On My Reading List

I’ve had a really good weekend!    I finally got to watch the first few shows of Project Runway, Season 12.  I normally watch “drama” shows such as  “Suits”, “Covert Affairs”, “The Good Wife”, “The Mentalist”,” Elementary” etc. but I’m putting Project Runway right at the top with the rest of them!  Don’t know how I got into watching this show, but once I did I was hooked.  I record almost all of the shows I like, so I can watch them on weekends while I stitch or sew.  Are you hooked like me?

At night I like to read a good book, and on my reading list now is “The Cuckoo’s Calling” by Robert Galbraith, aka J.K. Rowling.   J.K. Rowling is just a great writer, no other way around it and I am loving this book.  I’m hoping she’ll have many, many more of these mysteries to come.  I can see this one being just the start of a series.  Her main character “Strike” is a loveable, down on his luck, private detective who I’d love to see in future books.   This is one book I’ll be sorry to finish reading.  I want it to go on and on!

The Cuckoo's Calling

Next on my reading list is a gift I just received in the mail.  Did you know we have a quilter among us who is also an author?   Deanna Dodson, writing as Julianna Deering has written “Rules of Murder”, the first in a series of books, and she sent me an advance copy.  I’m looking forward to reading her book!   It should be out in stores in just a few weeks.  Just think, when she’s not writing she’s quilting!  A great combo don’t you think?

 

Rules of Murder

I’ve also joined www.GoodReads.com. but I’m not sure what I’m doing.  I don’t have a single friend and don’t know if I should LOL.   Do any of you use GoodReads?  Is it worth the  time?  Let me know!

Towel update:  We finally have our Dunroven towels back in stock if you’ve been waiting for them.  These towels are so popular among crafters, that during certain times of year they are near impossible to find.  We’re going to try to keep a steady supply of these in stock, so you can make those last-minute gifts when you need to.  We have some cute patterns coming for these towels and we’re trying out a few other types of towels.   :>)

Have a good week everyone!

Back Soon!

    I got hooked on Project Runway when I had three different foot surgeries. I don’t watch soaps or talk shows — couldn’t sew or read books while high on OxyContin. So I found Project Runway when Christian Siriano won (I predicted it in a lucid moment). I went on to watch the three previous seasons as Bravo had a PW marathon. However, once I was back on my feet, I really didn’t pick it up again as I had three teenagers at home back then.

    I’m on Goodreads but like you, haven’t taken the time to figure it out — same with Pinterest. I’m just lucky to figure out Facebook!

    Project Runway is one of my favorites too. What do you think of Mr Sustainable/Recycle? The designers make it so interesting.

    I’m on Goodreads & mostly use it to see what friends are reading & what I might like to read next.

    Oh, thanks for the mention. Actually the book is in some stores now and available on Amazon. Should be everywhere on August 1st.

    I love to sew while watching movies and TV, too! I love to get a whole series on DVD or DVR and watch a season at one fell swoop. :D

    I’ll see if I can find you on Goodreads!
