Stephen King Fans group has this one for June's read (http://www.goodreads.com/group/show/203.Stephen_King_Fans).
I have my copy and so far it is a great read.
6.13.2010 Finished!
Love, love this book. The Book of Yarn was good as well, but Clara has outdone herself with this one. I will need to scrape away some money and buy this one. Love it!
Lovely book. One of the girls brought it to the 2010 Lexington Retreat. I wanted to check it out more at home. I learned a lot about the different breed types. It is a general breed book, not necessarily geared toward the fiber end. Great book nonetheless. I would buy it.
Nice, well thought out book. I was kinda hoping it would cover 2 on 1 circular, but it didn't so much. Guess that is what YouTube is for. At any rate, she is a very artistic and accomplished knitter and I follow her blog, so I thought I should check it out.
Hummm...I need to buy this book. What a great reference/coffe table book. I also like Beautiful Sheep.
Read this entire book in one day. Good tips on sock knitting. Not sure I would ever use the patterns in it. I was sorta looking for a book that would cover 2 on one magic loop. This was not the book for that. I did, however, like the spiral binding. Makes for a easier reference book while knitting socks.
Another library find. Great reference to the beginner for spinning, including drop spindle techniques.
Honsestly, this was not one of my favorite Andrews novels. I thought The Fixer Upper was my favorite. Sometimes her books hit the mark, and others.....well fall flat. This one was a bomb for me.
The first 1/4 of the book was thrilling. The later half, ended up leaving me depressed and the main character looking pathetic. I struggled through it almost to the end and ended up giving up. Good thing I bought it at a garage sale. Dissapointed.
This book is really starting to grab my interest. Good development of characters and I am enjoying the story line.
Not sure I loved this book. The story started strong, but somewhere into the first 90 pages, I started feeling flat about it. Not my favorite read, but not a horrible one either. Ambivalent.
3.18.2010So far I am a 3/4 of the way through the book. I recently finished The Fixer Upper, which I looooved! This book is falling a bit flat for me. Yes, it is an easy read, but I am not feeling connected to the characters. In theory, the story line is good, the characters are good. The plot is good. It should be an interesting read. The book jacket looks promising. The problem seems to be that the characters are not as fully developed as I would like. I keep hoping that will change, but at 3/4 of the way through the book, it isn't going to happen. I want to finish it at least, so that I can put it to rest. From reading the rest of the reviews, I am in good company in not falling in love with the book. Sorry Ms. Andrews, I still love your writing style, but this one just is not hitting the mark for me.

Ok, it's official. I am putting this book down. TKO. Can't do it. Don't enjoy the It's a story I am not enjoying. Done.
Although I read this a very long time ago, I hav put it on my list to read again sometime this summer.
