Adult books...

Since we have been focusing on children's picture books and chapter books, I switched it up for a change and read a more young adult to older adult book.
It just looked interesting.  It's called The Friday Night Knitting Club and its about a group of women who get together on Friday nights and knit.


The women are the support system for each other.  It is an eclectic group of women, who just happened to come together.  The owner, Georgia, is a single mother of Dakota (a teenager), who runs the knitting shop Walker & Daughter.  She has raised her daughter by herself, and managed to start and run a business.  I won't give everything else away because it is a good read to remind us how important our friendships are.  The book goes through every characters life and the ups and downs.  Old loves return, new ones enter, old friends resurface, and relationships change.  Through all this, the Friday night knitting group does knitting projects together, listens to one another, and supports each other through life.

It is a great book about love, friendship, and loyalty. I highly recommend it to any readers!
