Are you there, God, it's me

Tuesday

Currently reading ONE HIT WONDER by Kristi Rose. 1st in the Samantha True mysteries.

A year into Samantha True’s forensic photography classes she knows three things:
1.Crime scenes are messy.
2.Especially when you throw up on them.
3.She may not be cut out for this.
When the police drag her to an investigation, she’s just as baffled by the scene. With clues like superhero masks, disco balls, and Bigfoot, are they ever going to find who did it?
As she digs deeper into the photographic evidence, she realizes her small town is full of secrets. And she might be happier staying in the dark.

Published 2019; 192 pages. Kindle Unlimited. I'm counting this as my scavenger hunt read for the prompt "pink on the cover." I'm officially reporting in book six in the series:

But I don't necessarily like to read out of order. So far the book is okay.

Going to be starting a second Retro-Romance book. I've paused the former second one. NEW AND ... IMPROVED? by Jill Shalvis and ANDREW IN EXCESS by Jennifer LaBrecque.

NEW AND...IMPROVED?
Going from geek to goddess ain't easy! As far as Kent Wright was concerned, Becca Lewis was just fine the way she was. A little mousy, maybe, but a sweet friend and a darn good chemist. So why did she have to go and wreck it all by having a makeover? Now she looked like some sexy siren out of a lingerie catalog, and when it came to chemistry...there was only one kind on Kent's mind!
ANDREW IN EXCESS
She's got the baby blues...Teacher Kat Devereaux was free spirited, unorthodox...and had a little problem with excess. And right now, her biological clock was ticking excessively loudly. What she needed was a temporary husband--one she couldn't possibly fall for. Andrew Winthrop III was stuffy, conservative and needed a wife. A marriage of convenience would solve both their problems. Only, neither one anticipated enjoying their mock marriage so excessively....

Published 2000; 384 pages.

I've decided to basically start over on the wedding afghan. The blue/orange color is too pale and looks like lavender. It looks like a baby blanket this couple aren't going to be having a baby. So I'm having the learning opportunity of ripping out the yarn. It's too expensive to just cut out. I've got new yarn on the way.

So that one is on pause until the new stuff shows up. Back to working on Steve's blankets.

Learned new stitches. Learned to work with smaller gauge yarn and hook. Learned to take out sections of yarn. Learned it's okay to start over.

Sprints tonight. I'll finish taking out the yarn. I'll work some on Steve's. I'll read some. In the meantime, gotta get through the day. With white stuff.
