When I bought this skein of Patons Stretch Socks, it would have been more than enough to make a pair of socks for my daughter. These days, it was just enough for a pair of anklets.
But that works. It's another pair of socks for my kid and a little yarn used up from the stash.
I've been reading a slew of fun young adult horror novels.
Zomburbia by Adam J. Gallardo is set in Salem, Oregon, the town I grew up in. That's as good a reason as any to read a zombie novel, right? This is a different kind of zombie book than anything I've read. The apocalypse has already happened and, while there are still shufflers wandering the streets, Courtney Hart goes to a school surrounded by security fences and armed guards and works at a fast food chain to save for college. Life is pretty normal. Except for the fact that she sells a drug made from zombie brains while she's manning the drive thru and checks the news daily, hoping that New York City will be retaken from the shufflers because she plans to move there, she's got the same concerns as teenage girls in most other young adult novels.
A couple of years ago, Teenage Daughter came home from the library with a copy of family
Last summer, I was blown away by Contaminated by Em Garner. The sequel, Contaminated 2: Mercy Mode
