Newest book from Hyperbole and a Half. Cartoon adventures about real life.
The only thing I didn't enjoy was the smell of the printing, presumably from all the dyes.
4 stars.

Book #5 in 2012
What's Your Number? by Karyn Bosnak.
Delightfully, funny story of Delilah Darling, an almost 30 single woman in New York City who decides to track down her old boyfriends and see if one of them might have been "the one". Just a fun, fun read.
4.5 stars.

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.

Stephanie Pearl-McPhee Casts Off, The Yarn Harlot's Guide to the Land of Knitting by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee.
Not my favorite SPM book, but enjoyable for a Knitter. I think there wasn't really enough material here for an entire book. It felt very stretched out. The material would have better made a nice series of magazine articles, I think.
3 stars. Add a star if your a total Yarn Harlot group. Subtract a star if you're not a knitter.

Book #35
Things I Learned from Knitting whether I wanted to or not by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee.
Another great book by the Yarn Harlot. Forty-five short essays about knitting. What could be better? (Ans: 50 essays!)
4.5 stars. Another book I should own. Actually, I think I do own it, but I couldn't find it, so I got it from the library this time. I pretty sure this is the book I bought when I got to see her at the Tattered Cover a while back.

At Knit's End, Meditations for Women Who Knit Too Much by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee.
A great book by The Yarn Harlot. It was hard to put down, but you really need to sometimes to digest and contemplate each short essay. I really must buy a copy of this to keep on my nightstand.
I'm guessing non-knitters wouldn't care for this, but who cares. It's a 5-star book full of wooly goodness.

Book #32
Yarn Harlot, the Secret Life of a Knitter by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee.
Great book of humorous knitting stories. I think this is my favorite SPM book. Love "The Green Afghan" and the fiber-stealin' squirrel stories. Enjoyable for any knitter.
Knitters can give this book an extra star!
