Juggling the demands of her yarn shop and single-handedly raising a teenage daughter has made Georgia Walker grateful for her Friday Night Knitting Club.

 Rating:  - fun, easy readI enjoyed reading this book. For the most part, the characters are easy to visualize and follow. However, there are too many characters, which just complicate the story.

A yarn shop with bins of colorful yarn was a very appealing setting. Did I get the feeling that Georgia and James were in love? No. And what was the point of Cat? She tags along on a trip to Scotland and then she's barely mentioned while they ... Read More Rating: - Kept me in StitchesI listened to this book over two days and thoroughly enjoyed it. I managed to clean my whole house and walk an endless beach and back (luckily alone - tears in a crowd while listening to a book can be embarrassing) while enjoying the book. The woman she has reading the novel does a wonderful job and I think really made the book come alive. There were a lot of different characters she had to portray and she captured their characters with her voice very very well. I hope Kate has this ... Read More |
