Anne Lamott is a favourite of mine, and I think I will start her book next.<br /><br />My 2019 book list is not very long yet (only 1 book completed), but I'm hoping to have a full, varied and interesting list by the end of the year :)<br /><br />I've read many of the Mitford books in the past and enjoyed them. I didn't make it to the end of the series though :)<br /><br />It's so frustrating when knitting (or crochet) needs some 'adjusting. I've just undone nearly a whole jumper I was knitting for myself, because I decided I didn't like it. But I have a new design in mind (stay tuned for info on blog...) and am itchin' to get started on it :)<br /><br />Nice to meet you too :) Stay in touch... xxLyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05372513528828334944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967502976418632583.post-27462791093571583832019-01-26T02:18:28.034+11:002019-01-26T02:18:28.034+11:00What a great idea to keep a list of books for the ...What a great idea to keep a list of books for the year!! Early enough that I can do this. Thank you. <br /><br /> Thank you too for the Ann Lamott recommendation. I have been reading Jan Karon's Mitford/Father Tim series. Last year I found the first in a Free Library box (love those!!), actually it was book 3 and came to more sense when I started from the beginning. Thankful God blessed me with that book #3.And now am nearing the end, think book 16 currently with only a few more to go. I have so enjoyed them.<br /><br /> Your knit and crochet projects are lovely. I have been working on a baby knit sweater, but need to do some frogging as I messed up back a few rows.<br /><br />Nice to meet you.❤<br /><br />Kimmie<br />Mama to 8<br />One homemade and 7 adopted Kimmiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04462108880167593207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967502976418632583.post-76325310225851047452019-01-23T12:41:30.033+11:002019-01-23T12:41:30.033+11:00Hi Cheryl!

Guess you just have to read it for yourself and decide :)<br /><br /><br />I've finished 2 little sweaters in the self patterning yarn and really enjoy knitting with it (wish I could say the same about the sewing up!). I'm now continuing to work on number 3. xxLyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05372513528828334944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967502976418632583.post-83478689266568865482019-01-22T22:53:52.118+11:002019-01-22T22:53:52.118+11:00Another book to add to my book list to check out f...Another book to add to my book list to check out from the Yarn Along.

I enjoy his character analysis too, and the unexpected twists and turns in the plot.<br /><br />I also read A Man Called Ove a few years ago, and enjoyed it, but didn't enjoy the film they made from it so much.<br /><br />Another one of his that is good is Britt-Marie Was Here.<br /><br />Happy reading! xxLyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05372513528828334944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967502976418632583.post-35576691660557536402019-01-09T14:51:00.983+11:002019-01-09T14:51:00.983+11:00Happy New Year to you to Lisa!

I am enjoying Bear Town, it is a dark story. My first Fredrik Backman was A Man Called Ove, a sweet, funny, tale. I think it is a sign of a good author who can write such different styles of stories. Backman is really good at spoon feeding us each characters story so we slowly learn what motivates their actions. I enjoy his approach of the slowly unfolding story, bringing us into it from all angles yet keeping the plot moving forward.<br /><br />Good stuff.<br /><br />BeanBeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14484707482492844677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967502976418632583.post-26716915040628986912019-01-08T05:41:37.787+11:002019-01-08T05:41:37.787+11:00Happy New Year, Lynda!
