Stardusted and Starfalling

5⭐️.5🌶

So remember I read Starshipped as an ARC and loved it? As soon as I caught up with ARC reads I jumped back to these and read books one and two in the It's Definitely Not Aliens trilogy. They were both excellent. Book one Stardusted sets everything up; introduces Sky, Raven, and Amelia. It sets up the Enil, which are the robot creatures and the halix, which is the Pladian info cache that Raven accidentally downloads into her brain. Can you say Jack O'Neill much? Book one also highlights the pull between Sky and Rae. Even after she discovers Sky is an alien, there is no denying she's still crushing on him. There is some very hot steam in the first book, but we don't get past making out (in the stairwell) til book two. Stardusted was a great first book.

Starfalling was also phenomenal. Sky and Raven are on the run from the Enil and License 16, the secret government agency. (Think Men in Black.) They go to Florida to get to Bast, Sky's Pladian partner. Bast is a riot, he is crazy snarky and picks on both Rae and Sky. They learn a little more about how much data downloaded into Rae's brain from the halix. Rae's health is really impacted by the halix. Sky and Rae are in close proximity to eachother while they're on the run. They also have to switch out vehicles a few times on the run, which turns Rae into a criminal, which she hates. The while situation pushes Rae outside of her comfort zone, but she takes everything pretty well considering. Sky and Rae's attraction heats up and this book is quite a bit spicier than the first. It was a good solid book two. I was tempted to skim through book three again even though I just read it. I wasn't quite ready to leave these characters yet but alas I've got to get back to ARCs. I want to get physical copies of this series. I plan to re-read them in the future. It was a great trilogy with wonderful banter, found family and mercifully a happy ending. Sky is such a sweet, caring manlien. I'm looking forward to reading more books by Elle DeYesso in the future. I enjoy her writing style.

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 31

I finished the tote bag for my co-worker. It turned out awesome. I seriously thought about giving her the original one I made for myself and keeping this second one. I had shown Nancy a selection of fabrics and let her pick which ones she wanted with the alpaca print. I think her combo came out so nicely. I finished everything up late in the evening, so the pictures are dark. I also neglected to take a nice closeup of my fancy new tags. I have two or three more bags planned out to do in the next couple weeks so hopefully I'll get a little better pictures. I finished the dishcloth I was working on yesterday and started another. Revenge of Dish Rag Lizard Ridge I'm changing colors for each short row section. I'm going for a rainbow. I need to find more black for the ridges in between. I have another project I should really be doing instead. I need to dig around and find the yarn...
