Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens, great story, easy read.  I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a good book to read.  Happy reading!

On April 28, 2020 I received my copies of Saltwater Mittens and Saltwater Classics books from Amazon. Amazing books, lots of information and lots of patterns.  On May 2, I started my first project from the Saltwater Classics book called the Moose Cap in Briggs and Little yarn finished the cap on May 5.

New Book-Book Review-Catherine Cookson

NOTE:  I did not write this review, I found it on the internet.


An Appropriate Good-bye

It seems appropriate somehow that Catherine Cookson's final novel should be so typical of her work and so celebratory of the area she wrote so much about. Cookson fans will read it as a fitting good-bye.

The Desert Crop is the final work of this author of over 90 novels. Though that equals almost one for each of Cookson's years on the planet, her first novel wasn't published until she was 44. That book -- Kate Hannigan -- was originally published in 1950. Born June 27, 1906, she received the OBE in 1985 and was created a Dame of the British Empire in 1993. Dame Catherine died on June 11, 1998 at home near Newcastle in England.

As Pure As The Lily-Catherine Cookson

Catherine Cookson Books

I got a little reminder from Madonna today that I am behind in my posting.  She's keeping a close eye on me so I thought I would publish this little post for you.

As you can see from my book list, I am reading a Catherine Cookson book this month, called "The Blind Miller" first published in 1963.   This is my third Catherine Cookson book and I find them very interesting, sort of like historical romance novels with a little mystery in them.

Catherine Cookson was a British author born in 1906.  She died in 1998, just 16 days before her 92nd birthday.  She published almost 100 books in her career starting with the novel "Kate Hannigan" in 1950.

I would really like to read her Tilly Trotter trilogy, which was published in the early 1980s.  I am keeping an eye out for these books at flea markets and second hand stores, but haven't had any luck yet.  If anyone know where I can find them, please let me know.

That's it for today.  Pick up a Catherine Cookson novel and enjoy the trip back in time.
