I am a big fan of hoopla and libby and read/listen to about 60-80 books a year. I also own a ton, but now really only purchase if I find a good deal, thrift, or just loved the book. Anyone have an app they love that keep tracks of books you have read in total, read this year, but also one I can add what books I own so when I am out and about I don't duplicate?
I am ready to block my first couple items, granny squares and a baby blanket. The granny squares came out great and as I was about to do the blanket I wondered how I would wash it. If I just have to get the yarn wet and then allow it to dry on my blocking mat, would I need to do this every time I wash it? This can’t be the case because I can’t imagine people block the same sweaters constantly. I have to be missing something…..
I have zero shame for how much I enjoy historical romance books, and talk about them to my husband and friends all the time. I do wonder how a book club would be with strangers and what is talked about. We know the Duke will end up with the governess, the Earl will realize he is missing out on life by keeping his heart cold, and the widow will find her true love after an arranged marriage and so forth. Do we sit there and discuss how much we liked when the MC pushed the FC against the wall, the first time a Lady saw her husband naked, how we liked his smouldering eyes and growls? Someone tell me I am thinking way to much into this because I do like the idea of a book club.
