Beautiful Agony Spanish

Books in May

The Iron King (Iron Fey, #1) Julie Kagawa: The Iron King (Iron Fey 1)

Genre: Fantasy with romance


Meghan long-awaited 16th Atastrophe birthday turns out to be as mean. First, she is the boy she adores publicly humiliated for months, they expect instead of her little brother a malicious changeling at home. Good thing there are still her best friend Robbie: For the opened Ihrr suddenly realized that his real name Puck (yes of), and will help her to find a way to fairyland to rescue her brother. But that's not ending surprises for Meghan: Once in the fairy realm, she must learn that it is Oberon's daughter. And that also brings some political complications. In particular, as Meghan in the Son of Oberon's counterpart, the Queen of the Unseelie, in love, of her endeavor but rather from life than to return her feelings.

I'm a little annoyed by the phantstischen teen romances. Meghan is also again a little annoying heroine. But considered that, it's really have a well-made book. The two rival love interest puck and Ash are interesting enough that you are the reader can not quite decide who you find better. The story offers not only romance but also a very good dose of action and suspense. Beautiful girl fantasy, a little sticks out of the commodity.

Addiction Factor: Kagawa
is one of the few writers who can build this suction effect that can captivate the reader of the book and the series

Episode Purchase:
I currently reading Volume 2, fine, but I'm something of this nature books tired of seeing so times ...

Elizabeth Scott: Bloom
Elizabeth Scott: Maybe Something

Genre: Young Adult Literature


Comment:
The two do not get their own show. I had her other book "Perfect You" like it so much that I wanted to read more. Unfortunately, both were relatively weak and inconsequential. Furthermore I do not want many words . Lose


Vampirgeflüster: Roman Charlaine Harris: Whispers Vampire (Sookie Stackhouse 9)

Genre: Urban Fantasy


Comment:
senseless continuation of a series which is already far too long. The author relies mittelrweile only on the wonderfully endearing and strange characters that are loved by readers enough that they no longer claim for a usable plot. Annoying. Also annoying: the German translation is not very good.

addictive:
uses just something from subsequent purchases from

:
Really? I do not know if I would like to do to me that the next volume.






Magic Bleeds (Kate Daniels, #4) Ilona Andrews: Magic Bleeds (Kate Daniels 4)

Genre: Urban Fantasy

place in this fourth volume must mercenary Kate Daniels is a dangerous opponent that wherever he goes, Shapeshifter can lose control and break out deadly epidemics can. At the same time they must face their heritage and their feelings.
This fourth volume marks a decisive turning point in the series. On the one hand, he is great, the characters are deep, as always, the plot seems fast and the series, unlike other genres of the * top * German to lead to one point. On the other hand I was after reading not as happy as I thought I would be. The reasons are again the fact that Andrews has made as her love interest in such a masculine and potent that it has drifted back into the ridiculous, what the truly great romantic / erotic scenes has genommeen clearly the stimulus. The other reason was that the book is just 30-50 pages too long, and use some streamlining in the fight scenes would have can. Still, Andrews is one of the top 5 of the undeniably best writers of the genre and it is always interesting that you wait a year for one of her books.

addictive: I
fever or not to tape 5 - the waiting time for a new Kate is still more intolerable long.

Episode Purchase:
YES YES YES YES YES!

Horny Brasilian Thin Women Trailer

blog break vs. Knitting break

so nothing happened for 2 months, but that was more likely to have further tests, etc. The yarn is, so here an update, even if the projects are ready for some time.

first Finished pictures of the socks from the last entry:

March Mystery Socks the SKA group (Belle Vitini knitted with yarns Super Uni in the color of grass and 2.5 mm needles)

March Mystery Socks Socks the Solid Group (Tea and Scandal Socks, knitted with yarns Super Uni in the color of sun and 3mm needles)

the socks from the March KAL Together with Knitting (Spring theme pattern): The pattern is Sacre du Printemps, they are knitted wool socks with needles of Gründl (from Nicholas package) and 3 mm.


second Not mentioned completed projects:

birthday socks for mom (pattern: Paraphernalia, knitted with yarns Super Active in gray and 3mm needles)

A stole from my first Magic ball. Simultaneously the first project with dropped stitches. I had have always been afraid to drop the wrong mesh, but it is quite easy:) I have not worn the stole, she is very very long now .. over 2m. Magic Ball Schoppel in color Fuchsienbeet & 5mm needles, the pattern is One Skein - A Stole.

That is her folded out;) I find the effect of the colors are so beautiful already.
from the rest of my Wollmeise superwash 100% merino in the color of Neptune, I have a needled Cowl: The pattern is

Abstract Leaves Cowl, I have 4 needles used.
The second image shows the great splendor of the wool better


third Commenced Projects - Current Wip's: First

the oldest Wip:
My Tschamelljon.


