RYOB Books 10 and 11

Thursday, August 20, 2009

Day Watch by Sergei Lukyanenko


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Book 10 in RYOB challenge. It looks like this is the summer of vampires.

Such a great book. I found it better then Night Watch, though you have to read night watch before Day Watch. The ambiguity of good and evil is so intriguing.

Unlike Night Watch, which is told by Anton Gorodetsky this story is told by 3 different Dark Others. It gives the whole world of the others much more depth then was seen from the eyes of a light other.

These books are a must read for any fans of the fantasy genre.


Dead to the World by Charlaine Harris



Book 11 in RYOB challenge. I almost chose Twilight Watch instead, but these Sookie Stackouse books are such a quick read I'll read that one after.

New Sock Clubs

Monday, August 17, 2009

The First Sock club I have is America Coast to Coast. Each month you will receive a generous skein based on a natural American landmark. In addition to the yarn you will receive a postcard from the location the colorway is based on and a small notion, such as a stitch marker. The club will start in Oct and continue monthly throughout the year. You can find the club in my Etsy store.

The second club can be found exclusively through Purls of Wisdom yarn store. It will be another monthly club starting in Oct. The colorways will be based on famous quotes. All yarns will available the first of the month. There will a sit and knit around the club members where you can discuss your new yarn. Contact Purls to sign up and get more details, 303-805-3736.

All skeins for both clubs will be hand dyed by me and have at least 420 yards of yarn, enough to make a pair of adult socks. Most yarns will have a wool or animal fiber base. I am currently looking for a vegan sock option, so pm if you are interested and I will post a listing for a animal fiber free sock club.
