I normally do goals for the coming year. I noticed last year I didn't but it was so busy at our home with the kids living here. I continued quilting, a little painting, a little wood working amidst it all. The kids moved into their own place in May but thankfully, we still got to spend quite a bit of time with the grandchildren -- our joy! Here's most of the quilts I made in 2021...
I continued listening to audible cooks via my Audible subscription and the app I use for our local library's audible collection. Those included:
- The Shifting Fog by Kate Morton. Good.
- The Distant Hours by Kate Morton. All of hers are good!
- The Living Room by Robert Whitlow. Like his too.
- The Autistic Brain by Temple Grandin. A great book to gain inside into those who are Autistic or on the Autism spectrum.
- Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. 1930's book about an utopian society. Weird.
- The Tatooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris. True WW2 story. Good.
- Dragonfly by Leila Meacham. WW2 story of young talented spies.
- The Clockmaker's Daughter by Kate Morton.
- The Alice Network by Kate Quinn. Based on true network of women spies in WW2.
- Grandma Gateway's Walk by Ben Montgomery. About the first women to walk the whole appalachian trail at 67 years old in 1957.
- Partners by John Grisham. Always like his books.
- Bleachers by John Grisham.
- Sooley by John Grisham.
- My Dear Hamilton but Stephanie Dray. Really good historical fiction.
- The Huntress by Kate Quinn.
- The Book of Lost Friends by Lisa Wingate.
- Where the Lost Dogs Go by Susannah Charleston. This was a re-read. Sometimes I like to re-read books I've enjoyed in the past.
- Agent 355 by Marie Benedict.
- The Manatee Did it by Kay Shostask. An author friend who grew up in the same neighborhood I did.
- The Last Christian by David Gregory. Weird.
- The Kings General by Daphne Du Maurier.
-The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave.
I enjoyed all of these books. I'm especially fond of historical fiction, but also love mysteries, true stories, and other kinds of stories. I absolutely love being able to listen to a book while I multi task. I am currently reading a good one I hope to finish in a day or two by Lisa Wingate, A Month of Summer.
I didn't do much wood working in 2021. I did the board and batting project in the back hallway which was fun, put up the faux shiplap in the grand kids room, and refinished a cabinet to store quilts.
