@wtg Knitting Without Tears is a fabulous book. It’s like having a chat over a cup of tea with your favorite knitting aunt.
I just finished A Midwife’s Tale: The Life of Martha Ballard, Based on her Diary 1785-1812, by Laurel Thatcher Ulrich. Interesting analysis of Maine life, not just the midwifery. I chose this book because I read a fictional version of a year in her life, The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon.
Also recently enjoyed Mrs. Christie at the Mystery Guild Library by Amanda Chapman, and recommended it to Mary Anna.
Foster by Claire Keegan, about a 9 year old Irish girl fostered for a summer with relatives when her family couldn't afford to feed all of their family. Listened to the audio book first (lovely accent), then read it for clarity. Its a short book, very enjoyable.

I figured you had probably read it (sounded like she is a knitting legend) and hoped you'd throw your two cents in. Think I'll look for a used copy and give it a look!

I know I’m a bit behind the times as this book has been everywhere since its release, but I just finished Remarkably Bright Creatures and it was absolutely wonderful. Highly recommend.

Veey moving, emotional reading

I'm not reading anything. I'm watching history videos. My latest obsession is the Byzantine Empire.

I recently finished Divinity 36 and am now on the second book in the trilogy. It is sci-fi, though definitely not typical sci-fi. It took me a bit to decide I liked it but I fell in love with the characters and now I am completely hooked.
I’m also reading the Dungeon Crawler Carl series. I just started book 2. It is definitely targeted at folks who are gamers - specifically dungeon crawlers. I don’t know that it would be of interest to anyone here but I am loving them!

Started this but didn't finish before it was due at the library. I put another hold on it so I can finish it. Definitely an interesting read.
From snake-oil salesmen to crypto grifters, the gripping story of charlatans—and why we fall for them
