Whew! Talk about being tardy! I have been battling my blog site because I haven't been able to post since my last entry. I discovered I had to go back to Firefox 2 browser (from version 3). But discovering this solution has taken me this long.
So Sample Sale....my project samples have been building up and I need to make room for new ones. If you see anything you like, please send a quote for shipping. I will include how to pay (I use paypal or certified cheques).
On another note, I have been stumped on the baby shawl for a while now, but think I have finally broken the block. All it needed was concerted effort and a huge amount of time (which I didn't have until recently). The baby book is close to being "born". I am being smarter about the process for book #2 and it's all in the prepare. Having most of the work done with a tight deadline is a nice place to be.
On the Wilson Ave Book Club update - out of 10:
9/10
I thoroughly enjoyed this read. Quirky. Funny enough, Trish loaned me a copy that Steve's puppy chewed the cover off of. I sat on the GO Train while reading it and the state of the cover (or lack of) totally suited the storyline.
8/10
A much easier read than Michael's earlier works (which were equally as good - English Patient is an all time fav of mine). The ending could have been different for me, but well worth the read.
8/10
NOT BOOK CLUB
I heard this was a great read and I had never read Jodi Picoult before. Not exactly high brow but wow, what a great storyteller! I am now a fan have have purchased 2 more of her books - you'll see them here eventually too.
7/10
NOT BOOK CLUB
I love the idea of this book and the absolute heroism of Greg Mortenson. It will warm your hearts.
4/10
Sorry Elizabeth - but I couldn't wait to finish this book (in a bad way). If it weren't for pressure from the book club to read, I would have given up on it much earlier. I felt there should have been more character building and less of the dull landscape of the Canadian North barrens. Unless you are an avid canoer, be prepared to doze while reading.
7/10
I thought this was a wonderful debut novel about the long love affair of Frank Lloyd Wright and Mamah Borthwick. Whether you are a fan of Frank's work or a sucker for romance, Loving Frank will surely please.
9/10
Yay!!!! I loved ready this book, What a gem! I have a thing for elephants so while I totally enjoyed Barbara Gowdy's "The White Bone" (another 9/10), the book club didn't (still can't belive that!). but we all loved Water for Elephants.
Here are the upcoming book club titles (and my new Jodi Picoult's). I promise to give an more in depth review next time:
