Mingling with Mothman

5⭐️1🌶

I quickly read a short monster romance to get bingo on my summer reading bingo board.

I've been working on this bingo challenge all summer and needed a criptid romance to finish it up. Bingo was hosted by Aeva Vox and since I'm on her street team I felt like I really needed to finish this up. It was fun though and I was surprised I was able to fill in most of it with the ARCs I was reading anyway.

Mingling with Mothman by Eden Crowe was adorable. I love that monster romance has so many cozy cute wholesome romances with great messages. This was was a perfect quick read with cute spice and some really deep messaging mixed in. I highly enjoyed the banter and the FMC, Ava's wit and tenacity. Clay, the MMC was patient, quiet but ingenuitve and extremely caring. It was just a sweet story. It was the third set in this small monster haven of Mistwood. I'm tempted to read the other two. Ava moved away from Mistwood as soon as she was 18. She is human and her father is xenophobic. Even though Mistwood is magical, was created for monsters and has wards to help protect the monsters, Ava's father thinks the monsters should be run out of Mistwood. He frequently runs against Clay who is the mayor of Mistwood and the only known Mothman. Ava has recently come back to Mistwood to try to salvage a relationship with her father. She is not a piece of crap like her father. She is willing to cut ties with him completely if he doesn't start seeing what a prick he is. Ava gets a job at the Mayor's office to run his PR and social media division and coordinate town sponsored events. So its a small town office romance. Clay and Ava get stuck in a snowstorm on the way back from a photo shoot at a tree farm for the Mayor's holiday pictures. They end up having to share a room at a sketchy hotel because only one room was left.... it's predictable but in a good way. I really enjoyed it.

YOP: Week 29

The fair was a success. My items did well and Liara got some ribbons as well. We went to the parade on Tuesday, then down to the grounds once it was over. We stopped by one local vender to grab some jewelry, grabbed some donuts from the Donut Diner then went to see how we placed. Liara entered earrings that she hand-made with clay. They did not place. She entered a beaded bracelet that got first. She also entered three of her drawings. A Pegasus, a bunny and a magical worm. The bunny and the worm received third and the Pegasus received second. The bunny is my personal favorite of all the drawings she's done. There is always a really good turn out in the drawing and photography categories, so she was up against some stiff competition. I'm really happy she received some ribbons. My items are as follows: Rotini Beanie; First Enchantress MKAL; First. Sunburst Potholder; Second. Cow and Hen Dishcloth set; ...

YOP: Week 52

As the year comes to a close, I've been looking at my queue and starting to plan out a few projects for 2025. After having to cold sheep for the majority of this past year, I'm going into next year with some guidelines. When I purchase yarn, I really want to stick to purchasing for specific patterns. I took advantage of Miss Babs annual gratitude sale and purchased specifically for two patterns. I also want to continue to knit from stash whenever possible. I have paired up yarn with patterns for several and they've been moved up in my queue. I'll have more time, so I plan to participate in several swaps in 2025. I'll be getting yarn from these so I'm going to try to stick to swaps only for "unplanned" stash acquisition. I have several carry-over projects I didn't get to this year, which seems to be a theme every year. So tentatively this is my meager list for 2025: - Butterfly--Papillon with Urth Ya...

Year of Projects: Week 53; El Fin.

I thought I'd do a quick review of my Year of Projects. I started participating around week 5 so I'm summing up my year from that point to present. I have 24 project entries on Ravelry. (If I do several dishcloths back-to-back, I usually only make one project entry, so there are more than 24 individual finished items. Direct Link to Goal Post: YOP first post I finished: -3 pairs of fingerless mitts -2 pairs of mittens -2 pairs of socks -5 hats -2 cowls -2 baby blankets -16 dishcloths -1 potholder -1 shawl I have one sock that's going to be frogged and half of another dishcloth that's sitting around because I ran out of that colorway of yarn. I do have a few other WIPs still hanging about from prior to August of last year. (We're going to keep pretending they don't exist.) I made a simple little picture "movie" of my projects, enjoy: As far as my quickly thrown together list: I completed 3/5 of my projected projects......
