Jinx

4.75⭐️1🌶
I severely fallen behind in my book posts, sorry.  Jinx by Juno Lark was good.  I enjoyed it.  Its book one of an urban fantasy shifter why choose romance series.  The shifters are gryphons, which was a first for me.  There is a pack dynamic with them, which I liked.  Each of the guys have a little bit different relationship with the FMC Cordelia.  Cordelia believes she is cursed.  At a young age her parents abandoned her and she was raised by her aunt.  After her aunt passes from cancer Cordie pickes up and moves to an upstate NY college town in an attempt to have a life.  It was her aunts dying wish for Cordie to live her dreams.  If Cordie touches the bare skin of another person, bad things happen to them, so she isolated herself with just her aunt for years.  She literally bumps into Bellamy, the first guy of this shifter brotherhood one day and a connection instantly formed between them.  There is a very complicated world beneath the surface and some really complex mythos going on.  We learn about it as Cordie does, so the world building is slow and deliberate.  Cordie was hidden from the pack and this world for an unknown reason, but she's got powerful magic she didn't know about.  She's also got an awesome gigantic Mainecoon cat.  This will be a series why choose, but there wasn't a while lot of action in this first book.  I enjoyed the way it unfolded an built slowly.  I really enjoyed all the guys, they each have their own baggage and it'll be interesting to see how they all interact with Cordie and eachother as this goes on.  It was a fun read and great for Cocktober, which I'm celebrating with as many 🍆 as I can.  It'll be out on the 20th.

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 34

     I did some crafting this week, but it was all for the swap.  I was nearly out of interfacing so I ran over to The Quilt Shop in Watertown.  I'd been there once a couple of years ago and thought their prices were very good considering they are independent and Joanne and Hobby Lobby were both in Watertown at the time.  They have really expanded and have a tremendous selection.  They have more novelty type fabrics now, which is what I prefer for my bags, so I will be going there much more often.... probably too much.  I got interfacing and I found two prints that were perfect for my swapee.  I really wasn't expecting to find what I did.  I sewed a bag with those two prints and two of the fabrics I picked up from Walmart.  The Walmart fabric was acceptable.  Not groundbreaking, but decent enough that if I find cute prints I'll probably grab them.  I finished the handknit earlier today.  I want to steam block it yet, ...
