Unravelled Wednesday and WAYRN - the one with Kindle Unlimited again

I've rejoined Kindle Unlimited.  I do that periodically - I think I did a free month in 2017, and then a discount 3 months at the beginning of 2020, and then 3 free months when I bought my Kindle Oasis in 2020. Elise recommended an urban fantasy series and I saw that there was a John Birmingham series I hadn't read in KU I looked up the current deals and got 6 months at half price. it's just not worth it for me at $13 a month, but not I only have to read one or two KU books a month to make it worthwhile. So, I started with Dragons Don't Eat Meat by Kim McDougall

Look at that cover! The book itself is fine. It's quite light, but also trying to address big issues. It's sort of trying to do too much I think. 

If you have any Kindle unlimited recomm




endations please let me know in the comments.

Knitting has been toddling along. For reasons, I have been making Leon a bonus winter set. I'm almost finished, just the mitts to go, but I'm free-styling the pattern, which is always an interesting time!

If you come back on Friday, I'll show you the completed set and also tell the full story.

And that's what I'm knitting and reading right now. 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. 

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.  Thanks Kat and Kat for hosting these linkups.

    I marvel at the people who are able to make good use of Amazon Unlimited. I have so many books already, I don't know that I'd read enough to make it worth my while. Then again, maybe I'd stop buying books if I used that program.

    Sorry your current book isn't more to your liking. Hope you enjoy your next one more.

    I've never tried Kindle Unlimited. I already have thousands of books to read and don't think I'd be able to make it worthwhile. Besides, my Audible subscription and Prime subscription are enough subscriptions for me. Come see my week here. Happy reading!

    I have Kindle Unlimited but haven't read from it in quite a while. I have plans to...sigh.

Linky Wednesday - the one with the pause

In meditation it's said that the pause between the in breath and the out breath is a gap, a space to rest. Well, I'm in that in-between space for reading, listening and knitting. This is a random photo of a highlight of my week - I filled up my lolly jar. These are just supermarket party mix. During the lockdowns, we sources a great pick-and-mix delivery service, but at some point they started sending from the UK, which is a bit silly. Rachey messaged me a new one she found, and I impulsed purchased a kilo of mixed lollies, and then she sent me a link to the biggest lolly shop in Melbourne, which also delivers sweets by the kilogram, so i think I'm sorted for the rest of the year!  In reading I've just finished  The Beckoning Lady   by Margery Allingham . It's the second last book in the Summer of Mystery, and I have to admit, having now read nine Margery Allingham books, that they are OK. I wouldn't have read them if they were not connected to this club, but on...

Geogradiant MKAL Part 1 - that was unexpected (spoilers)

Stephen West released the first MKAL clue on Thursday night. I started knitting it without looking at spoilers. When I got up on Friday he had sent through an "alternative" clue one. I then went and had a look at the spoiler thread to try to work out what was going on. Which was that some people thought the pattern looked like a "German hate symbol". I knit on anyway, since I was half-way through. Then he took down the original clue, replacing it with a mitred square in garter stitch. The Ravelry forums and Instagram are a complete shit-show, even though Rav is being moderated. It's been a bit disheartening, having something that is usually quite light and fun weighed down with all this. I admire Stephen's quick and sensitive response to this drama. I also feel that anything can look like anything if you squint. To me this looks like a Celtic knot. I think mine is pretty, and I'll knit on through all crises.

Linky Wednesday - welcome to sOctober

Happy sOctober to those who celebrate. This week's reading was a bit of a mixed bag.  I read a review copy of  The Day He Disappeared   by Catherine Miller , although I ended up skim reading it because it was a very tedious book. Poorly written, repetitious, predictable and boring. Now I'm reading  The End of the Playboy by Harlin Hailey  which is a sort of midlife crisis Hollywood satire. Or a reflection on aging and society, I'm not sure which. I am enjoying it though.  Then I've got two more review books, the Amazon Original short story  When We Were Friends by Jane Green    And  Bad Reputation by Emma Barry A romance that I requested purely on the basis of that cover! In audio I decided to finally try  Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke  because it's 34 hours long and I felt like I was getting through my credits too fast. I'm enjoying it - it feel like the sort of book that is better on audio. After I s...
