I knit, I spin, I read, I run, I hike, I camp, I bake, I make earrings, i review things on the internet. I write about the things I do (mainly reading and knitting) at https://sharondoubleknit.blogspot.com/
I just read and reviewed the audiobook of Little One by Olivia Muenter. I'm not sure my review fully demonstrates how compelling and interesting this cult based novel is. Just a really good book that I highly recommend.

I run 33 KMs at a backyard ultra, while aiming for 46. @headfreak.bsky.social ran a rather ridiculous 80kms. Our friend and crew member Skip made a video about it.

We spent the night in Brimbank Park, running a backyard ultra. When dawn came we heard magpies singing and kookaburras laughing. As we were packing up these noisy mynahs came eat any crumbs they could find.

This tie is so flimsy and the colours so dull that you can barely see the edge tessalations on the individual shapes.

Redemption River is the 3rd book in the Carter Brothers series. I love well written, 3rd person, closed door romance. This is about family, community and finding yourself & that's why I loved this. I do recommend reading the other 2 first they are also excellent. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This year mark the 40th anniversary of the film Labyrinth. Today I saw it in the theatre. So good. I also read, recommend and reviewed a book about it. Good book, boring cover.

Sharondblk's review of It's Only Forever
4/5: There are many ways to present a movie book. Some are overly technical or academic for my tastes, others are rehashed gossip from secondary sources. This one hits the right notes (for me) by containing facts, but overtly interpreted through the authors personal lens. in this case the lens in gender and sexuality, although the book is in no way limited to that. It roams around the 80s, comparing labyrinth to other films of the time (and has inspired me to look at some of those, including Legend, which i had managed never to see). I learnt stuff, i felt stuff and i enjoyed. if Jess Battis wro...
