The Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs

So I've finished Innocent in Death by J.D. Robb. She never disappoints. I like being able to pick up a book knowing that I'm not going to get bored with it nor will I hope to finish it quickly so I can move on to the next. This series is perfect because the characters stay the same, their likable and after reading something really heavy it's nice to relax with "old faithful".

I'm now onto my next read: The Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs. It's about a single mother (Georgia) who owns a knitting store in Manhattan. She is raising her pre-teen daughter (Dakota) by herself while trying to maintain some semblance of life. She's sort of been forced -by her customers - into little relationships through of her store. Georgia is somewhat of a reluctant friend to others because of her mistrust of people and so when the "unthinkable" happens, she comes to see that these little relationships that she's built are actually friendships.

I'm about 100 pages in and it's really good. The book reminds me of Maeve Binchy in the way she moves from character to character, weaving lives together. I'll let you know how it turns out.
