Book Review: Needles and Pearls

Gil McNeil's novel Needles and Pearls was EXACTLY the kind of book I needed last week!! It is the sequel to Divas Don't Knit and is equally entertaining. I found Divas Don't Knit a year or so ago at Chapters for a few dollars and bought it and loved it, and so I was thrilled when I found Needles and Pearls on their shelves for $5 last week!!

According to Goodreads: "A year after her husband's death, Jo Mackenzie is finally starting to get the hang of being a single parent. The boys are thriving in their new seaside home, the wool shop is starting to do well and despite two weddings, an in-school knitting project and Trevor the Wonder Dog coming to stay, she's just about keeping her head above water. But boys, babies and best friends certainly make life a lot more interesting. Can Jo cope when things get really complicated? Because if knitting truly does keep you sane when your life starts to unravel then it looks like Jo is going to need much bigger needles."

A bit of mindless chick lit, but oh how I loved it!! Jo ends up being pregnant and going through all kidns of crazy stuff in her life, which I can relate to,plus I am a bit in love with knitting right now, so this was a perfect read for me. I ended up looking at amazon to find other chick-lit knitting related books and there are tons-I will definitely be stocking up on these in the near future!!
