I used to read a lot
Before I started knitting reading was my main hobby but I was cheap and wouldn’t buy books. My mom and I have very similar taste in books so I’d just wait for her to send a box of books when she had finished a handful. Then I discovered PBS and before I knew it I had like 80 books (from there and mom), it was nice because I could get books I was interested in that I knew my mom wasn’t going to be reading and sending. The problem was right as I discovered PBS I also taught myself to knit. Take a guess which got more of my love?
I still have a shitton of books in my bedroom closet and in my nightstand waiting to be read as well as books I want to get and read. So I joined 52 books in 52 weeks on Ravelry. The kids are getting older and I’m finding more and more time to actually do things I want to while they are awake (though I still rarely knit with them around because they both love yarn and mess with me, where as I can read a little, I read part of my book to them, they get bored and go play heh).
I made a page to keep track of the books I’ve read. It will probably be full of boringness for anyone else since I will just be making list with general “like, dislike, hate, love” statements since I generally don’t like to analyze the hell out of books. If a book strikes my “hey, I’d like to talk about this” fancy, I’ll just blog it like normal ![]()
