The Year in Review - non cycling

(cycling will get its own post, not to worry)

Knitting, lots of that. Two sweaters, 6.5 pairs of socks, fingerless mitts and a scarf:





Many books read, some of perceived higher literary value than others. A sampling:
Three Cups of Tea
People of the Book
The Secret Servant
Moscow Rules
many books by Kim Harrison (The Hollows, Rachel Mariana Morgan)
The Alton Gift
Flora's Suitcase
Disobedience (finally, and it went in a direction I did not see coming)
The Girls of Riyadh
Three Bags Full
The Yiddish Policemen's Union
The Miracle at Speedy Motors
Blue Shoes and Happiness
The Good Husband of Zebra Drive
1634: Cannon Law
1634: The Baltic War
The Garden of the Finzi Continis
Kate Elliot's Jaran series again, all 4 of them (and they are thick)
Eldest
The Sunrise Lands (and ooh, I see The Scourge of God is out!)
and many more...
