I'm not sure who I was kidding when I said it would be quiet now we're back from our various holidays. I'm not here for a quiet time, I'm here for a good time! Last week I managed one night at home (Wednesday, in case you were wondering) in between all my usual activities, a night at the theatre and some cabaret. Good times, spent with friends. Luckily I can knit, even when socialising. I'm working on the muka pullover, a plain tee with big, dramatic lace sleeves. I've got a way to go before I have to think about the sleeves!
In reading it was a big review week, but unfortunately not full of highly rated reads. I 3 starred a not particularly thrilling thriller Everyone in the Group Chat Dies by L.M. Chilton, and 2 starred a Audible Original Trap Line by Timothy Zahn, both of which were from NetGalley. Now I'm reading The Last Kabbalist of Lisbon by Richard Zimler, for the When am I reading? 2025 book challenge. It's very good, but also rather brutal. History is upsetting, you know?
Next up - I'm going to Sri Lanka in about a month, so I want to read some novels set there. I'm starting with Chinaman: The Legend of Pradeep Mathew by Shehan Karunatilaka, which Skip mentioned when I said Sri-Lanka. If you've read any good books set there, please let me know.
To read my all my book reviews, and to see everything I knit, you can find me on Ravelry as Sharondoubleknit and on GoodReads as Sharondblk.
I'm joining in with Kat from As Kat Knits for Unravelled Wednesday and Kat from the Bookdate for It's Monday, What Are You Reading. This week I'm also linking up with Sam from Taking on a World of Words for WWW Wednesday where we talk about what we are currently reading, what we have just finished and what we are going to read next.
History can be very upsetting. It's a shame that we can't learn from it 🙄
ReplyDeleteI hope that you enjoy your next reads and have a lovely holiday.
Have a great week!
