Hey there! I don’ tknow ‘the Known World’…I’ll check it out.

I know how excited you are for your trip! It’ll be beautiful. Check out Peter May, he may have other books that are set on the mainland of Scotland, too.

Have a great day, sweet SIL!

Hugs, lynn

You aren’t going to believe this, but the only other book I have on my nightstand right now is Cloud Cuckoo Land and I started it last night (still need to get to the library for The Elegance of the Hedgehog). So, I’m only about 10 pages in and just figuring everyone out…but looking forward to spending more time with it. And I’d LOVE your book recommendations. Some of my favorite recently, in additon to Towles, are A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry and The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell.

What are you reading now?

Have a great day reading!

Hugs, Lynn

Hi Kathleen,

Thanks for the kind message! I love what I do, and so glad that some of the content speaks to you! It would not be nearly as much fun without Kathleens on the other end of my musings!

And I’m glad you appreciated the Dash…sometimes we need those reminders that this is it! We don’t get do-overs. And boy, do I agree with you that I wish I could find a few more hours in the day to take in all that I enjoy doing!

Wishing you a wonderful week!

Hugs, Lynn

Hi BetteAnn!

How’s Pennsylvania?

Now, I’ve got to be honest. If you are looking for an exciting page-turner, then you may not love Amor Towles’ books. They are more of a long walk with good friend who is telling you a delightful story.

I will check out Fantastic Fiction. I know it exists…but I can’t find it…which makes me wonder if there isn’t a good reason?

Have a great day, my friend.

Hugs, Lynn

Hi Norene! Hope all is well

Yup, that’s exactly what it means. I guess that was not the best, most articulate way to communicate that.

Happy Knitting!

Hi Sharon,

I LOVED ‘The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell’! We have very similar tastes in books. Have you read ‘A Fine Balance’ by Rohan Mistry? I think you’ll like it if you like those others. What else have you loved?

Thank you as always for your blog. I look forward to each one. In the meantime, I am attempting to knit the Grace Baby Blanket. On row 4, it says SS3, knit, SS3
Does this mean that I K1, P1, K1 for the seed stitch, then knit across the row until the last three stitches, then K1, P1, K1 to end the row?
Thank you so much for your help. Thanks!

I always love checking out your reading list and it looks like I have a new author to explore in Amor Towles. A Gentleman in Moscow got mixed reviews on Amazon, but I am willing to give it a try on your recommendation. And, yes, Eve in Hollywood does exist – or at least it was written, but not to be found anywhere that I could see. How do I know. One of my favorite websites is Fantastic Fiction.
You can plug in your favorite writer of fiction (and sometimes non-fiction) and find everything he/she has written with suggestions where it MIGHT be available. Happy Hunting. If I ever find Eve in Hollywood, I’ll be sure to let you know.

I love and learn so much from your blog content! The Dash is a lovely, thought-provoking message. David Arms is new to me and his artwork definitely speaks to me—wish I could afford a few pieces. 😃 Thanks, too, for the Russian Join lesson and the book reviews. Now if I could figure out how to walk, knit and read at the same time, I’d be a very content, happy camper‼️
