Notes:

CO 97 to start.

My cousin called a month or so ago and let us know that he and his wife are expecting their first child! Of course, I had to knit a blanket for them. Since we do not yet know if it will be a boy or girl, I wanted a pattern that is unisex. I found the Fire Side Chat Blanket by Molly Conroy. This blanket uses super bulky yarn, but I decided to use a worsted weight yarn held double to get a bulky weight and a use a smaller needle.

Instead of striping the colors per the pattern, I will be marling the colors together, inspired by the Marl-a-long hosted by Amy from the Stranded Podcast (she talks about it in this video) and my City Limits Sweater. I purchased 4 skeins of Lion Brand Pound of Love for this project.

Books: My Thoughts on Meltdown (Sevens #4) by Scott Wallens

Meltdown by Scott Wallens My rating: 3 of 5 stars I enjoyed this book a little more than the previous. I could connect a bit more with Jane on a personal level than I have been with the other characters. That is usually the case for me though when band is involved, as it is something that was a large part of my life for many years. Still having issues with the parents, however I am glad that it seems Jane is actually doing something to make her parents understand what she's feeling rather than just lashing out. A solid three star read for me though the story still hasn't wowed me. View all my reviews

Books: My Thoughts on Grim Reaper: End of Days

Grim Reaper: End of Days by Steve Alten My rating: 2 of 5 stars This was just ok for me. I suppose it wasn't the story I was expecting going in. It's a battle between good and evil with elements of spirituality and science, but there's a lot going on. There were many POVs and I felt like that made the story drag. This seems to be the start of a series per the last few pages in the book, but there have not been any subsequent novels published to date. I don't think I would've continued with this series if there were to be honest. This book did feel final enough for me in the epilogue. Though I didn't enjoy this book very much, I have been enjoying the author's MEG series a lot and will try other books by him in the future. View all my reviews

May Wrap Up: Novels | 2019

I'm finally situated in my new office! Lighting on this one is a bit funky, so I apologize. Just getting used to filming in a new area. This one wraps up the novels I read in May as well as the one I read in April. I've been doing Series Thoughts videos on manga series I've completed recently and am not sure if I want to wrap up the individual volumes I read in May or if I should wait to do Series Thoughts on those once I finish those series. If you have a preference, let me know below! Tim's channel (World of Sleuths) World of Sleuths Goodreads Group
