I've reached page 1100! 🎉🎉🎉 Only 250 pages to go! 📚 This book is destroying me in the best way possible!
I got an iron on my jacket this morning, and now it‘s done! Next up: the trousers. I‘ve mostly finished them, but I want to redo the lining because the stuff I chose is way too loud.
I‘m making good progress through MEMORIES OF ICE, too. It amazes me how very D&D the worldbuilding is, but I guess that‘s all in line with Erikson‘s stated goal to offer a more nuanced take on a particular kind of fantasy. #MFMarch #audiosewing
I‘m so excited to share 📚☺️ received my Broken Binding Malazan special edition books 🥰🥰🥰. There so amazing 😍❣️
pickSanderson takes over the #WheelofTime series in book 12. It's obnoxiously long, but then again, sometimes people's struggles are the same way. I found this much easier to engage with versus the final few volumes written before Robert Jordan's passing. Slightly less objectifying of the female body and stereotype than RJ, but still written in the same style. I didn't realize that the final three books were initially supposed to be one.
Working at the weekend to fund more books and/or a holiday. The capitalism continues
Tomorrow I need to do the sleeve buttonholes, topstitch the lapels, and press the shit out of it. Then my tweed jacket is finally done!
To be honest, I didn‘t listen to a TON of DEADHOUSE GATES while I worked because the last week has all been fiddly handsewn stuff I wanted to focus on—and because, unpopular opinion coming up, I liked GARDENS OF THE MOON more than this one. Still, I‘m invested enough to tackle #3 in due course. #audiosewing
so-soFinished book 4. Not much happened till around the last 100 pages.
While I‘m not enjoying this series as much as I‘d hoped I‘m still planning to continue as there‘s just something about it that makes me still want to know what‘s going to happen.

What did you read in February?
The provisional sleeve-set went well on both sides, thanks to 8300 pins. Only seven more steps until my jacket‘s ready for its Parisian debut!
I‘ve made good progress through GARDENS OF THE MOON, too. I like it a lot more than I did the first time I tried it, but I don‘t think it‘ll hit Love status. Still, most people agree this is the series‘ weakest book, so I‘ll look forward to the next one. #MFMarch #audiosewing
I thought I was really gonna have to stretch to finish WIND AND TRUTH before the end of the month, but I don‘t wanna turn it off. I keep looking for more excuses to listen. Earlier today I did the collar and facings on my jacket, then finished this puzzle. Tomorrow‘ll probably involve pressing the jacket so it‘s photogenic, then at least the start of another puzzle. At this rate, I should finish the book on Tuesday. #audiopuzzling
