It has been entirely too long since I updated. There are so many reasons: I've been sick, I've been busy learning to knit and reading and I've been swamped at work.
However, I do have some book reviews to share.
Dragonfly in Amber by Diana Gabaldon
I absolutely loved this book. If anything, I loved it more than Outlander. Jamie and Claire are the best couple I've read about in ages. I love Claire's fiery spirit and learning more about their lives together. I even cried a little toward the end! Of course, now I'm dying to dive into the third book.
Cross-X by Joe Miller
This is an engaging, though provoking story about high school debate and race. It's a great read.
Something Blue by Emily Giffin
This book is the sequel to Something Borrowed, but is told from the perspective of the best friend in that story. Though it was a tad predictable, I just loved it. It's a very sweet, happy story.
Stitch 'N Bitch: The Knitting Handbook by Debbie Stoller
This is my first knitting book and the perfect reference for getting started. It has had answers to every single one of my questions and better explanations of techniques than any other resource I've checked. It's full of cool, hip projects, too.
Yellowcake by Ann Cummins
It was okay. There wasn't much plot to it, though the characters were well developed and interesting. If you think it sounds good, give it a shot. Otherwise, I'd recommend you skip it.
The Partly Cloudy Patriot by Sarah Vowell
She is one of my favorite writers, and this is a perfect example of why I love her. She's witty, intelligent and kooky. These essay are a joy to read. I highly recommend this and any of her other books.
I've read 18 toward my 50 book goal for the year.
