After the heartbreak of The Winner’s Crime and a month-straight binge on fantasy, I’m ready to read something a little bit different. Don’t worry – I’ll be back to fantasy in no time. I plan to start some or all of the following this weekend: The Last Flight of Poxl West by Daniel Torday A Jewish young […]
I enjoyed the first book in the Winner’s Trilogy, The Winner’s Curse, and gave it 4 stars (or cups, using my new blog rating scale). Maybe 4.5. The writing was absolutely beautiful and I loved the characters, but I wanted more world-building. I didn’t feel like I could completely ‘see’ Herran and Valorian society. Well, […]
My mom and I participated in the Northeast Ohio Yarn Discovery Tour, which is held September 5 – 20. We visited all 17 yarn stores on the tour and bought waaaaay too much yarn. (See my Yarn Discovery Stash tag on Rav here.) My mom also won the 10 shop prize basket. We’re probably past […]
The time to think about Christmas knitting. Everything from last year was finished on time – except for my mom’s cardigan, which is still sitting at the bottom of my knitting bag unfinished. Oops. This year, my goal is to use up my stash. I’m hoping not to buy any additional yarn for Christmas presents […]
Today was the first day of my final semester of undergrad (yikes!) and the first day of Library Internship 2.0. Well, technically it’s a fellowship, just like Heights was an apprenticeship. But anyway… First off, I’m not alone in this experience – I working with a fellow senior I’ll refer to as C. We started […]
So, you know how I was so pumped that I’d started my Christmas knitting in August and had sooooooooo much time to finish it? Being a senior double-major messes with plans, folks. I have 16 days before Christmas and the following to knit: 1 golf club cozy for my dad 1 fingerless glove for my […]
This semester, I’ve been taking a weaving class and enjoying it a ridiculous amount. So much so that I may have gotten a loom (just a little table loom): Here’ some of my work thus far: (The last two are the same piece, just different sides). Happy fiber art-ing! Ann
I discovered that my college just recently began a Library and Archives Fellows Program after receiving a generous donation from an alumna who now works for the World Bank. Applications were due last week and because librarians are awesome, their turn around time was lightning fast. I had a short interview yesterday and found out […]
No, you haven’t jumped ahead to the end of October or worse, November. It’s still the middle of August. I head back to school this weekend (being a better blogger this summer…not so much). I have, nevertheless, commenced that task all knitters fear – Christmas knitting. A fellow Knittitor inspired me to start thinking about […]
Today was my last day at the library. I’ve been horrible about updating this blog (and never actually started my reading list), but this experience has been fantastic. It really solidified my choice of career. Everyone at Heights were so nice and helpful. I’m not a person that immediately feels comfortable in new situations, but […]
