I'm happy to join Kat and fellow Unravelers for Unraveled Wednesday. Last Wednesday just didn't feel quite right without you, Kat, so I'm glad you're back! My peach yarn finally arrived, so I've been working on the Hitchhiker.
I have been reading some pre-publication copies from NetGalley. I need to read these promptly so I can review them before the publication date, and I requested a few too many. I finished The Raging Storm by Ann Cleeves, and it was four stars for me. It's the third satisfying installment in the DI Matthew Venn Two Rivers series, and I'm already looking forward to the next one. I've also got What an Owl Knows by Jennifer Ackerman, The Librarianist by Patrick deWitt, and Absolution by Alice McDermott queued on my Kindle, so I better get reading.
What are you making and reading this week?

I'm heading to Ricketts Glen State Park for a long weekend so I've got some reading and knitting time in the car. I'll be back here next week, hopefully with a few waterfall photos to share!
Ooo! Have a great long weekend! A Hitchhiker is the perfect travel knit! I was so excited to be approved to read Margaret Renkl's new book, The Comfort of Crows! Happy reading to YOU and me!
ReplyDeletehave fun at the park, I've been there numerous times and it's always a delight!! Love your hitchhiker.
ReplyDeleteI love the new yarn and can't wait to see that Hitchhiker finished! Like Kat, I also got approved for Margaret Renkl's new book on NetGalley, though I'm still waiting to hear on a couple from some big name authors. In the meantime, I'm working my way through the Women's Prize shortlist.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time at the state park -- looking forward to the photos!
Love the peach addition to your Hitchhiker! Our friends/neighbors Rob & Eva are heading to Ricketts Glen for the weekend too!! They will be tent camping (Eva has never camped before!!). Enjoy your long weekend and the waterfalls.
ReplyDeleteI love the every 10th row eyelets. That is a very pretty Hitchhiker!
ReplyDeleteJust so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cathy!
DeleteThat peach yarn is really enhancing your hitchhiker! So, are you camping this weekend at that state park?!?
ReplyDeleteThat peach yarn matches perfectly!! Have a fun get-away!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful time on your long weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debbie!
DeleteWhat lovely yarn, Bonny! That's going to be a fabulous Hitchhiker! And my knitting always takes a back seat to getting the garden going in May. There are only so many hours in the weekend! XO (I just finished The Librarianist today; will be eager to hear your thoughts.) (And I really liked Absolution. . . )
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the long weekend at the park. The peach looks like it was made for your Hitchhiker. Happy Mother's Day.
ReplyDeleteoh that solid peach is so pretty to finish out the shawl; I always love seeing how you tweak the pattern to make each shawl unique! And what a lot of books (that I haven't heard of!); I've been looking forward to the new Ann Cleeves' series - if #3 is near publication, this is the perfect time to start it. and it seems perfect for summer, too. Have a great trip ... and time away - look forward to catching up with you next week.
