What I’m Reading Now: The Sun and The Star by Rick Riordan and Mark Oshiro

I’m super stoked for this one. Nico has been one of the most interesting characters that Rick Riordan ever wrote and I’m so happy that he’s finally getting his own novel.

What are your comfort reads?

Do you have that go to book that when you just need something to read but you don’t have something lined up? For me that is the Unearthly series. I was on my commute to work earlier this week and I had about 15 minutes left and I had just finished The League of Gentewoman Witches and nothing new downloaded to my Nook. So I do what I always do when I’m in the situation. I open up Unearthly. It’s definitely a comfort read. It’s a simple romance about a girl who is part angel who is balancing her purpose with high school and college. It also has the best book boyfriend of all time, Tucker Avery and it bothers me that not enough people know about him

This made me wonder. What are your go to books when you are in between books? And why do you always go back to it?

What I’m Listening to Now: The Maid by Nita Prose

A black key hole on a red background. Through the keyhole, you can see the one leg with a grey high heel, a grey skirt, a white apron and apron strings, as a person feels to the left. The text reads, “The Maid. A Novel. Nita Prose”

This is the second knitting book club pick. A few folks have already finished it, so I’ve heard a little bit about it. Im very excited to start it. I am still working on the same pair of socks.

A sock on a black background. it is blue with multicolored squares that are stacked like bricks in the legs. on the foot the bricks are on the top of the foot and there are stripes on the bottom of the foot.

What I’m Listening to Now: Julie Clark

I joined a knitting group last summer and many of us like to listen to audio books while we knit, so now we’re also a book club! Our first book is Julie Clark’s The Last Flight. And my knit right now is a pair of socks.
