I have been home with a cold for a couple of days and I am now starting to get back some energy. Yesterday was mostly spent in the sofa but I did manage to fasten some threads on the squares for my book blanket.

Today, I have been listening to Emperor Mage by Tamora Pierce (book three in The Immortals Quartet). This series is a comfort read and it has been relaxing to listen to while being ill. I carefully laid out the squares on the floor (moving gives me a headache) to see where we are in the square status.

I think I have finished three yellow squares today with one more in progress. You might notice that this layout might not correspond to the latest update I gave you. After I did lay out them last time I thought that the blanked would benefit from being a bit wider so I adjusted it a little.

There are a few squares to go to being up to date with what I have read. If I were up to date, the blanked would look like this:

I am hoping to get a dark blue Tetris block (shape mirrored to the orange) in soon, fitting nicely in above the yellow 10. I am currently reading Let Sleeping Vets Lie by James Herriot, the third book in the series about James, that will give me that block.

I think that will do for today, I hope you are at least half as excited as me about my book blanket. It does encourage me to pick up books from a bigger release year span. Let Sleeping Vets Lie was published sometimes in the 70s, a decade that is not a common one in my bookshelves.
