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!
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?
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’m a librarian, follower of your blog, and also on Goodreads. I love it and definitely think it’s worth your time. I’ll look for you and send you a friend request. Be on the lookout!

I am on Goodreads also. I find it useful to find books to read. It helps to put in as many books as you have read and liked and then it will start suggestion books for you. Kinda works like Pandora does for music!

We love project runway over here too – though it was better in the early days, it’s still fun to watch.
I love GoodReads! I get great ideas for what to read next from my friends. Love the newsletters that give me even more ideas. If you record all the books you read it is fun to go back and see – unless unlike me you have a good memory. i’ve even signed up for some of their challenges like reading 100 books in a year or reading through the alphabet – read a book whose title starts with each letter though I think q or x could be any word in the title.
