Baby blanket and #13 read 10 classics

Finished a baby blanket last week and gifted at the baby shower.
The recipient didn't know whether she was having a boy or girl so I mixed up the colours.




I didn't have time to block so looks slightly wonky!
Gave instructions for the first wash though.

#13 read 10 classics

I had planned to read 1 a month then leave 3 months for Ulysses
I've read three so far!
So 3 behind!

Mrs Dalloway - Virginia Woolf
it was ok, not my favourite Woolf

The Woman in White
Really enjoyed this one, it took a few goes to get into the flow of language 
but one Sunday morning
 -and three coffees - I couldn't put it down and finished it.

Northanger Abbey
again not my favourite Austen, but readable and short.

The next few days I'll get to tick of three items...quite excited for a trip

  3. Perfect baby blanket! The books look interesting. I've only read one Jane Austen book so maybe I'll look this one up. The Woman in White was made into a movie, which I would watch if it was available.

  4. I'm so glad you enjoyed Woman in White. It's a terrific read. I read his other novel, The Moonstone, just after Christmas. I struggled with Ulysses. Nice colour choices for the baby blanket.
