Once again there is a lot of superantural fiction in the list thanks to my sisters influence which I mentioned in last years post here. I'm still really enjoying what I read although I might try to throw a few classics into the mix for this year..... maybe :)
Also, if you'd like to see how I've rated any of the above books you can check them out in my Goodreads. You can also read a bit about the story and checkout other peoples reviews which is where I get a lot of my recommendations.
Lastly, if you've read something that you think I might like.... please share! :)
Until next time.....

FIS Swap
Now I can show you the things that I sent to my Friends In Stitching Christmas swap partner Jane of Sweet Cinnamon Stitches ..... the main present that she opened on Christmas day is one of my all-time favourite patterns by Janelle Wind - A Frilly Dilly Bag. Jane tells me this has been on her to-do list for some time.... I guess she can cross that one off now! :)
This is the inside of the bag showing one of my labels..... I had these made up quite some time ago now but usually forget to put them on the things I make.... glad I remembered this time!
And these are the other little pressies I sent that were opened each day on
the five days leading up to Chrissy:
This was such a fun swap to put together!
Until next time....
