Revisiting the Bernie Gunther novels by Philip Kerr. So far "The One From the Other" stands out for its clever subversion of detective story tropes. #booksky 📚

Finally finished Lonesome Dove. Couldn't put it down, though it is filled with stupidity and brutality, and suffused with a sense of the ultimate pointlessness of seemingly epic journeys. #booksky

Everyone has their favorite #janeausten illustrations, and mine are those by Philip Gough, done for a British edition of her novels by Macdonald and Company in the 1940s and 50s. #booksky 📚

When I took a class on #janeausten from Juliette Wells, I didn't realize that I was embarking on a basic rethinking of both myself as a reader & fan & of the entire body of responses to & reworkings of Austen. Her book Everybody's Jane: Austen in the Popular Imagination, is a turning point #booksky

Finished my #pridemonth Fields of Brioche Shawl by Jonatan Tollow. I used @uplandfiberco.bsky.social Cor Fingering. It's a relaxing brioche project that creates a subtle yet striking effect. 🧶 #justknitting #showmeyourknits

My #wip for #pridemonth is the Fields of Brioche Shawl by Jonatan Tollow, using @uplandfiberco.bsky.social Cor Fingering. A friend calls this my "gray scale rainbow" but the point to me is to support lgbtq makers #knitting #showmeyourknits 🧶

Finally blocked my 2 color version of Coastal Highway by Lisa Ross. Tried a lot of colors with the Magpie Fibers Swanky Sock Castaway but figured out it has a bluish undertone, so I ended up using Emma's Yarn Practically Perfect Sock in Orbit. 🧶 #justknitting #showmeyourknits

Been awhile since I left my book comfort zone, but Indian Burial Ground by Nick Medina got my English major juices bubbling again. It's a fascinating genre-buster. Listening to it for the second time and looking forward to checking out his first novel. #booksky #books #reading

Profoundly disgusted and ashamed of the U.S. government's treatment of Ukrainian President Zelensky. Ukraines's security is our security. We must relentlessly oppose Russian aggression against Europe. 💙💛
