Linky Wednesday - the one where I make a decision

And the decision is that next year I'm going to number these posts, because I can't really find a theme each week. Strap in for a bunch on unthemed books and knitting! 

This has been a good week, in both reading and knitting. I've made (slow) progress on my Drawing Sweater. 

And rather faster progress on my Electric Village shawl - but it is one of those projects that stars with five stitches and grows from there, so I do not expect to maintain this level of growth.


Reading has also been good, I'm reading The Nix by Nathan Hill. 

I'm suddenly inspired to read all the books that are on my Goodreads "TBR" from 2017, and people have been talking about this book as Hill has just released his second book. This one is very good, although it is a lot. Multi-generational, detailed details and changing structures.
I've also been reading some non-fiction for non-fiction November and I will be back on Friday to tell you all about that.

After I finish my current book I'll be reading a review copy of Orbital by Samantha Harvey, but I think it will take me most of the week to finish The Nix, it's quite a big, dense book. 

I hope your reading (and making if you a re that way inclined) has been as satisfying as mine was this week!

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 to 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.

  3. Can't blame you for numbering your weekly posts. I use the date on mine so I don't have to track the number (especially since I don't do it each week). I just can't imagine trying to find a unifying theme each week.

  4. I like the colour of the sweater.

    Wishing you a great reading week

  5. Glad you're liking The Nix so far... it was a great read for me. I'm hoping to read his latest, Wellness, in early 2024. Have a great week!
