I've been way behind in Wuthering Heights and am listening to both WH and Jane Eyre in tandem. I started getting the two story lines garbled up! I think I was confusing Nellie Dean with Grace Poole for a few episodes, LOL!
Hello! This sounds like a fascinating book. I have lost my spinning mojo, and this could be just the thing to get me and my spindles going again. Please enter me in the drawing.
I am also very intrigued by the Zentangles you've been talking about. They look awesome, and one can't have too many creative hobbies, right??
