, and once I

The full title of this book is Pride and Prescience (Or, A Truth Universally Acknowledged) – A Mr. & Mrs. Darcy Mystery. Yep, it’s a Jane Austen knock off. And it’s fun! I’d actually read the second book in this series first (long story), and had then promptly forgotten about it, until I went looking

Ok, a day late posting, but I was seized by the need for veggies last night, and made a fabulous pasta primavera with a goat cheese sauce. It was lovely and springy, and exactly what I needed last night.
Read for the Mythopeoic Award and Once Upon a Time II Challenges. I need to read more Peter Beagle. I’ve read The Last Unicorn, but it was long enough ago that I only remember the bare bones outline of the story. I picked up this book of short stories out of the Mythopoeic award list
