I've been a bit slow to blog lately, mostly due to the busy holiday season that is upon us. But also, I have been working to learn how to crochet lately. I got it in my head that I wanted to learn, so I shared a cup of tea with my friend Karen, and after a few bumps in the road, she got me going in no time.
I'm proud to say that I've made a few hats and a head band, and I am frantically finishing a bunny and his carrot home--Alex, my son requested this one! It should be done this evening, and safely under the tree for tomorrow night.
I have updated my Book Club's reading list for 2014. If you scroll down, you will find on the left side of the screen, a widget that lists our reading for the upcoming year. We had a great book exchange meeting early on in December. I received A House in the Sky by Amanda Lindhout and Sara Corbett. I will be sure to get to it early this year.

(Just finished Major Pettigrew's Last Stand, so I'll be reviewing it very shortly.)
I wanted to share a few random snaps from around town:

| My local library's idea of a Christmas Tree. I love it!!! |
 |
| My Friend Kim's idea of a Christmas Tree (It's Jack Daniels) |

I took my daughter Abi down to the CBC radio open house called Sounds of the Season earlier this year. She loved seeing how radio is made. They had a display of the 5 finalists for Canada Reads. Here they are:
I am going to try to read these before the jury debates and selection. I have already read Half-Blood Blues, and will continue with Annabel next.
Also while shopping at VV, I found a quirky looking book that I bought solely based on it's cover: Skippy Dies by Paul Murray. Not sure what it's about, but I want to give it a go!
