Dear Reader, I request help with reviews

penny on June 21, 2011

I’m really far behind in writing reviews again. I’m having too much fun reading everything I can get my hands on. I should write reviews on all or most of the books I’ve read recently. I no longer think that is really going to happen. Why? I’ve read 58 books so far this year!

Your job is to help me choose which three books listed below the following you would like me to write up and post about here in two weeks. I know it’s image heavy, if you would prefer a text list, please scroll down to the bottom.

Fashion Sketchbook by Bina Abling The Key to Weaving: A Textbook of Hand Weaving for the Beginning Weaver by Mary E. Black The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins Mistwood by Leah Cypess Fleece and Fiber Sourcebook: More Than 200 Fibers from Animal to Spun Yarn by Carol Ekarius My Nine Lives: A Memoir of Many Careers at the Keyboard by Leon Fleisher, Anne Midgette Rework by Jason Fried, David Heinemeier Hansson Notes on Weaving Techniques by Florence E.

    I’d love reviews of What Would Madame DeFarge Knit, The Woman in White (one of my favourite books!), and Fleece and Fibre Sourcebook !

    Top Down Knitting, Mistwood, Knit one Knit all, Petaybee, and any other SF/Fantasy in the list.

    My choices are:

    The Alchemist’s Daughter by Katharine McMahon
    What Would Madame Defarge Knit? by Heather Ordover
    Fuzzy Nation by John Scalzi

    And you just reminded me that I really need to write some reviews.
