Month: September 2012

Sunday Salon: Reading and Baking

by athena // 30 September, 2012 // 10 Comments
Hello! I am still reading Gone with the Wind. I am now over one third done it, but to be honest, I have been so busy these last two weeks that I haven’t really had a lot of time to... Continue reading →

Booking Through Thursday – Carry-ons

by athena // 27 September, 2012 // 11 Comments
This week on Booking through Thursday: Do you bring the book(s) you’re reading with you when you go out? How? Physically, or in an e-reader of some kind? Have your habits in this regard changed? (I know I carried books... Continue reading →

Sunday Salon: Gone with the reading

by athena // 23 September, 2012 // 10 Comments
Hello, Sunday! Just a quick entry to say that I did start Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell this week. I am at 17% on my Kindle reading of it. I am enjoying it and finding Scarlett quite tolerable... Continue reading →

FO Friday: Girasole

by athena // 21 September, 2012 // 4 Comments
This project took me almost four months to complete. Unlike some knitters, I knit wool through the summer. I once made my Hemlock Ring Blanket, another Jared Flood pattern, in early summer too. I can bare heat pretty well. I... Continue reading →

Booking Through Thursday – Quick

by athena // 20 September, 2012 // 7 Comments
This week on Booking Through Thursday: Quick–what are you reading right now? (Other than this question on this website, of course.) Would you recommend it? What’s it about? Shamefully, I haven’t read anything in a week. Too busy at work... Continue reading →

Sunday Salon: Hobbies

by athena // 16 September, 2012 // 4 Comments
This week I read Venetia by Georgette Heyer. I still need to start Gone with the Wind and catch up to my library books, but I’m too busy today to read. Argh. I have been very busy with work, life... Continue reading →

Venetia by Georgette Heyer

by athena // 15 September, 2012 // No Comments
This is one of the most popular Heyer books. I debated between 3 to 4 stars on GoodReads because while I think it is one of the most well written of her works, I found myself not particularly engrossed in... Continue reading →

Booking Through Thursday – Organization

by athena // 13 September, 2012 // 10 Comments
On Booking Through Thursday this week: How do you organize/store your books? Do you go through them often? Or do you pretty much just shelve them and then leave them alone until you need them? The second. I roughly organize... Continue reading →

WIP Wednesday: Stashbusting Lopi

by athena // 12 September, 2012 // 8 Comments
Last week, my first ever yarn/sock club purchase came in the mail from Hazel Knits Yarn Club. I have been waiting for this package for almost a month. Actually, if you factor in the fact I bought the early bird,... Continue reading →

Sunday Salon: Pre-Autumn

by athena // 9 September, 2012 // 12 Comments
Hello! It rained all of yesterday which was lovely for sleep and relaxing. I spent it catching up to “Celebrity Masterchef” (UK) and watching The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (recommended). This week, I read Where we belong by Emily Giffin... Continue reading →

Arabella by Georgette Heyer

by athena // 7 September, 2012 // No Comments
This was delightful. I haven’t read a Heyer novel in a month and maybe I missed her, but this is one of my favourite of her novels. This classic Heyer: most eligible yet indifferent dandy bachelor gets enthralled with an... Continue reading →

Booking Through Thursday – School Books

by athena // 6 September, 2012 // 12 Comments
This week on Booking Through Thursday: We all had to read things in school that we didn’t like … but what about something you read for a class that you ended up liking (or loving)? An author you discovered that... Continue reading →
