This week in reading I finished Bananapants (review here, I was a bit meh about it) and started a NetGalley review copy of Lavie Tidar's Six Lives. I've only just started, so I can't talk about the plot, but I do like the way he writes.
Next up, another review book due in September. Inheritance by Genevieve Gannon a near future sci-fi about designer babies.I was at knit night on Monday, chatting about picking up stitches for heels when Brent (Brentusfirmus on Ravelry ) started waxing rhapsodic about how he does his sock heels. When I started taking notes he emailed me the pattern. So, I'm knitting a sock (I only just started, it's a while until the heel) I've nicked the cable from the Rose Cardigan, and I'm knitting it "inside out", so knitting when the purl side is going to be the public side. I've worked out how to cable on the wrong side, not something anyone usually does! It's all good fun.
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 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.
Six Lives is in my TBR pile for this month. I thought his novel Adama, which was the first book of his I'd read, was excellent so I'm looking forward to this one.
ReplyDeleteThis is very different from Adama. Good in a different way.
