This completely delightful book finds a group of sheep in France with their shepherdess when a deer is found horrifically killed in the woods. The sheep try to solve the mystery while protecting their own flock. It‘s so cute and fun, and the translator really did a marvelous job.

Soubhiville This sounds unique! Did your mom like it too? 2w

Aims42 This was a great read!! I hope there‘s a third book, I‘m not done with Miss Maple🤞 2w

Hooked_on_books @Aims42 I would love a third book!! And a fourth, and a fifth, and 🤭🐑🐑🐑 2w

Hooked_on_books @Soubhiville She loved it! We had both already read the first book, Three Bags Full, and loved that, too. It‘s not necessary to have read it for this one, but both are a lot of fun. 2w

Themes: Sleuthing Sheep‘s, Fun characters and great storytelling

This was Book 2 in the “Sheep Detective” series and it was just as great as Book 1 (“Three Bags Full”). I love this series, and I hope there‘s more from Miss Maple, Mopple the Whale, Sir Ritchfield, and Heather too!

This was such a creative, fun read! There were a few passages that transitioned kinda rough; I‘m not sure if that‘s a result of it being translated or if that was intentional. All in all, a fun read and I can‘t wait for Book 2 to publish later this spring!! ***CORRECTED AFTER POSTING*** Pictured here are some of the main characters: Othello, Miss Maple, the flock consisting of Heather, Maude, Zora, and finally Mopple the Whale.

Vanishing Fleece: Adventures in American Wool | Clara Parkes

I'm shocked I haven't heard of this book until now. As a handspinner myself, I was pretty familiar with the subject matter. That said, I still learned a lot along the way. I enjoyed her writing and thoughts and reflections on the industry. And yes, this is just a fraction of my own wool stash. The grey in the middle is jacob wool that is slated to become a sweater. My daughter is going to knit it for me once I'm finished spinning it.

julesG ❤️❤️❤️ I'm admiring your stash. And now I want to find my drop spindle and buy some yarn. 3mo

julesG Fleece!!! My brain was already thinking of yarn and knitting 3mo

bookishbitch @JulesGreads I understand! My brain does that too. What kind of drop spindle do you use? 3mo

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm Fiber stash! 😍 I‘ve been knitting more than spinning lately but now I too am itching to dig out one of my spindles and fleece. 😅 I also need to get my hands on this book. Stacked for sure! 3mo

bookishbitch @MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm what kind of spindles do you use? I'm a high whorler. 3mo

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm @bookishbitch I have a bottom whorl and a Navajo spindle. I‘m still getting the hang of the big Navajo one. 😅 3mo

bookishbitch @MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm I learned on a bottom whorl. I've not tried a Navajo yet. It looks challenging. 3mo

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm When I bought it, the shop owner was so excited, she said, “I‘ve never met anyone that knew how to use it.” I had to break it to her that I didn‘t, but I had watched some YouTube videos and figured; since I‘d already taught myself how to spin with a drop spindle; I could learn. I have yet to feel like I‘ve got the hang of it. It‘s a whole different animal. It‘s not something I can easily carry and pull out anywhere, so it‘s strictly a home hobby. 3mo

bookishbitch @MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm YouTube is amazingly helpful! 3mo
