pickMy January 2025 #Bookspin and #Doublespin wintery picks are done and dusted.
Both were solid reads that made the cold and snow characters in the stories.
Neither knocked my socks off but I enjoyed reading both.
The tagged book was a #netgalley arc, so thanks to them for giving me a copy of the book for an honest review.
That‘s 2 more stripes on Rebecca my knitted #ReadingSnake (horror and thriller)

Chelsea.Poole This is great! 2w
MaleficentBookDragon @Kitta I usually read between 52-63 books a year. I used a pattern for her head called Sweet Little Snake. It‘s free on Ravelry and I modified it to use DK weight yard to make her a little bigger. My inspiration is this woman‘s snake (she will be coming out with a pattern soon). https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4JSt_VvWUv/?igsh=ZTZja3FkZGZoZm1r 2w
MaleficentBookDragon @Booksblanketsandahotbeverage thanks. I like her too. I made mistakes on her head but it‘s good enough for me. Maybe the stitches will smooth out if I steam block her. I was too impatient to block her, wait to dry , and then start the stripes. 2w
Booksblanketsandahotbeverage She looks great to me :) 🐍 Gives her character 2w
Kitta @MaleficentBookDragon amazing thanks! I‘ll look up the pattern. I feel think this would be more manageable than the reading tracking blankets I‘ve seen. I read around a book a week and was curious at how many rows per book you were doing. 2w
MaleficentBookDragon @Kitta I‘m doing 5 rows for each book and 2 rows of the body color in between them. 2w
