I'm just announcing what I'll be reading in memory of Dewey. I'll be reading one book from each year of Dewey's posts at 'The Hidden Side of The Leaf':

Nation - Terry Pratchett (2008) - yay a new non Discworld book
The Plot Against America - Philip Roth (2007)
Candide - Voltaire (2006) - this one is a bit of a cheat as Dewey never reviewed it but menioned she was re-reading it, sounds fantastic and I couldn't resist it
The Birth of Venus - Sarh Dunant (2005) - looking forward to this after reading The Company of the Courtesan last year
The Inner Circle - TC Boyle (2004)
The Virgin Blue - Tracey Chevalier (2003)

I won't be joining the Knit-a-long with the 'someday' scarf in sea themed multi-coloured wool. It measures about an inch now and although the tension is so, so wrong and it took forty stitches to make it a decent scarf size I am still determined to finish this first knitting project...someday. Good luck to all you committed knitters.

This weekend I'll be drinking with friends and probably waking up with a large hangover. Wuhoah in the moment, oh no the mornign after :)
