The Day the World Came to Town by Jim Defoe.

Independent bookstores have been getting my money this month. A first visit to Powell's, Portland, OR last Sunday. Today's fun was at Invitation Bookshop, Gig Harbor.

🧶 a bit of squishy love arrives each month, I look forward each month to what color combos will arrive to inspire sock creation or maybe something else? (#Fancy Image Yarn sock yarn of the month).
✅ Library Sock books on hold
Thank you Myra for the monthly fun! I love the color combos

Beautiful colors Myra! I gifted the fingerless mitts knitted in Seahawk colors to our Fantasy FB league this week. In total, 8 pairs, with 1 in Dodger colors & Kansas City colorway.

💙📚💙just finished reading The Retreat by Krysten Ritter. It was a quick read, twist and turns. If you enjoyed Tangerine by Christine Mangan; The Talented Mr. Ripley by Patricia Highsmith; Who Is Maud Dixon? By Alexandra Andrews, you might enjoy. The retreat.

Finished a pair of fingerless mitts 🧶 Knitted. #Fancyimage DK wt washable merino.

Beautiful work! Knitting definitely calms me as well as devouring tales of other worlds, adventures & mystery. Anything that helps keep the equilibrium and recharges my mental batteries! I'm about to finish the match on a pair of fingerless mitts

Not so far fetched of a reality now. Jennifer Government by Max Barry. I read this 20+ years ago? Loved the snarky dialog and situations. After delighting in the snarky, it evolved into an Ohhh, some of this is actually being proposed! 20 years later pretty much on point for what is evolving now!

I've started a new read. First line: "My father kept a dragon eye upon his desk."
