Previous Post Instagram: Ok, here’s the whole thing. It was so hard not to shout from the rooftops when I finished this. I am super proud of this quilt. Sometimes my hare-brained ideas become reality. I posted a bunch of pictures on my blog and also a little about how I made this. It’s a lap-sized quilt from 700 two-inch squares, and it turned out exactly like I’d hoped and imagined. I’m just so glad the recipient loves it as much as I do. #8bitquilt #8bit #pixelquilt #princesspeachquilt #vgsteamrocket #videogamecraftswap #52quilts2016 #justjoshinquilts #quiltsofinstagram

I started a bunch of tote bags months ago and just now got to interfacing all the linings. I always underestimate how long things will take and then I spend 4 hours ironing interfacing. I did make a list of everything I have in progress and a goal to get it into my Etsy shop this summer. Or fall. Or sometime in 2018. #workinprogress #etsyseller #bagmaking #assemblylinesewing

Finished this one up last night. Why I’m No Longer Talking to White People About Race by Reni Eddo-Lodge. Not a light read by any stretch. I’m making an effort to read more books by and about people of color and this is a good one. Unlike the title suggests, the author isn’t actually refusing to discuss race, she goes into great depth the history of racism in society as well as the misguided feelings that white people tend to have about race. She addresses feminism and intersectionality, how engrained racism is in everything from language, culture, education, and class. This book mainly focuses on Britain which, like the US, has a deep, historical, far-reaching social power structure which serves to keep people of color out of power. I’ll be thinking about this one for a while, it will be a long digestion. Little things I’ve never thought about before I will notice now. For instance, she refers to a white American who moved to Britain as “expat” but a person of color who did the same would be considered and “immigrant” which has a distinct negative implication. There were parts of the book that were slow and crammed a lot of historical details into a short, convoluted section, but I’m glad I stuck it out and read through. Hopefully I can bear some of this info in mind and be a better human. 4/5 stars ⭐️ #18readingchallenge #justjoshinreads #2018readingchallenge #goodreads #readersofinstagram #readersofig #booksofinstagram

I Felt a Funeral in my Brain by Wil Walton. I received an advanced reader copy from Goodreads giveaways. I was intrigued by the blurb and it sounded interesting and not my usual thing. It did not disappoint in that regard. This book is definitely interesting and unusual. The timeline skips around in a frenetic stream-of-consciousness style, often in the same paragraph, but it’s written in a way that wasn’t confusing or difficult to follow. It also flips between poetry and prose intermittently but It was interesting and emotional and the characters were flawed and believable. The main character is a high school student with an alcoholic mom, no dad, a bourgeoning love with his long-time best friend and the loss of his grandfather, with whom he was very close. It’s a busy summer. I’ve never been a big fan of poetry in general so those parts were harder for me to follow, but in all it was a good, quick read that I enjoyed. 4/5 stars ⭐️ #18readingchallenge #justjoshinreads #2018readingchallenge #goodreads #readersofinstagram #readersofig #booksofinstagram

My Summer Reading game is strong! Another one down. I’ll Be Gone in the Dark by Michelle McNamara. I probably wouldn’t have considered reading this before I heard they’d captured the suspect after a 40 year search, and he lived just about ONE MILE from my Grandma’s house. I was intrigued by what I’d read about how they found him after all this time. Let me just say I am no longer young and invincible like I felt when I used to read true serial crime books, because this book FREAKED me out. This guy was beyond creepy and sadistic and horrible. I had to read only during daylight because after dark every little noise sent my heart racing. McNamara’s obsessive research and attention to detail made for a fascinating book. It’s heartbreaking to know she didn’t live to see it published and the creep behind bars. I couldn’t put it down, during the daytime that is, and it’ll be interesting to learn more once the suspect goes to trial. 5/5 Stars ⭐️ #18readingchallenge #justjoshinreads #2018readingchallenge #goodreads #readersofinstagram #readersofig #booksofinstagram
