Perseverance


I'm actually quite impressed with myself how long I have kept reading this book. I often give up after just a couple of chapters if the story isn't grabbing me - this one is just interesting enough to keep me reading, but not enough to make me desperate to find out what happens next. Consequently I've been reading it for about four weeks! A record for me. I have a huge pile of library books here I need to be getting on with, so I'm planning to sit in the garden this afternoon and get it finished. 

I'm knitting a dishcloth. I need some new ones, and the orange cardigan is taking so long it makes me not want to pick it up. So now it's taking even longer. I was rushing to get it done as soon as possible as I wanted to wear it this summer with my orange sandals that match perfectly, but we are now having a heatwave and there is no way on earth I'm going to want a cardigan, even in the evenings at the moment. So, a break for a dishcloth or two and then I'll resume. I also have another quirky little project on the go, just for fun. I'll share that one soon.

  2. It is too hot for any serious knitting at the moment but the colour of your dish clothes is perfect for the season and nice and light to work. I'm intrigued to find out about your other quirky project.
    Enjoy the sunshine.

  3. I liked that book but it was not her best book, however her writing style is lovely and I would read anything she wrote. Nice cheerful washcloths :)

  5. Oops pushed a button by mi s take. Yellow is my happy color!! I've returned many library books because they didn't grab me. There's too many books to read to be stuck on one unless you really want to.

  6. Hello Debbie - I am visiting from our new class write now. I admire your perseverance with the book, although I do love Kate Morten's books and that is on my wish list to read.

  7. In general, I'm a Kate Morton fan but I found the Secret Keeper to my least fave -- was glad to have have read it when all was said and done though.
