Review: Six Angry Girls - Adrienne Kisner - August 2020 Lately, I have been reading a lot more YA books as I go through different phases with my reading. I wasn't sure what to expect with Six Angry Girls but I found myself loving this book as it talked about Social Justice and Feminism. The book starts with one of the main girls Raina being dumped by her long-time boyfriend and so she writes a letter to an Agony Aunt who tells her to get a hobby like knitting. She then joins an LYC - Local Yarn Club and finds comfort in knitting and these knitters are very proactive in the community with activism via knitting things like genitals and body parts etc. They have lots of laughs too which I loved. Another one of the Six - Millie has always been part of the local Mock Court Trial club at the school - she is the only girl in the team and now has been dropped from the group as the boys have overthrown her, it also seems wherever she goes, the male sex just wants to walk...

Scenes from the Hallway, an all new novella from USA Today bestselling author Penny Reid, is LIVE and as a special Valentine’s Day gift from Penny it’s FREE! Synopsis From the USA TODAY Bestselling romantic comedy series, 'Scenes from the Hallway,' Knitting in the City #6.5 You know who I am. I swear too much, I crack too many jokes, and I got a thing for Kat Tanner; a messy thing, a distracting thing, a getting-in-the-way-of-everything thing; a thing that makes being in the same room with the woman torture. Sometimes it's the good kind. Mostly, it's not. What you don't know is how it all started. You don't know how we met, you might not know what happened in Vegas (or the morning after), and you definitely don't know what happened after that. You want to know the story before the story? Well . . . here you go. But be careful what you ask for. As I've discovered the hard way, you might not like it. 'Scenes from the Hallway' i...

                      Review: Beauty and the Mustache - Book #4 Knitting in the City , Book #0.5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - December 2014 I have to admit I am not a major fan of the Knitting in the City series as the characters seem to rub me the wrong way, but  The Winston Brothers series is a whole different story. So though Beauty and the Mustache is technically a Knitting in the City story, I decided to read it due to the main character being a Winston.  Beauty and the Mustache is the story of Ashley Winston who has just arrived home after being away in Chicago for the past eight years. Mama Winston - Bethany is sick and dying and doesn't have long to live. Her mum has also made Dr. Drew Runous her power of attorney, and he also owns her house, so that when the time came to it, their father wouldn't have any claim as long as they sta...
