I love this North Pole fabric so much, it’s adorable. This is my fabric choice for the #oschristmasswap but I’m still deciding on a pattern. #swapaddict

Educated by Tara Westover. I feel like this book is going to take a while to process and will stick with me. It’s a personal memoir of growing up in a family of survivalists (that “homeschooled” but not really in any meaningful way) told by the daughter who left to go to college and earned a PhD from Cambridge. This is definitely a story about education and a world outside what we learn at home when we are young, but it’s basically turned up to 11 for her because her family was so closed off from the world. Her parents believed the government brainwashes people, modern medicine is designed to kill you, and frankly they had no regard for safety in any way. (How any of them survived at all is really something.) More than education, it’s a story of emotional control, abuse, and mental illness. It’s well-written and personal and the author explores her experiences and memories and perceptions openly. She was able to escape but it’s troubling to think of the siblings and their own children who are still in that situation. 5/5 stars ⭐️ #18readingchallenge #justjoshinreads #2018readingchallenge #goodreads #readersofinstagram #readersofig #booksofinstagram

Miles Morales Spider-Man by Jason Reynolds. I’ve never been big into comic books or graphic novels so most of my love of Marvel comes from the MCU movies and the tv shows. This book showed up in my recommendation list around the time my kids were playing the Spider-Man video game non-stop, so I figured I could learn more about Miles Morales. (Then my husband told me there are a bunch of different MM storylines and universes...) Anyway, I enjoyed this book, it’s a novelization, not a comic or even illustrated, which is more my thing. If you’re looking for graphic novels this isn’t it. Miles Morales was bitten by a spider, like the previous Spider-Man Peter Parker, but he doesn’t have the same catalyst to be the hero Peter did. He has two parents who are happily married and love him, he goes to a fancy private school (on a scholarship) and while he does use his Spider-Man powers, the book starts at a time when he’s been suspended from school for trying to follow his spider-sense so he’s hung up his mask and wants to quit. His roommate/best friend Ganke is a wonderful character who provides humor and support to Miles throughout the story. I found the book a bit slow in the middle, not unbearably so, but on the whole, a solid story. It does make me want to look into the authors other books and I’ll definitely join the kids at the Spiderverse movie coming out in December. 4/5 stars ⭐️ #18readingchallenge #justjoshinreads #2018readingchallenge #goodreads #readersofinstagram #readersofig #booksofinstagram

Stardust by Neil Gaiman. This is a lovely story with incredible details, daring adventures and heartwarming characters. I listened to the audiobook version read by @neilhimself and it was a wonderful way to spend 6 hours. Stardust is a fairytale about a man who sees a falling star and promises to bring it to the girl he loves. His search leads him through a wall to another world where he finds what he seeks and much more. 5/5 stars ⭐️ #18readingchallenge #justjoshinreads #2018readingchallenge #goodreads #readersofinstagram #readersofig #booksofinstagram

I’m doing another local craft fair next month so that’s an excellent reason to finish a bunch of things I started for the last one but never finished. First up is this small pile of Sunshine Wristlets. #craftfairprep #sunshinewristlet #bagstockdesigns #handmadegifts #handmadeholiday
