Kitta Oh yay! That‘s great I‘ll save it to my ravelry. 4d
Kitta Is the magic loop method hard? I usually use dpns but I don‘t have the right size right now. 4d
MaleficentBookDragon @Kitta I cannot used DPNs. I am not coordinated enough. I used to do magic loop but I tended to get laddering. I found a great alternative. I use FlexiFlips. They are the best of both. I use them for all small circumference knitting. https://youtu.be/IgzMgqT-2Qs 4d
Kitta @MaleficentBookDragon oooh I‘ll check those out! 4d
MaleficentBookDragon @Kitta they are not cheap but I love them. I‘ve also used HiyaHiya Flyers. The metal ones are SHARP, if you like sharper tips. If you get them let me know if you like them. They were a game changer for me. 4d

Last year, for my birthday, I got my 4th round of chemo 😔. Needless to say, my birthday was a bust. This year, to make up for it, my husband took me on a bookstore tour in the St. Paul/Minneapolis area. We hit 5 bookstores, including this gem: Story Line Books, housed in St. Paul's Union Depot. With a subtle train theme, the charm of the historic train station, and a wonderfully curated selection, this was a great stop! #supportindiebookstores

Ruthiella Sending you happy birthday wishes! 🥳🥳🥳 Definitely an improvement over last year. ❤️ 1w

I wish Goodreads let you add private notes to your TBR. I add so many books that I know I'll only read if I'm in a specific mood or bc a specific person recommended it, and I'd love to note that somewhere!

Caroline2 Me too!!!! 🙋‍♀️ 4w
Booksblanketsandahotbeverage I think they have that on Storygraph.. (adding private notes) 4w
ChaoticMissAdventures @Booksblanketsandahotbeverage I think you can only note in it on SG once you mark it as currently reading (then the journal button pops up) But it does give you tags you can mark at anytime and already tells you the "mood" of the book 4w

Ruthiella Maybe set up a shelf for each mood? 4w
xicanti LibraryThing has this option! Even non-private comments are pretty unobtrusive, too. 4w
ShyBookOwl @Booksblanketsandahotbeverage @ChaoticMissAdventures Oooh good to know! The mood tag could help 4w
ShyBookOwl @Ruthiella That could work! Thx 😊 4w
ShyBookOwl @xicanti Never heard of that but definitely looking it up right now! 4w
Daisey Once you‘ve shelved a book in Goodreads, you should be able to if accessing on a computer. I can add private notes by clicking “Edit my activity” from the book‘s page after it‘s shelved or from the My Books page if notes are check marked to be visible. 4w
ShyBookOwl @Daisey 😯 cool!! I'll check that out 4w

This book is such a hidden gem!

It showcases 50 different “hidden” libraries from all around the world (plus outer space). Every library profile tells you how to find it (if applicable, some are no longer around and some are not open to the public). Also, all the photos have captions which I appreciated.

I've been organizing my storygraph challenges this weekend and decided to make one to track my reads for #QueerBC
If anyone else participating wants to join, here's the link:

Also a Christmas book - this is the book I wish I could've written! Oh well, I can still emulate the research!

I read 154 books this year! At the beginning of the year I started drawing the spines in my book journal with a stack for each month & am proud to say I kept it up all year long. I‘m definitely going to continue to do this in 2025 as I love the way these pages turn out… plus it‘s good practice for my art.

In the middle of 2 more books but I don‘t know if I will finish them today. Might wait to post my StoryGraph wrap-up tomorrow just in case.

Julsmarshall So gorgeous! 1mo
