Christmas Crochet: 23 Amazing Christmas Crochet Gifts That Will Please Your Friends And Family: (Crochet patterns, Crochet books, Crochet for beginners, ... beginner's guide, step-by-step projects)Christmas Crochet: 23 Amazing Christmas Crochet Gifts That Will Please Your Friends And Family: by Adrienne Scott

My rating: 1 of 5 stars

It’s Christmas time. Time to start working on projects for friends family and, yes, for me. So I am downloading lots of crochet books to look at and decide if it would be worth the while to make the project before me. I would never find myself in a position to make a project without seeing what the final result should look like. Sure, I can read a pattern and follow it. But I don’t have the time, money or yarn to experiment. Even if I did, I wouldn’t with all the wonderful books, with pictures, out there to peruse.

No, I didn’t read every word in this book. But I leafed through the whole thing in hopes of finding the pictures later on. Sure the author is giving away a bonus book at the end but those are ‘diys’ and not necessarily crochet patterns. I ordered one but can’t say if it will be any better than this one.

Meanwhile, though this has an enticing cover, don’t bother unless you want to experiment.

Sea of Dreams (Sea of Dreams, #1)Sea of Dreams by C.L. Bevill

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Well, that was fun! Though, I suppose the subject matter: dystopia, life after almost all human life has disappeared from the planet wouldn’t be considered ‘fun’ in anyone’s book. Unless you are a sci-fi/fantasy buff, that is. And fantasy does play a big part in what happens next.

Still, the author explores the extent of emotions a person might have being the one left behind. Alone, the main character, Sophie, a 17-year-old, tries to find her father or anyone. She goes through an awful time but her thoughts draw the reader in and keep them engaged. I could have done with a lot more of the inventiveness that would have to emerge from that lonely, survival kind of life. That would have been a whole different kind of book.

Meanwhile, get ready for bad guys that don’t die, pixies, Nessie and her babies, etc. Even though the main characters are struggling with the survival stuff, the new beings add a different dimension that might not have been there in the ordinary dystopian story.

I picked this one up for free. And it still is. It’s worth the read! I can’t wait to read the next in the series (which isn’t free so I will have to wait until payday to get it.) Oh, and no cliffhanger. Yay! Just enough to let us know there is more coming.

Thank you, C.L. Bevill, for another entertaining book!
