Anansi Boys Review


I had been looking forward to reading this since I finished American Gods but I try to limit the amount of new books I bring into my house in any one period.  (not like it works)  I did pick it up on a before the movies book shopping trip with the rug rats and I am ever so glad I did.

Mr. Nancy was my favourite of the peripheral characters in American Gods, there's something about the way he is portrayed that just draws you in.  I was more than enthusiastic about getting to hear his story in a more in depth manner.

I didn't connect with Fat Charlie right at the beginning of the book, he was more of a slow hook character for me, it was as gradual as his development in the story.  Once I did fall for him though, it was completely and I was sad for the book to end, it was like losing a friend.

Podcast of The Week: The Very Serious Crafts Podcast

Image
I just recently got into listening to podcasts and like anything that I get into I am obsessed.  It has only been a couple of days but I have hankered down and listened to so much.  The first on what is becoming a long list of favourites is  The Very Serious Crafts Podcast   I heard about this podcast ages ago because I have been a follower of  Red Handled Scissors  for quite awhile and Haley of course has mentioned it.  So as soon as I finally downloaded a podcast app it was one of the first ones that I looked for and it has been my first podcast binge. While I had not been exposed to the other two contributors in this podcast prior to listening, Mollie of  Wild Olive  and Heidi of  Hands Occupied  I am quickly becoming a huge fan of both.  While I myself am not a very serious crafter reading about other peoples crafting has always been helpful for getting my own creative ideas flowing.   Turns out that listening to other people discuss crafts, their processes, new gadgets etc is a hu
