It took 3 months, but they finally got to me!!! Yay! Cordelia sent me The Cereal Murders by Diane Mott Davidson, full of food and thrills.

Also included was an Annie’s Crochet issue full of kitten patterns…July August 1997! I may never make them, but I love the cats!

This package was mailed out on September 2, 2005 and reached me on December 5, 2005. Surface mail. Cordelia never lost hope, though I did.

So now there is one less package with my name littering outer space. Sad. 😉

Kimberley: I should have known a post about the post (pun, pun, pun) would bring you out of commenting hibernation…

Dude: I’m honoured you still follow my postings…

There was a sale of books surplus from American libraries in Vizag and I got lucky!!! I got this book, Crocheting for Pleasure, by Mildred Graves Ryan for Rs 95 (about US $2)

Then this British book, called simply Crochet, for Rs 195 (about US $4)

This one, McCall’s Needlework Treasury, for Rs 295 (about US $6)

And of course, I had to have this:

I have caught my first-ever bookcrossing book! Susan (a postcrossing and bookcrossing friend) sent me this book, a delicious mix of food and murder:

These two books by Jonathan Kellerman, but with different covers:

Borrowed these two from a library nearby, through some friends who have access.

The Ruth Rendell cover is not the same as the copy I’m reading, but I couldn’t find that one on the web…

Yes, I bought a book today, The Public Confessions of a Middle-Aged Woman, by Sue Townsend. I’ve enjoyed her Adrian Mole books, and am already liking what I’ve read so far in this one. It’s a collection of her columns for Sainsbury’s The Magazine.


I borrowed this from a friend and had a very nice hour browsing through it, Now just imagine if the entire thing were crochet alone! Yum!
