Exceedingly Mundane

Tim had to work late last night, so I stayed up late reading and finished another book – “A Good Yarn” by Debbie Macomber. This is the sequel to a book of hers I read last year and really liked, “The Shop on Blossom Street”.

This book is your typical women’s fiction – 4 women get together (in this case, for knitting classes) and form a bond, in spite of their different backgrounds, relationships, age, etc. Even though this was a sequel, it could easily be a stand-alone book as it introduces each character and covers who they are and why they are there. I like the way these books are ordered – each chapter is devoted to one of the women and tells their story of what is going on in their life, either in the knitting class or the other things that are covered with their storyline. A very enjoyable book (I don’t know a thing about knitting so I just skim over those sections, they are not involved and don’t distract from the storyline), and a good read. I own this book, if anyone would like to borrow it sometime!

For the record, that makes #44 for the year, with a total of 15,530 pages read. Up next, I’m going to read one of the 3 library books I checked out last Friday. I will probably start with the Joyce Carol Oates book, “The Falls”, but I’m going to read through the jacket covers again tonight and see if I don’t want to start on one of the others instead. See what I’m in the mood for, I guess 😀
