Unravelled Wednesday - the one where I am still not sticking to any plan

 So, I did DNF  The Emergency, because I hated it. It was kind of wooden, and not very interesting. I got Scary Monsters by Michelle de Kretser from the library and started it. It's a book in two parts which can be read in either order - I remember when it was originally published the paper copies had one part starting on one side of the book - or turn it over and the other part starts from the other side of the book. The first half was very good - I am going through a bit of literary fiction by women stage. Anyway, just before we went away I found out that Empire of the Dawn the final volume of Jay Kristoff's Empire of the Vampire series has come out that very day. Unusually for me, at the end of part one of Scary Monsters I set it aside and starting this amazing 800 page epic finale to this brilliant series. I am loving it - vampires, quests, endless dark, battles, love and so many emotions!

After I finish this I'll go back to Scary Monsters (presuming my library loan hasn't run out).

In knitting I'm also drifting about a bit. On Monday night I finished my father's socks. Tuesday was trivia night, so I  cast on a quick charity baby hat.

I didn't want to establish and start knitting the colourwork for my next project Backlit by Stephanie Lotven, at the pub! I am really looking forward to starting that, which I am going to do in this pretty yarn, pretty much as soon as finish writing this. 

I'm also still knitting Joji's mystery shawl. Each clue is taking much of my weekend knitting, but it is very relaxing and enjoyable and purple. Click here for my Ravelry project, including spoilers. 

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 on BlueSky as Sharondblk.
