I got a lolly delivery yesterday.
A kilogram of mixed lollies, including mint leaves, which haven't been available in supermarkets for nine years. I might be more excited about the lollies that the knitting and reading, even though both have been going very well. This might be a lolly blog now!In reading, I realised that, since I actually don't really like Margery Allingham's work, I don't have to read the last book. That was a very liberating thought. I'm currently reading a NetGalley review copy of Inheritance by Genevieve Gannon , which is a rather marvellous book. Its two timelines - one in the immediate future where a woman is considering having a baby gene modified, and one thirty years later, where the impacts of gene modification are being felt. It's set in central Melbourne, which I love. It's a pandemic book, which was a bit of a surprise. It very well written and I would definitely rather be reading than working today.
After that I havea couple of review books - starting with The Red House Mystery by A.A. Milne, and then Frankie by Graham Norton. Those are my only September review books, but they are all publishing in early September.
In audio I finished The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley. I'm not sure I've ever listened to an audio book that quickly! I loved it, although it does fall apart a little at the end. I'm not sure what I'll listen to next - suggestions are welcome.
Knitting is chugging along - I've cast on a modified Alma cardigan for Elise, so that'll keep me busy for a few weeks.
I do love knitting with yarn I've dyed myself.
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.
I definitely feel your excitement for the lollys 😂 I get so excited when big batches get delivered. Not that we have had a delivery for ages 😂
