Tallie and the Total Eclipse by Anya Monroe

Young Adult

10/10E

 (I thought Maggie's tale in book 1 was crazy [or as is said in book 2 'cray cray'], but Tallie is even more of a disaster.)

Deadly Curiosities: Vendetta by Gail Z Martin

LISTENED

10E/10E

(An eerie audiobook for review with an extremely clever plot and lots of character growth.)

Sparkled by Gina LaManna

Cozy mystery

NOT FINISHED - 10/10E

(Occasional strong language and adult romance aside, this is a funny tale of a 20 something girl who is and works for the Mafia in her bumbling way...)

(Review coming soon, absolutely loved what was essentially looking at all the Pretty Rhythm series with some new material!)

Aikatsu: Season 4

Music Idol anime, Japanese version

10E/10E

(Time for a Hinaki episode, as she helps Vivid Kiss's designer come up with ideas for a new Premium Dress, although I was more interest in seeing Mikuru again!)

Hidamari Sketch:  Season 1

Slice of Life anime, Japanese version

10E/10E

(With so many textures and views used this art themed anime is a pleasure to watch, and very funny tops it off...)

Clannad

Slice of Life anime (maybe), English version

10E/10E

(This bittersweet anime with strongly emotional and slightly mystical themes and me bawling my eyes out, and it wasn't even the end!)

Craft and more

Managed a bit of game time on Eternal Sonata, although currently annoyed as I'm at a part where it's the two brothers, Allegretto and Beat - no girls!)

I finished a brightly coloured baby blanket this week!

I'm experimenting with pattern ideas for what I'd like to be a checkered pattern. So far I've found a non-checkered arrangement which I may make as a future project ...

I got busy in the kitchen and made chocolate with orange fudge ....

 I was worried zest from 1 orange wouldn't be enough, but it worked great, not overpowering.
