I fell a little behind on my #bookblanket with getting ready for vacation and then actually being on vacation. But here it is after completing the stripes to the end of April.
I am also now caught up to today right now, so at least that's one thing checked off of my to-do list

TheBookHippie Looks lovely!!! 3h
uncommonlycozies I love this SO much! So talented 🫶 Do the colors represent your ratings? 3h

This was a super cute, quick and fun read.
My only complaint is the overuse of eye rolling 🙄 mentioned every other paragraph for a bit. It was noticeable enough it actually took me out of the story.
I wish more of the old gang were in it, but it would have gotten too crowded; and the new characters were great.
I recommend this, especially if you liked the first one. #bookcover #grannysquare #readingblanket2025 #bookblanket

Caterina I'm so intrigued by your granny square reading blanket, but it sounds dangerously tempting - I'd need quite the array of yarn to try it out, and I already have too much! 🫣 I hope you post a finished pic at the end of the year! 1d

I really enjoyed this book. The picture puzzles were intriguing & the twists compelling. I sped through this book. I would have finished it in one go if I didn‘t have to work. 😁 I hate to use the word “fun” because there are some really bleak moments in this book, but it WAS fun to read.
Didn‘t have the perfect green, and it was a lighter weight so I added an additional round, but I still like this #grannysquare for my #bookblanket #doublespin

While this was not as good as the first one it still was delightful fun. I wish we could get books from the other women‘s perspectives, especially Nat; to me Billie is not as interesting as some of the others.

JamieArc I am listening to this now. I agree - the different women as narrators would make for a great series. 1mo

This was an okay short story. It was my #kindlefirst free pick for this month. I do like the square I made for it for for my #bookblanket though! 😁

Sace I really love these crochet with book cover posts. 🥰 2mo
Butterfinger @Sace I love them too. 2mo
peaKnit I think I‘m going to try this too. I did a temperature blanket last year, this would be a major scrap buster! I love yours! (edited) 2mo

Gissy Have you made a knitted booksleeve? I saw them in Instagram and they are so lovely. I am so bad in doing craft but I wish I could learn to do a booksleeve 😳, do you think is too complicated for a beginner? 2mo
MaleficentBookDragon @Gissy I made a crocheted one a few years back and it wasn‘t too difficult. If you are on Ravelry, I made a list of bookish patterns that I liked. There are sleeves in it. https://ravel.me/ChelleRydz/3ladtr 2mo
Gissy @MaleficentBookDragon thank so much! They look so pretty 😍 2mo
Gissy @MaleficentBookDragon thank you! 🥰 2mo

Sace Might I recommend a Wizard‘s Guide to Defensive Baking? 2mo
MaleficentBookDragon @Sace oh that sounds fun! 2mo
Sace It is a good one. I‘ve read it twice! I have Minor Mage on my TBR as well. 2mo
Sace Oh! And Bryony and Roses is one I read for #LMPBC years and years ago. It was a good read as well. 2mo

Low pick for me.
I thought this was going to be a 4 or 5 star read at first. Then halfway through it ran out of gas and the end was just annoying. There is no way Doug would act the way he did at the end. I thought it was building up to a something big, but it ended with a whimper.
It was a page turner though and I did speed through it and there were a few really interesting moments to reflect on.

Tamra Whimper end is the perfect way to describe it! 2mo
TheBookHippie Love the square! Not the book 😵‍💫🤦🏻‍♀️ 2mo

Finished this #HitchToScreen pick.
I‘ll admit I almost bailed before we ever got on the train.
I‘m glad I stuck around because the story was interesting and I really wanted to know of Miss Froy‘s fate…or if she existed at all.
I must say I struggled with the writing style a bit. I have a question for everyone that I‘ll put in a spoiler below.
The movie was pretty different and I have a thought I‘ll put in the spoilers below as well.

MaleficentBookDragon Did Iris have sunstroke or was she actually hit on the head? I was confused in the book. The movie made it much clearer. 📖 vs 🎥 (edited) 2mo
MaleficentBookDragon I didn‘t mind the whole romance in the movie, or the ditching of the sisters, the pastor and his wife, or even the crazy spy angle. But what I hated most that they changed for the movie was that the MAN was the one to figure out that Miss Froy was actually the patient and got to rip the bandages off her. Not cool Hitchcock! Not cool. 😡 📖 vs 🎥 (edited) 2mo
marleed I love the granny square. Are you creating squares for 2025? If so, I hope you post the quarter‘s worth at the end of March! 2mo
