Okay, I don't need much encouragement. 😆 Here's the latest progress pic of the #bookblanket. That's our queen size bed it is spread out on. Nearest the camera is the start of the year.
(Quick project description: for each book I read, I make a hexagon. The colour of the center tells you the genre, the outer ring tells you whether I bought the book this year, in 2017-18, in 2011-16, or got it from the library/other.)
@rabbitprincess TADA!
They're not for me, they're for Norman and Hogglestock! Well, I'll read them while putting my feet up on him...?
The blanket is my #bookblanket! It's getting big, around 150 motifs. Shall I post a full progress pic?
pickThese books just make me laugh so. much.
Help me decide a #bookblanket thing, though! Should this book be just turquoise for fantasy, or turquoise/hot pink for fantasy/romance, now Kate and Curran's courtship is really getting off the ground? The previous books are just classified fantasy in the blanket. I do actually have a poll on Twitter: https://twitter.com/shanaqui/status/1148733448330387457 But comments with opinions works too.
Finishing this up today after stalling on my reread for way too long. I find this series a little daunting somehow -- there's so many books, so much lore to remember!
First though, some more work on my #bookblanket. It now makes a good lap blanket... Or a poncho for Norman the Situponus. (That's that my dad calls these inflatable hedgehogs -- species name E. situponus.)
Today's focus, I think. Once I'm caught up with my #bookblanket... which I should totally update you all on with a quick progress pic. I actually got way behind on making motifs and joining them, so it should actually be bigger, but you'll definitely get the idea now!
#bookblanket starting to look quite good, if I do say so myself. There's actually a whole new row worth to make and add. I've been reading fast!
Right now I happen to be reading Clouds of Witness at the same time as watching the Ian Carmichael tv dramatisation (while crocheting to catch up on this!). Wish we could put Carmichael's voice on Petherbridge's appearance - though Petherbridge is really no slouch as Peter, I just heard Carmichael first.
pickWhat really fascinates me is how little we actually know for sure about Mars. Or most of our own Solar System. We talk so big, but...
Here's some #bookblanket progress! It's going to be about 1m x 2m, but it's early days yet. It has the width, but many more books to read/hexagons to make.
bailedBailed on this after finding out that, at the end, one character decides it's okay her brother took part in a gang rape, because at least he didn't also kill the woman.
Shame, because the world was interesting.
Not sure if I'm going to make a hexagon for my #bookblanket for this one. I read a good portion of it, so it is part of my reading journey...
pickReread! I did not love this book the first time, the second time I mildly enjoyed it, and truly it remains a 3-4 star book for me this third time, but there's something about it I come back to. Twice now!
#bookblanket motif: bright pink (romance), turquoise (fantasy) and emperor (reread).
