Welcome to another Booking Through Thursday, where we have a conversation about bookish things.
Today’s prompt:
One of those quick, easy questions that I ask periodically because the answer is always changing:
What are you reading right now? (And, is it good? Would you recommend it? How did you choose it?)
That’s pretty simple. I’ve been working my way through my stacks via some challenges, like my Mt. TBR Challenge and the Sequel Challenge.
My current read fits both. I bought Knit Two in 2010: wow, a long time ago; but I actually have some on my Old TBRs that I’ve had longer. I had purchased this book right after finishing and loving the first book in the series: The Friday Night Knitting Club.
I chose the first book, and subsequently this one, because I love books about the friendships between women, especially those when people gather together around common interests and then form a bond.
In this second book, we follow the characters from the first one, and add some new ones. I’m loving the bonds, the conflicts, the secrets…all the stuff of wonderful characterization (IMO).
I should finish this one this morning and post my review.
What are the rest of you reading?
Thanks for stoppiny by!
You’re welcome…glad you could visit here, too, Mer.
Ah, you can’t beat a good sequel.
I’m loving it, Anthony…it’s like revisiting old friends. Thanks for stopping by.
I’ve had The Friday Night Knitting Club on my TBR shelf for a while. I’m glad it’s a good one. I’ll move it up on the list.
Have a great Thursday. ☺
Hope you enjoy it, Dana…it’s a “feel good” story. Thanks for stopping by.
Glad you’re enjoying this one! I know some other knitters who are readers and would probably like these, as well. I wish I knew how to knit, but I don’t seem to have the aptitude for it! Sounds like an interesting idea for a book… Thanks for stopping by my BTT post, as well!
You’re welcome, Melissa….I don’t knit, although I did try to learn once. Not skilled in that area, either. But I love the friendship component of these books. Thanks for stopping by.
Thanks! for sharing.

You’re welcome, Tribute Books Mama…enjoy your week!
Thanks for the follow. Following back. ☺
Thanks, Dana!
I have some old TBRs that keep calling out to me. I’m glad you’re enjoying it.
2 Kids and Tired Books BTT
Yes, when I get around to the TBRs and enjoy them, I have to wonder why it took so long to get to them! Thanks for stopping by, Holly.
I really enjoyed these books. I listened to them on audio.
Someday I might actually try audio…so far, it’s not calling to me. Thanks for visiting, Yvonne.
“friendships between women, especially those when people gather together around common interests and then form a bond” – guess these are topics that I’m looking for nowadays.
I like these kinds of books, Hazel…they do draw the reader in. Thanks for stopping by.
I read The Friday Night Knitting Club a while ago. I have Knit Two and my tbr list but I think I might have to re-read the first book because it’s been so long.
Thanks for stopping by.
I thought I might, too, but I soon was caught up in the lives of the characters. Thanks for stopping by, Tasha.
