Paying it Forward (free books anyone?)

May 10th, 2008 by monnibo

Seeing as my post about the Pay it Forward novel, and my way to pay it forward got buried into my blog… here it is again!!

My Way to Pay it Forward:

The book, Pay it Forward by Catherine Ryan Hyde, really touches you. It made me a bit teary-eyed, but it’s also showing how simple it is to just help a few other people out.

Now I don’t have 3 copies of this novel to Pay it Forward, but I have got some other books. I have some gently used fantasy, mystery, and romance novels (all gently used). So I would like to Pay it Forward to you. Please post here if you’d like a book!! (Yes you can request specific books)

I guess as the movement goes, the first three people to express and interest for a novel can have it! (But if there is more interest than three, post anyway!!) All I ask is that you either give the book (or any book) to someone else. It doesn’t have to be 3 people, but share the reading love!

Books I have Located:

  • Running with the Demon by Terry Brooks
  • A Knight of the Word by Terry Brooks
  • Angel Fire East by Terry Brooks
  • Seize the Night by Dean Koontz
  • Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz
  • State of Fear by Michael Crichton
  • All About Passion by Stephanie Laurens
  • Wild by Fabio
  • Her Master and Commander by Karen Hawkins

Crochet with Chelle

May 10th, 2008 by monnibo

On Thursday Chelle and I met up at Steeps on Broadway for my crochet lesson! I’d originally suggested 3pm so of course even though we’d decided on 2pm, I’d had 3 stuck in my head… by the time I realized that it was supposed to be 2, I was already late… not to mention Vancouver afternoon traffic.

I finished my ugh-ly first crochet cloth-thing! Ta da!!

Chelle gave me a lovely belated bday gift / welcome home:

Such a cute little bag!! Perfect for a small project as I don’t have one of those. Sooo soft KnitPicks ShineWorsted in “Grass”. I can’t get a true colour — it’s not that mossy/muted… it’s really rich! And the sexiest needle/hook I’ve ever owned — Brittany wood (nom nom nom). Thanks sooo much Chelle!

And I started to crochet in a circle! I must remember my slip stitch when I finish the circle to go up to the next round, instead of spiraling.

(at home) This colour is a little more acurate for the yarn.
