The Needlecraft Book

book cover


As an accomplished crafter and fiber artist, this encyclopedic book covers all of my favorite crafts. Its oversized pages provide clear and detailed photographs with instructions on knitting, embroidery, needlepoint, quilting, crochet, applique and patchwork. Designed for both the beginner and advanced crafters, this book is a useful and beautiful addition to my crafting library.

blood Relatives

At its heart, this is a police procedural. But the characters are so well explored within this context and the circumstances so bizarre, that the story, though bloody and twisted, is very interesting. If you like cop drama, you will definitely enjoy this one.

Dead Sleep

book cover


In this story about women who go missing and then have their dead images appear in paintings, Isles does an excellent job in developing the characters and their connections to one another. And this is important because the subject matter here is often harsh and without this development of characters, it would simply be a brutal story. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time and liked the ending.

The sequel to The Perfect Marriage was very good as well. Should read the first one so you have an idea about what happened before you read the sequel. Good story. Not as twisty and not as good as the first one, but worth the read.

I loved this book! The science behind the neuroparacites and the black rocks was interesting and made sense. I also liked how the relationship between the characters developed and evolved. I just wish the MFC could focus a little more on the plot rather than THIRSTING OVER HER PROFESSOR!!!!

This translated book from Japanese was very interesting. A boy of high school age who works in his family’s bookstore has just lost his grandfather who he lived with. He shuts himself away in the bookstore until a strange visitor comes into the shop. I liked the different writing this book presented as well as the way it presents a different way of looking a books.

Found it interesting the comparison between the great grandmother, who had a stroke, and the great grandson, who was artistic and nonverbal how they managed to communicate with each other with the use of an iPad, and how the great grandmothers story from her childhood in Poland during the World War II unfolds
