Now, in this wonderful age of the internet, I can (and do) borrow audio-books, ebooks and print books. In this way, I get to read books that I would otherwise never knew existed.
This month, I have borrowed the following from the library:
- the books in print
- I have yet to open The Quilt: a history and a celebration of an American art form
- I really liked Cut the Scraps – in fact, I might even put it on my wish-list (I have a birthday in April)
- The book about Kaffe Fassett’s V&A Quilts was interesting but I won’t be adding to to my collection
- I have yet to open Kaffe Knits Again
- Prayer Shawl Companion has some interesting patterns (including one by Kaffe Fassett) but I won’t be adding it to my collection; readers who consider “prayer shawls” a peculiarly Christian expression may be surprised by the inclusion of all faiths and eastern mysticisms
I have borrowed this digital media (listed alphabetically by title for convenience):
- A Lady of Expectations by Stephanie Laurens (e-book) -- finished
- Jack Lester has to find a bride but where can he find the perfect woman? - A Man’s Heart by Lori Copeland (audiobook) -- finished
- after the death of her father and her best friend, a young woman struggles to salvage the farm, honour a promise and win back the man whose heart she broke - Captain Thunderbolt and His Lady by Carol Baxter (e-book) -- slowly reading
- the story of Australian bushrangers Frederick Ward and Mary Ann Bugg; I’ve only read a couple of chapters and am finding it fairly dry - Old Tokyo by Sumiko Enbutso (e-book) -- so far I have only read the introduction
- a walking tour of Tokyo’s old downtown - The Golden Mountain by Irene Kai (audiobook) -- reading

- a romance set in North Dakota in the late 1800s; written by a Christian author, there is a list of discussion questions at the end of the book
