Randomness
Annette | February 23, 2010Just some odds and ends to share….
First, I snapped this (with my Blackberry) yesterday as I was leaving work:
I was sitting in the vanpool van, this isn’t thru my windshield. The rainbow was so bright! It was lovely.
Here’s my Olympic knitting progress:
Sadly, my Olympic goal is not looking good. This is a two-skein project and I’ve yet to finish the first one (seen on the left). We shall see.
I did manage to finish the latest in the Mirabilia RR – this is a portion of Violet.
I also finished a couple books… and have to recommend one of them to any fan of good old fashioned sword/sorcery/epic fantasy.
The Way of Shadows by Brent Weeks
This is the first in a trilogy and by all that’s holy, do *not* read the blurb for the second book before you finish the first one. MAJOR spoiler right there!! It’s got magic, politics, fighting, assassins, heroes and a nice twisty plot 
Pretty rainbow! I bet those are quite rare in the desert (they’re not all that common here). I need to place an Amazon order soon. Might sneak a book in there….
Oooooh, new fantasy book. Woot! I’ll pass the recommendation to my mom, too; she absolutely rips through all of the fantasy series books.
I loved Way of Shadows. I have the other two here to read but now I think I might have to reread Way of Shadows before starting book 2. I think it’s been a year maybe even two since I read it.
I’ll have to put Way of Shadows on my list. You’ve never steered me wrong! BTW, I started Dead Witch Walking yesterday. It’s keeping me entertained while on the exercise bike.
I do like the colors of that yarn so very much.
I have a real fondness for assassins. Need to add that to to The List. Violet looks lovely on that fabric.
