I have finished Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell! I have finished the body of my sweater! (Well, beside the pockets). Next is the pockets and then the button band. Making a garment from repurposed yarn means I might end up with a game of chicken but I kind of like the puzzle aspect of it all.
I have planned all year to read Rebecca this October. I don't know why I got that bee in my bonnet exactly except I must have heard or read something about it awhile back that intrigued me. I picked it up this week at the library and was pulled in immediately, by the first page. Have you read it before? Do you, like I do, always feel an urge to read something a bit spooky and creepy in the fall?

I loved re reading Rebecca I think last year but it might be the year before that. Hurray that you are finished with the body of the sweater!!
ReplyDeleteI've read that book! What a great month to read it, too! That was the scariest book because it seemed so real with how the author set it up. Loved it. In fact, I was just thinking that would be a great book to re-read this month. Unfortunately, my reading list is a bit too long already!
ReplyDeleteI have read it several times but will never forget the first time when I was in high school-I got so pulled in and loved the eeriness of it. Next up, you should read "My Cousin Rachel" by same author--make sure you don't get an abridged version though.
ReplyDeleteyour sweater looks wonderful and I can't wait to see it in person this weekend.

I finished Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell about a year ago according to Goodreads, what a tome of a book. I watched Rebecca years and years ago with my sister and a friend (unwillingly, I don't really like suspense and scary movies) but I was drifting in and out of sleep. I finally did read Rebecca, not quite what I was expecting I guess. I do wonder about reading spooky stuff. I am considering reading Dracula and maybe Frankenstein. But I am easily spooked and have never been drawn to those "must reads."
ReplyDeleteI have read Rebecca, but such a long time ago that I barely remember what it's about... But yes, sometimes there is nothing better than getting under a blanket with a spooky novel..
ReplyDeleteI've not read it and prefer not to read spooky things (or watch spooky movies for that matter). Suspense I can handle a bit. The Girl on the Train was about as much suspense as I can handle! Yay for your knitting progress! xo
