The sentences are all the same length and the characters are one-dimensional and juvenile, especially when their supposed station is considered.
Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare
4.75
A surprisingly and genuinely good adaptation! Something about the graphical novel format really helped me understand the language in a way that reading or watching the play has not. I didn't love the art style, but it did not detract much from the overall adaptation and honestly even worked well at times to emphasize some of the hokeyness of the play.
Swordcrossed by Freya Marske
5.0
Could see the marriage resolution coming from a mile away (thanks in part to deliberate setup via foreshadowing), which - in conjunction with Marske's excellent exposition and character work and Luca's flair for the dramatic - honestly made the ending all the more satisfying. I despise the cover (it makes the book look like a YA) and I skipped the part where Matti felt betrayed by Luca , but I'll catch that on the inevitable re-read. Another easy five-star read from Marske.
KnitLit (too): Stories from Sheep to Shawl . . . and More Writing About Knitting by Molly Wolf, Linda Roghaar
3.5
Became oddly religious midway through but evened back out (mostly) by the end. There were some gems among the more run-of-the-mill but still sweet recountings.
Finishing Techniques for Hand Knitters: Give Your Knitting That Professional Look by Sharon Brant

Should have been better edited for spelling (found several incorrect cognates) and clarity (many explanations were neither clear nor precise, a major flaw in a technique book).
