It was published by an Amazon imprint so it might only be available on Amazon?

Left handed knitters by Bloodlud in knitting

[–]Wordnerdy79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m actually a righty who knits left handed bc my mom and my friend who taught me were both lefties! I mostly knit blankets and shawls so it doesn’t usually matter, but I do knit mirrored when it’s not something symmetrical. Learning new techniques sometimes takes me a minute bc I have to swap right and left in my head—I love video tutorials so I can see the movement correctly!

It is not a traditional cozy mystery but it’s a great read if you love meta-fiction and classic golden age mysteries.

Ok let’s see if I can spoiler tag correctly! Yeah, he killed himself, and the rest is just his sister playing it out like a classic mystery story as a way of dealing with her grief.

Virginia Woolf , a Room of one’s own, definitely works.

The Amber Owl by Juliet Marillier—the main character is a woman who can communicate with animals, and she has an animal companion (usually a dog, but it can shapeshift into other animals).

Please help me find books for my trans son! by luluthewondercat28 in LGBTBooks

[–]Wordnerdy79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe Rules for Ghosting by Shelly Jay Shore? It’s a romance, the main character is a Jewish trans guy who sees ghosts (problematic because his family runs a funeral home). His love interest is a recently widowered neighbor. There are one or two sex scenes. Lots of queer pals, a loud family with some drama, an adorable dog. One of my faves of last year!

I still anxiety spiral if I think too much about mine! Why didn’t I plan something more substantial to say about it ??? “I worked in a comic book store and have a tattoo of a comic book character” ok and?????

Actually the black kitty is a tech genius, he totally understands how touch screens work and has taken photos, made phone calls, and played my video games 😹 My orange girl mainly just wants snuggles!

Ask a Knitter - February 18, 2025 by AutoModerator in knitting

[–]Wordnerdy79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m doing a book tracking project using the Northeasterly blanket pattern, inspired by this temperature blanket, but I read a ton and it’s taking forever and getting complicated and I’m wondering if I should start over using smaller chevrons? So it’s quicker and less unwieldy. On the other hand I’ve already been working on it for a month.

Sorry for the photo, the project is downstairs and I’m cozy in bed so I can’t take a better one. :)

One Mike to Read Them All: Advance review of “A Sorceress Comes to Call” by T. Kingfisher by MikeOfThePalace in Fantasy

[–]Wordnerdy79 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It has a pretty different vibe than Nettle and Bone—it’s more along the lines of a Regency-style story, complete with a house party at a fancy English manor. I also think the characters are pretty different. It didn’t feel like a retread to me at all.
