Bilbo's Last Song by J.R.R. Tolkien
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A new to me JRR Tolkien work, exquisitely illustrated by Pauline Baynes, this was marvelous. While initially a quick read, the illustrations and endnotes make for lingering meditation. Bilbo's song invites reflection.

Now that I am aware of its existence, this book is a must have for my library.

I've decided on my yarn...

...for the Desolation of Smaug Shawl Mystery Knit-a-Long

beginning on July 1, 2013.  My choice is Madelinetosh 's Tosh Merino DK in Tart.  It's an absolutely lovely yarn with incredible depth.  It's red rings true to me of Smaug.

Chicken Soup with Rice

Chicken Soup with Rice: A Book of Months by Maurice Sendak

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This is a marvelous book by Maurice Sendak. Rhyming poems for each month, it sings the praises of chicken soup with rice. My three daughters loved having this read to them ad infinitum. Fun!

Sharp Objects

Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Having read Gillian Flynn's _Gone Girl_, I eagerly anticipated the opportunity to binge on _Sharp Objects_, her debut novel. Binge I did. If I could have read it in one sitting, I would have, but I ran out of hours in the day.

Mysterious, foreboding, tightly written--_Sharp Objects_ will keep you on the edge of your seat until the final page. Now, to read _Dark Places_!

Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls

Let's Explore Diabeties with Owls by David Sedaris

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


FINALLY! Am downloading the audiobook from Audible as I type. Guess what I'm doing today?

ETA
Thoroughly enjoyed the book, most especially the majority of personal stories that sedaris shares and reads. David Sedaris reading his works aloud is quite the best way of partaking of them. Highly recommend. FYI, R rated.
