...and by that I mean I'm reading two thrillers, nothing else especially exciting is going on.
I'm reading Call Me Elizabeth Lark by Mellissa Colastini. It's an e-Arc from Netgalley. Look at that cover!
Unfortunately at this stage (I'm half way through) it doesn't make a lot of sense. The premise is that an eight year old, Charlotte goes missing and then "returns" twenty years later, calling herself Elizabeth. The mother decides Elizabeth is Charlotte, she never denies it and that's the set up. It's very far-fetched and the author isn't really taking me along with it. There are too many co-incidences and weaknesses (for example and with only minor spoilers, Elizabeth returns to the cabin where she lived for five and looks in the safe, to get her ID and finds some other surprising things. The book has already stated that she was often left alone there, so why didn't she look in there before?) Also I just don't care what happens. I'm going to have to DNF, which I really hate doing with review books. It's either that or force myself to read, and I have better things to do (and read) than to spend time with a book where people understand how other people are feeling by looking in their eyes.
I'm listening to The Wife and the Widow by Christian Lark. It was the free Audible book for February, and it's a solid, twist thriller.
I'm pretty sure it was a bad idea to be reading and listening two twisty psychological thrillers at the same time, and I'm not sure how that happened. Oh well.I'm knitting the colour stacking cowl that Stephanie Purl-McPhee described on her Patreon. I was kind of knitting it for Elise, but I don't think these colours are very her. I think I'll donate this to KOGO and knit something specifically for Elise. I just really wanted to make this cowl.

As it's Wednesday, I'm joining in with Kat from As Kat knits for Unravelled Wednesday, where we get together and chat about what we are knitting, crafting and reading.
Ooo! Those colors in that cowl are just lovely! (and I hear you on reading more than one twist and turn novels... hard to keep them straight!)
