We proudly present The Book Nook, in association with Amazon. com

When we're not actively designing and stitching, thinking about designing and stitching, or dreaming about designing and stitching, we're almost always reading. (We'll admit it...we're often reading about designing and stitching!)

We used to drive to the mega-bookstore and wrestle for a parking space, then hike a long way to the store. Once we got there, we'd discover they moved everything around -- again -- and we couldn't find a thing. Once we did get to the proper shelves, they'd be almost wiped clean of merchandise; ultimately we'd hike back to the car empty-handed. The bookstore sold their books, but hardly ever reordered anything. Instead, they brought in guests to stand on a small stage and talk about their political views, while part of the store was turned into a cappuccino bar. At that point, huge crowds came in but they weren't buying anything; they were sitting in front of the shelves, so we couldn't even get near the books.

We don't hassle with them anymore; we couldn't be happier for it. We discovered Amazon.com -- where we avoid the crowds, find everything efficiently, and have it (quickly!) delivered right to our door. Best of all, we can even shop in our jammies at three o'clock in the morning! Now that's service! It's a great way to buy the books (music & videos, too) you want...anytime. The world would be a better place if more people shopped while wearing jammies.

Crewel World is a wonderful mystery by Monica Ferris.

We greatly enjoyed this novel, especially because of its needlework-related setting.

Framed in Lace is the second mystery by Monica Ferris.

We're hoping she proves to be as prolific as Sue Grafton, because her novels are excellent!

These are a few of the other titles we've been browsing lately...
