Wife Between Us | Sarah Pekkanen, Greer Hendricks

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. 🥰 2w

Butterfinger @Sace I love them too. 2w

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) 2w

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? 2w

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 2w

MaleficentBookDragon @Gissy this one looks pretty basic https://ravel.me/book-sleeve-2 2w

Gissy @MaleficentBookDragon thank so much! They look so pretty 😍 2w

Gissy @MaleficentBookDragon thank you! 🥰 2w

Sace Might I recommend a Wizard‘s Guide to Defensive Baking?

MaleficentBookDragon @Sace oh that sounds fun! 2w

Sace It is a good one. I‘ve read it twice! I have Minor Mage on my TBR as well.

Minor Mage

Sace Oh! And Bryony and Roses is one I read for #LMPBC years and years ago. It was a good read as well.

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! 2w

The Lady Vanishes: Bloomsbury Film Classics | Ethel Lina White

so-so

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) 3w

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) 3w

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! 3w

pick

Books 9 & 10. Two funny and relaxing little reads with some great #bookblanket color opportunities.
My squares are a bit crooked and wonky, but I‘m hoping that this year long project will help me improve my crocheting.
Plus , that 💩 will block right out. 😹😹😹

MaleficentBookDragon Also a fun pick!

Adrift in Currents Clean and Clear | Seanan McGuire

pick

This is now in my top three Wayward Children books. This one was delightful and sad, like most of this series. I 🥰🥰🥰 this series do much.
Check out these novellas, you won‘t regret it. McGuire/Grant is a must buy author for me.🥰
My only complaint is that they are so short.
I like the way this #grannysquare came out for my #bookblanket2025

Granny-Square Crochet | Catherine Hirst

And because I can‘t just do one thing…. I‘m jumping on the bandwagon.
In addition to Rebecca the knittted #booksnake, I‘m #crocheting granny squares in the colors of each book cover of the books I read this year. I‘ve always wanted a colorful scrappy granny square #bookblanket and I figured this was a great way to do it. #hookersoflitsy #bookblanket2025 #litsycrafters

Balibee146 Awesome.... I crocheted a little 40 years ago.... I tried to follow a YouTube total beginner granny square tutorial last week.... Lol... Didn't go well. These are lovely. 2mo

ChaoticMissAdventures That is an amazing idea! How much fun! 2mo

julesG Noooooo, why??? Now I want to make Granny Squares too. But I have seven (7!!!) works-in-progress lying around. 2mo

MaleficentBookDragon @AmyG oh, I‘m not very good. I‘ve attempted crochet for over 40 years with no luck, but now I‘m starting get some things. And I enjoy doing it even if they don‘t look great. 2mo

MaleficentBookDragon @Balibee146 I learned a lot from Fiber Flux on YouTube. @fiberflux?si=rpW9Z77Feze4CSer" rel="nofollow" target="_top">https://youtube.com/@fiberflux?si=rpW9Z77Feze4CSer 2mo

MaleficentBookDragon @julesG I‘m right there with you. I keep wanting to start new things but haven‘t finished any of my wips. 2mo

BookishMadHatter It's already looking great. I have a blanket started with granny squares using scrap yarn, one that's using cotton scraps thats Granny stitch and double crochet, and then my book blanket that I make doing one row per book based on length lol 2mo

BookBelle84 I'm currently in a learn to crochet class just for this purpose! 2mo

kwmg40 That's such a great idea! 2mo

Amiable What a fabulous idea! I used to know how to crochet but have gotten rusty. I should take a class to learn again. 2mo
