Spinning The Yarn: Harry Potter Edition Part 2

Spinning The Yarn is a weekly feature here at Ruby's Books in which I share some of my favorite knitting and crochet patterns inspired by books, with the occasional movie and TV show fandoms. 

Hello my dear geeky bookish people and welcome to another edition of Spinning The Yarn. I'll be honest with you, I wasn't entirely sure I was going to make yet another Harry Potter edition this week, but I recently discovered one of the patterns that I'm going to show you today and I fell in love and I knew I had to share it with my fellow geeky friends. So without further ado, let's get started with

WARNING: Some bad words might be used in the following post. Don't say I didn't warn you!

Hello fellow book lovers! By now you're probably familiar with my Down The TBR Hole series of posts, but in case you're not, it's a feature hosted by Lia @ Lost In A Story where you look over your TBR shelf and you clean it of any books you know you're not going to read. I've been doing it for almost two months now, with 15-20 books a week, and while Since I started doing it I've realized a few things about myself and I thought I'd share with you guys. So without further ado, here are

Top Ten Tuesday: Books With Sensory Reading Memories

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl

Guys, I am so excited about today's Top Ten Tuesday topic! One thing you need to know about me is that while I'm reading, it isn't just my eyes that are engaged in the reading process. Most of the time all of my senses are engaged in the reading process, so much so that I start associating sounds, smells, even seasons to certain stories, and that makes those stories stick to my head. I also remember when I read certain books, where I was... It's what makes them special, in a way.

So without further ado, here are

Spinning The Yarn: Harry Potter Edition Part 1

Hello my dear bookish lovers and welcome to today's edition of Spinning The Yarn, which is going to be all about Harry Potter.

I'll admit, I started getting back in the habit of knitting and crochet because of a pattern inspired by Luna Lovegood, that I'll get back to in a little bit. So I thought I'd start this feature with the most obvious choice, because who doesn't want more Harry Potter nerdy stuff in their life? So without further ado, let's get started!

ARC August 2018: Sign-Up Post

Can you believe it's already time for the annual ARC August challenge? I can't believe how fast time has flown. Also, this is my 5th year participating! 5 YEARS!! Wow! In case you don't know what ARC August is (HOW?), it's basically a month-long reading challenge where you commit to reading ARCs. It's a challenge hosted by the wonderful girls from Read.Sleep.Repeat. There are also a few surprises planned, like two readathons AND a bingo card that I am very excited about. For more information, rules and how to sign up, check out the original sign-up post here.

This year I'm looking at making a dent in my shame pile, meaning those ARCs that are long overdue. So without further ado, here's my reading list for this year:

• Reign of The Fallen by Sarah Glenn Marsh
• Bonfire by Krysten Ritter
• Bayou Born by Hailey Edwards
• The Accidental Bad Girl by Maxine Kaplan
• Wolf Hollow by Nikki Jefford

• Red Sister by Mark Laurence
• The Illusionist's Apprentice by Kristy Cambron
• Becoming Bonnie by Jenni L. Walsh
• Done Dirt Cheap by Sarah Nicole Lemon
• The Dark Of The Moon by E.S. Bell

I've settled on just 10 books this time, which seems doable to me. If I manage to read all of these books *fingers crossed* and there's still time, I might add a few more older ARCs. We'll see. I am so excited for August to start!!

What about you guys? Are you participating in ARC August?
