Scythe & Sparrow

5 ⭐️ 2 🌶
I finished Scythe & Sparrow by Brynne Weaver Saturday.  It was a brilliant third installment and conclusion to this trilogy.  I highly enjoyed all three books.  I found this one to be more emotional or at least portions of it hit me harder than the other two books.  I think I enjoyed the second book the most out of the three but overall they were all very fun reads.  I especially enjoyed how all three intertwined.  Certain events were seen from the perspective of multiple characters that way.  All of the books were duel POV which I also particularly like.  The banter in all three of these books was top notch and I can get through almost any subject matter as long as there's banter and fun characters mixed into the gore.  I will be reading more Byrnne Weaver books in the future, I enjoy the way she writes and the characters she develops.

I signed up for a couple ARCs a week or two ago and forgot about it completely.  Saturday I received an email stating I had been chosen to receive Until I Die by Deidra Duncan.  I started the book last evening and read 52% of it in one sitting til the wee hours of the morning.  I was hooked at about page two.  I'm not sure I can put into words the grip this book has on me.  It's a gritty dystopian romance with true enemies to lovers.  It's set in what could be the near future and has major Handmaid's Tale vibes.  It's giving me Viridian Priestess vibes with this very dangerous MMC.  I can't stop thinking about this story and these characters.  More on this one when I finish it.  It has potential to be my favorite 2025 book and a six star read.  Happy reading.

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 30

      I didn't have a very eventful crafting week.  My time was limited and I think the weather is affecting my knitting mojo.  I had to work last weekend so my husband picked up the items from the fair along with the help of our daughter.  It looks as though she was supposed to get a first place ribbon for her earrings but they forgot to attach the ribbon, or it was attached and fell off.  I'll get an official notification in the mail with our winnings in a few weeks.       My garden was looking really good, the peppers and carrots had almost completely regrown.  I made the comment to myself Saturday evening when I was watering everything that "oh wow its all looking really good."  My parents came over for lunch Sunday so I took my mom over to see the garden.  We've been busy so they haven't been over since we put in the raised beds.  Well, the joke was on me.  The deer or whatever it is came back and decim...

YOP: Week 35

    Not much to report this week.  I didn't do much crafting.  I finished the swap, got it packaged up and mailed out.  It should have arrived to my recipient yesterday.  I'll share what I made.  The theme was Favorite Things.  She likes the colors pale yellow and deep dark red and dragons, so I went all out with the dragons.  I chose  Dragon Scale Mitts  for the handmade item.  I used Madeline Tosh Sport in the Tart colorway.   My camera doesn't really do this colorway justice.  It has more depth in real life.  I think they came out nicely though. I was able to find dragon fabric at The Quilt Shop.  I made a reversible project bag. I paired each dragon fabric with one of her favorite colors.  Liara really liked the dragon fabric as well.  I'm probably going to get some more when I go again.  I also sent some stationary items and a bunch of Swedish Fish, which were also things she had req...
