i finished The Distant Hours by Kate Morton last week, and i liked it, even though i prefer The Forgotten Garden. there were a few inconsistencies in the concluding chapters that irked me a bit, but all in all i fell for the english countryside, cups of tea and tragic love story. i want to read The House at Riverton next.
now i started Mr Penumbra's 24-hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan. i'm just into the first pages so i will share more about how i like it next week.
the Emma Tunic is making progress, i am just about to devide the front and back. i started a new knit as well, The Age of Brass and Steam, which i simply call "steamy" in a delicious Malabrigo Arroyo yarn... it's a knitalong with Rachel of house full of jays. it's not the most favourite pattern i've ever knit, i admit, but maybe i have to warm up to it (not so fond of the YO, but without them, well, it wouldn't be a "steamy"). in any case, i am looking forward to wrapping the soft kerchief with it's wonderful green shades around my neck!
joining ginny again today. what are you knitting and reading??

The House at Riverton was my favorite. I hope you post when you are deeper into Mr. Penumbra's 24-hour bookstore, it's been on my radar.
love the name steamy, seems like a good name. her books tend to be similar in the recipe but I still like them overall. Lovely knitting!
That's a really beautiful shade of green :)
