Unravelled Wednesday - The one without a theme

The title says it all. The knitting, reading and listening are all going well, but I can't find anything to tie them together. Or anything else that is noteworthy about this week. Sometimes ordinary is good.

The knitting has certainly been good:

I've just finished the last lace panel on Waiting For Rain. It's hard to see it, all squished together like that but I think it might be quite large.It has been a pleasure to knit, so far. Soothing garter stitch rows interrupted by fun lace inserts. And the whole thing is only made more fun by being in my own handspun.

While I knit I've been listening to the free audible book for the month The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab.

France, 1714: in a moment of desperation, a young woman makes a Faustian bargain to live forever and is cursed to be forgotten by everyone she meets.

Thus begins the extraordinary life of Addie LaRue, and a dazzling adventure that will play out across centuries and continents, across history and art, as a young woman learns how far she will go to leave her mark on the world.

But everything changes when, after nearly 300 years, Addie stumbles across a young man in a hidden bookstore and he remembers her name.

I was stoked when this was February's free book. She is an author I had been thinking about trying and it's fantasy (or urban fantasy), which keeps me on track for my "read more fantasy and sci-fi" plan. So far I'm loving it. great narrator, interesting plot. I'm very curious about where it is all going.  

I'm reading a NetGalley review copy of The Buy In by Emma St Clair, a new to me romance author.

This book has all the things I like in a romance. It's sweet, the plot makes sense. the hero and heroine have lives, and I do love a small town romantic comedy. It's also well written and has grammar jokes.  I'm only about half way, but so far I recommend.

When a family of former pro football players buy a small Texas town, they didn't intend to start a war with its residents ... or to fall in love.

Ever since his career-ending injury, Pat has bounced from job to job, idea to idea, short-lived relationship to short-lived relationship. But when his father purchases the town of Sheet Cake, Pat suddenly sees his life with clear purpose: get his brothers on board with his dad's wild idea and win back the one woman who got away.

Lindy was supposed to be traveling the world, not stuck in a small town, caring for her niece. But she would do anything to keep custody of Jo--even if that looks like a marriage of convenience with the man who already broke her heart once.

Now if she can only keep herself from falling back in love with her husband...

And that's my week in reading and knitting. 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.
