Book #26 in 2011

All Wound Up, the yarn harlot writes for a spin by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee.

Knitting humor, if there is such a thing. Not as good as some of her previous books, but not as bad as others.

4 stars for fan-girls
3 stars for non-fan-girl knitters

I can't imagine anyone else reading this.

Book #25 in 2011 (Audio)

While My Sister Sleeps by Barbara Delinsky. Read by Cassandra Campbell.

10 Hours, 10 minutes.

Interesting story about how a family reacts when one of the (grown) children has a heart attack and is ultimately declared brain dead. We really only get to know this sister through brief journal entries and how the other characters talk and feel about her. I think the author makes the mom too much of a bitch in the beginning. It is hard to have any sympathy for her.

3.5 stars as chick lit.
