I usually like Bette Lee Crosby’s stories. This one was no different. I liked the story. I liked the characters. I liked watching the growth of the main character to a better life than what she had before.

Does this feel like it is leading somewhere? Well, it is. After getting to know the not so good current flame and watching it fade out, I was looking forward to getting to know the bicycle rider and the new flame. The book seems to assume that you remember these characters from other books. Um… no. I think the story would done better had that assumption not ruled the day. It all seemed to end far too abruptly. For all that leading up to the magick that the memory house contains it just fizzled and left me wanting to throw the book away. I don’t feel that way often. But I just felt cheated.

Still, outside of the literary crash landing at the end, I still liked the book. Maybe folks that don’t read 150 books a year would have more memory of characters in other books written by the same author. I have trouble remembering my own name, so…

Anyway, there seems to be a lot of 5 starred rating so maybe you would love it, too. Enjoy.

How To Crochet BOX SET 2 IN 1: 10 Most Popular Crochet Patterns For Sale + 20 Basic Tunisan Crochet Stitches & Patterns: by Nicky Henderson

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Once again, I didn’t read this word for word. Still researching for hats to make for friends, family and caps for cancer.

This first book of the boxed set is more about setting up a crochet business. Not sure I will ever want to do that, but good to know there are books showing how. There was the cute hat with a butterfly built into the hat (not appliqued on) on a cute little girl. I may try to make this some time as one of the caps for children with cancer. I don’t think it would adapt well for adults. I could be wrong. Been known to happen, Wink. Wink. But the cap is long enough to cover the ears and there are no holes between stitches to make a poor bare head cold.

The next book, I found the pictures quite easy to see and understand. I do want to learn to do the Tunisian stitches but I don’t have any of those long hooks. I think this type of crochet is classy looking like knitting. But this book will have to wait until I get a few of the hats I have in mind finished and on their way to the new owners.

What I am saying is that I will keep this book handy for later. Once I make a pattern or two from it I will add on to this review.
