When growing up did your family share your love of books? If so, did one person get you into reading? And, do you have any family-oriented memories with books and reading? (Family trips to bookstore, reading the same book as a sibling or parent, etc.)
Actually, my family didn’t and still doesn’t share my love of [...]

One book at a time? Or more than one? If more, are they different types/genres? Or similar?
Usually more than one at a time but rarely more than two. And almost always different genres, although they may be similiar in tone.

My WIPs are slow moving lately. I haven’t picked up my hook since right before I left for Texas, and all of my works are still in progress. I’m still working on my two crib blankets, my butterfly shawl, and my daughter’s spirit blanket. I’ve yet to make a single stitch in the felted slippers, [...]

I’m a little late on this one since I was out of town, but here goes:
Do you have multiple copies of any of your books?
If so, why? Absent-mindedness? You love them that much? First Editions for the shelf, but paperbacks to read?

I’m such a book whore. I just took it upon myself to purchase a copy of Crocheted Socks: 16 Fun-To-Stitch Patterns from Amazon for just $6.95. Publisher’s price is $18.95, and I can never pass up a bargain on a crochet book or novel I like. I’ve borrowed this book half-a-dozen times from the library, [...]

Anyone who has read any part of my blog knows I love books of all shapes, sizes, and subjects. Recently, I’ve stumbled upon some really good deals.
I love Amazon.com, which is where I get most of my books, but have you ever visited Ebay’s site, Half.com? I don’t care much for ebay usually, but so far, I’m likin’ them as much as–or possibly more in some cases–than Amazon. I bought a brand new, never before read hardback of Mistress [...]

Our library has a nice lil’ “booktique” in it, full of books that people have donated or books they no longer need on the library shelves. I like to go in and scroll through the shelves, looking for a bargain. I rarely find anything crochet-related, but I did run across this little jewel: Do [...]

Thanks to a link on Ravelry, I found this little book tidbit called Booking Through Thursday, so I thought “Sure, I’ll play along”. So here goes:
Just Wild About Harry
1. Okay, love him or loathe him, you’d have to live under a rock not to know that J.K. Rowling’s final Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, [...]
