I am currently between books (though I just picked up Jennifer Haigh's Faith from the library this morning and can't wait to start it), so I took a photo of two books I finished recently. First, I loved Rachel Simon's Riding the Bus with My Sister, so when I saw she had a new book out, I decided to give it a shot. I'm so glad I did. The Story of Beautiful Girl was a gorgeous story of how love can grow in the most difficult conditions. I'm not sure why I added Revolver to my to-read list, but it was definitely worth reading. This suspenseful novel reads like a one act play, and the end was satisfying.
As for my knitting, I have several projects on the needles, but I am focusing on finishing up my Shaelyn. My last few projects have been baby gifts, so I've been working with a lot of cotton and acrylic yarns, which can be hard on my hands, so this Malabrigo Sock yarn is like heaven. Since I am using fingering weight yarn, I am doing an extra repeat of the pattern. I can already tell this shawl will be one of my favorites. The lace is simple, but interesting, and the stockinette is so soothing.
