Hello friends,I have the windows open, with a cool breeze filling my home as I enjoy a cup of tea. Fall has arrived.
Tomorrow I start a knitting class, to learn to make socks. I know how to knit socks, but struggle with 1-3 point needles, so to boost my confidence I'm taking a class. The store owner will teach both the loom method and traditional 'in the round.' I have a stockpile of sock yarn, and can't wait to wear handmade socks around the house. Wish me luck!
What I'm reading: I bought three books this weekend, The Forest Feast (cookbook), Five Days Left, and Big Little Lies.
I read Every Day over the weekend. I keep trying to read YA since many of my friends are teachers, and their passion for YA isn't lost on me.I tend to compare time travel books with The Time Traveler's Wife, and Outlander, which are filled with so many details, depth. I did enjoy the Every Day, the overall plot and the ending left me wanting more. If you enjoy YA and time travel... you will like this book. my goodreads: 3 stars
Synopsis: Every day a different body. Every day a different life. Every day in love with the same girl.

Last night I started Five Days Left. I can't put it down, sneaking time during the day to read a chapter. Have you read it?Synopsis: A heart-wrenching debut about two people who must decide how much they’re willing to sacrifice for love.
Mara Nichols, a successful lawyer, and devoted wife and adoptive mother, has recently been diagnosed with a terminal disease. Scott Coffman, a middle school teacher, has been fostering an eight-year-old boy while the boy’s mother serves a jail sentence. Scott and Mara both have five days left until they must say good-bye to the ones they love the most. Through their stories, Julie Lawson Timmer explores the individual limits of human endurance, the power of relationships, and that sometimes loving someone means holding on, and sometimes it means letting go.
I hope you find time to take a walk with a friend, unwind with a book... enjoy the transition to a new season.
