Not actually reading, but currently I'm using my copy of a shawl pattern book "Enchanting knitted shawls By Woolenberry" as an inspiration for my next shawl project. The lady behind the Woolenberry trademark has been designing shawls for a long time, first mainly fo Ravelry, but recently she released some of those patterns as a book (by the way, the designer is a fellow Finn)! Let's see what I'll be knitting next...

North by Northhanger, by Carrie Bebris, the third in the series of Jane Austen follow-ups where Elizabeth and Darcy are happily married and solve mysteries. I've read #2 Suspense and Sensibility as well. Need to find #1. Do you know about "Death comes to Pembereley" Book and TV series ?

Holiday come down, Fibro flare and dull weather. Time for a trashy Space Opera binge. John Scalzi "Old man's War" series.

Just finished Northanger Abbey and about to start Persuasion. I am getting caught up on the Jane Austen novels I should have read years ago!

Finished Angels and Demons and read The Lost Symbol (both by Dan Brown) yesterday.
Persuasion is on the sofa waiting.
Barnes and Noble and Half-Price Books just sent me new coupons.

I'm actually enjoying my winter holidays, so I'm reading (for a second time) one of my favourite books Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu. when I finish that, I'll start The War of the Worlds by Wells. I bought it last year but I haven't had the chance to read it yet!
