I look at my Kindle suggested reading list and give bombastic side eye to whomever programmed it to believe that I would only ever want to read 100 other titles like the one I just finished. 😒😩🙄

The audacity of me to want to explore topics I haven’t already encountered?! 🤷🏽‍♀️

I have found similar patterns of the dye but I think that it gives the yarn character. Maybe you might also try overdoing the finished pieces as well for a little more saturation in the lighter areas?

When life gives you lemons half them, ream them, add honey, infuse thyme and rosemary in hot water and combine because you'll likely need to fortify your immunity for whatever's coming down the pipeline.

After I finish this library book due in a few days, I’m going to finally finish “No Telephone to Heaven” and then round out the holiday season into the New Year in my Zadie Smith era give or take some other fiction mixed in.
