Sewing Sunday

Today, I  spent some time with my beloved Singer Simple. I made 2 Medium wedges, a large wedge, and a drawstring bag. The large wedge bag is for my brother, I just taught him to knit, and he's making blanket squares to sew up into a 'Enderman' blanket. (If you've played/seen Minecraft you know what an Enderman is. The other three I will probably keep!

FO Friday

This week, I have finished my cousin's legwarmers! Finally! The colors faded near the end of the first ball, and were marled in the second ball. I don't think my cousin will care, she just loved the colors and she didn't want them to match.

What I'm Reading Tuesday

This week, I've finished two books, Matched by Ally Condie and Corridor by Robin Parrish.

Matched was a great book, definitely a science fiction/dystopian book. It wasn't an action book, nor was it really a romance book. It's more about fighting the system, a system where everything is decided for you. Where you live, who you marry, what job you get, how many kids you have, everything. Cassia spends her whole life believing that everything is for her own good, that she will have the perfect life if she just obeys the Society's rules and regulations. I can't wait to read the second book.

   I read corridor in about three or four hours on Friday, it was definitely a page turner! Action on every page, suspense, wonder, and everything else you could want in a science fiction/dystopian novel! I highly, highly recommend this book, as it was recommended to me by a friend.

What I'm Reading Tuesday

This week, I'm reading Matched by Ally Condie, it's a great book so far! I'm about halfway through.

Cassia has always trusted the Society to make the right choices for her: what to read, what to watch, what to believe. So when Xander's face appears on-screen at her Matching ceremony, Cassia knows with complete certainty that he is her ideal mate... until she sees Ky Markham's face flash for an instant before the screen fades to black.

The Society tells her it's a glitch, a rare malfunction, and that she should focus on the happy life she's destined to lead with Xander. But Cassia can't stop thinking about Ky, and as they slowly fall in love, Cassia begins to doubt the Society's infallibility and is faced with an impossible choice: between Xander and Ky, between the only life she's known and a path that no one else has dared to follow.

I'm still reading Me, Myself, and Them, but it hasn't caught my attention and I'm debating whether to push through it or just go ahead and return it.
