#crochet making a thing, see alt for details. freestyle.
Pictured from left to right: edge of a teal notebook, seen beneath a spiral notebook with lined paper exposed. On top if which is posed my WIP. A scarf largely composed of periwinkle blue at the moment. the yarn is self blocking/striping in shades of periwinkle, teal, muted almost navy, and light purple. Some where in there, I think, will be more of the very light blue on the bottom right edge of the scarf. Also pictured to the right is a pen on the desk.

Review in the ALT. #bookreview #booksky
Cover for the Third Gilmore Girl by Kelly Bishop. Cover features a photographic portrait of the author in a crimson top, wearing read lipstick. Don't cry because you think your best days are gone. Smile because you had them in the first place. - Kelly Bishop Words to live by, truly. In her memoir Kelly Bishop take you through her professional career, her love life, her home life, and her faith. From the Radio City Music Hall to The Watchful Eye, and, hopefully, beyond. Enduring through numerous red eye flights, bad relationships, good relationships, cancers (Lee) and blood clots (Kelly). I've always known she is a force of nature. Since the first moment she drew breath as Emily Gilmore, I have loved her work. This book is no exception. Even if you have never, ever, seen Gilmore girls this book is worth the read.

i feel like we as a digital society have forgotten the important rules of the internet: Don't feed the trolls Never give out personal information Anonymity is the best defense Don't click suspicious links Don't click popups and ads Just because it's written doesn't mean it's true You are responsible for your own experience There is porn of everything, act accordingly

Rikki Thunder, drummer for hot new '80s metal band Whyte Python, is about to get it all: global fame... a dream girlfriend--and an unwitting role as an international spy. Sound good? hit up the alt text for write up. Also, Wil Wheaton narrates the audiobook. #booksky #books
It's Los Angeles, 1986, and metal rules the world. For aspiring drummer Rikki Thunder, life is good--even if he is sleeping in a condemned paint store and playing with a band that's going nowhere. But when he gets a shot to join L.A.'s hottest up-and-coming band, Whyte Python, Rikki's young life turns up to 11. Soon he has a hit single scorching up the charts, and the new love of his life in the audience. Rikki couldn't ask for anything more. But good fortune can be deceiving. With the Cold War breathing its last gasps and American music blasting through the Iron Curtain, a youth revolution is taking hold - and a hair band is unknowingly playing host to the final battle for the hearts and minds of the Eastern Bloc. Rikki Thunder soon realizes there is a deeper web of influence propelling Whyte Python, and the stakes for his mission--to spread peace, love, and epic shredding across the globe--are far more dangerous than he could ever imagine. Raucously funny and refreshing, The Whyte Python World Tour is a head-banger of a debut, steeped in '80s music culture nostalgia and international suspense.

#DNF #booksky #reading
Explanation in ALT.
Book Cover for The Night Auction by Lila Mary. I was provided with an ARC PDF for review by the author. This book is currently a dnf for me. I will reconsider reading it after it's been published. I found there were some Grammar and syntax issues. There is potential for a great story in here. It needs some heavy editing. I had a glance through the rest and found that the bulk of the story seems written in first person with third person use of names. Lots of telling, I tend to prefer more showing. I hope the author has a trusted editor.

apparently mine is called knife grip. i also find it matters how smooth the hook head is. rounded tips help me avoid shoulder pain.
