Reading
Last week, I finished:
Don’t Open Your Eyes ⭐️⭐️⭐️
I See You’ve Called in Dead ⭐️⭐️⭐️
All My Bones ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Detective Aunty ⭐️⭐️⭐️
I am currently reading Powder Burn. (Amazon)
You can order my reads through Bookshop.org to add them to your bookshelf or TBR pile. Every purchase gives back to local bookstores and contributes to my Wool Work for Yarn Fund. Win-win!








I pretty much always love your reads. I automatically add them to my TBR list. I enjoy looking at all your pattern and yarn choices. I just wish I could afford to be a pair subscriber.
