\"onceup8200\"I’ve been meaning to write a post declaring my participation in Carl’s annual Once Upon a Time VIII Challenge<\/a> for more than a month now, but for whatever reason, I haven’t made the time to do so. However, I thought I’d share that I am participating and I have been reading books in the fantasy\/fairy tale\/folklore\/mythology realm and am looking forward to reading more before the end of spring. I’ll be taking part in the Quest the First, which calls on me to read at least five books.<\/p>\n

\"20140507_031419\"<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Currently, I’m reading and enjoying Seraphina<\/em>, a young adult novel about dragons and music and politics and family. There’s a lot of world-building necessary in this story, so the start has been a little slow, but I anticipate the pace building quickly as the pages turn. <\/p>\n

<\/a>I’m also listening to several books, which is necessary when you’re knitting late at night. I started out with Mindy Kaling’s Is Everybody Hanging Out without Me<\/em>?, but I quickly realized that modern memoirs, which tend to be topical rather than chronological, are hard to listen to when tired because you don’t realize that you’ve dozed off and are listening an hour later than when you last tuned in. So I moved on to Heat Wave<\/em>, the first novel tie-in to the tv show, Castle<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"Yarning<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

The socks are my Sock Madness round three pair, Rainbow Pipes and Linen Stitch Sock. While the knitting is done, the embellishment is not. So there remains a bit more to do — icords and buttons — before they’re wearable. Luckily, I’ll be able to work on those at my leisure, as I failed to finish in time to advance to the next round. Next up, a square Rudi would like me to make for a quilt for the family of a friend of his who died. <\/p>\n

How about you? What are you knitting or reading? (I’m Yarning Along with Ginny<\/a>.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