Now I am much further, I've finished the second half of the body, sewn to the first turn, sewn and stuffed tail, the legs are finished and only need to be stuffed and sewn together.
The reason that there is always a work in progress lying around here, is that I have left for the pipe cleaner with my parents who come to form the legs, etc. with the body.
for the animals gabs a lot of new techniques for me to try, but using video and the instructions worked all good:)

then two more in May Mystery Socks:

My favorite from the group Solid Socks:
Meanwhile, I've done a complete sock. The pattern of this world! And looks more complicated than it is.

knit with the Olympics by the HWF in grass green and 3mm needles. The wool suits me more than that of Supergarne.com. I prefer knitting relatively strong and therefore needs to take patterns for 64-mesh 3mm needles. With the needle size I get in super yarns but sometimes not really hard mesh. This is only 2.5 mm needles .. and then you have just fit the pattern again;)

Mystery Socks by Cookie A. from the SKA group:


I know, grumble at NEM free sample is not necessarily appropriate. But really I do not enjoy that and by the 2nd Sock I'll probably have to force myself to get ready. You have to constantly
stringy, only 2 stitches. The pattern is not complicated .. but for me just not really true.
Knitted with 2.5 mm needles and yarns Super Uni purple in fashion.

for breaks in which I had knitted socks finished the Mystery As for the current Clues, I needed something too. And since Stashabbau was announced, I looked for a design for which I can use up the black 4ply Merino wool from the HWF. I found the Plain and simple sweaters. This is the right one for evenings when football is running or otherwise a good film, because you can also knit stockinette times and do not watch it. A recent photograph not
:

In the original, the pattern no waist, I have a proposal for a project on Ravelry installed. Meanwhile, I'm already at the increases for the upper body.

And then I also started something else. Something quite new.
spiders!
As a small reward for the trials I have got a starter kit ordered from the wool of sheep. A simple medium heavy hand spindle with 3 Kammzugproben from Eider wool, wool and merino. Which are now all spinning and sometimes twisted. Meanwhile, I spun the first colorful Merinokammzug more than half.
It is not as difficult as thought and makes a lot of fun!
Here are photos from the Beginning:
Eider wool (right) and wool on the spindle

I have both then twisted together. The result was then that wool:


There are only about 60g and I have to wash it more exciting, and then determine the run length. I think I'll be a little Amigurimi sheep, etc. to knit. Current

About a colorful tops: Will I have it in the RAK (random act of kindness) Europe group of nettischaf. It is hand colored.

twisting I'd like to have to be spun with the royal blue Wensleydale (below). And then I need a matching pattern for wool.


That must have been it is for now. Indeed sufficient for now: D

Birthday Cakes, Bicycle

I have ...

already terribly long ... nothing written here. The combination of notorious lack of time, and Twitter is fatal. Before the effort of a whole LJ / DW-entry makes is one then it simply satisfied with 140 characters. At least
The comment I will take for now and again:

Books in April


Changeless (The Parasol Protectorate, #2) Gail Carriger: Changeless (Parasol Protectorate 2)
Genre: humorous urban fantasy Steam-punk thriller .... or so

brings to marry a werewolf a lot of shocking problems, must find the freshly baked Maccon Lady when her husband disappears one day without comment and leave them with a boorish Regiment soldiers in the courtyard. But soon, Alex has other problems: A mysterious "disease" spreads over all supernatural beings of London, are suddenly human again, and she, as a soulless, exactly this temporary effect may be produced by touching device, of course first to be suspected to be the culprit. Alexia Maccon remains no other choice than to investigate the matter ...

Up to half I was completely in love with this book. Even better than the first volume, because more crime than romance. However, not a very well-made thriller, as it turns out in the second half, for there the thing loses momentum and the resolution hardly surprising. BUT: Gail Carriger books are just so outrageously funny, charming and unusual that they must simply love. In the elegant men's clothing bearing inventor who has a striking effect on the ladies in their environment, has captured my heart by storm. As well as in the band before, the dandy-like vampire lord Akeldama with his preference for young, handsome, male victims and all other characters of these books. I'm in love!

addictive: I just say this: Cliff Hanger! (As if I continue not already bought the series would ...)
Episode Purchase: In September! Yay!






Silver Borne (Mercedes Thompson, #5) Patricia Briggs: Silver Borne (Mercy Thompson 5)
Genre: Urban Fantasy
short comment: figure straddles Mercy fights with pride intrigue, the death wish of a friend and manages time Again, to bargain trouble with people who are bigger and stronger than them.
better than its predecessor. Good tension building, great emotional development and implications. I look forward to the next volume!
addictive : The series is one of my absolute favorites, and it will remain for now.
Episode Purchase: next year ... so long there ... * Sigh *





Perfect You Elizabeth Scott: Perfect You
Genre: Romance youth

Kate's father has decided that to quit his job and to advertise overpriced vitamin pills in the shopping center are life dream. The fact that he ruined his family financially so that he does not understand, he spreads even Kate permanently on the Help: She but her own problems. Her best friend is slim and beautiful came back from vacation and has sought cooler friends. And then there is Will, who had every girl in school has something that could never suffer the categories. Now he seems suddenly interested in her and Kate must find to be contrary to its charm and dimples but somehow is not immune. You may scold me

, but I love this youth romance with a serious undertone and some sugar, even if I go slow on the 30 (-_-). Perfect You surprised me positively. On the one hand, it was actually a fluffy romance with misunderstandings and break room kiss. On the other Page had the appearance of conflicts, especially within the family of Kate up a surprising depth. After I was Sarah Dessen lately too boring because they only copies itself, I have found with Elizabeth Scott my personal replacement drug.

addictive: It is a single novel, that is: No
Episode Purchase: Today I dragged two other Scott novels go home and look forward to welcoming Schmöker hours.
