"I'm having so much fun!!"
FOUR HOURS to get this assembled. I am not proud, but I AM victorious.

A Jet Wolf 2024 Book List
I keep meaning to do this, and as I'm clearly not in the mood to work my actual job today, why not now? WHY NOT INDEED.
For the first time in a long time, I'm making an active effort to read. It's something I enjoy but have let slip away from me over the years, and after finally admitting it wasn't going to just naturally return without putting in the work, here we are. I've also allowed myself to embrace audiobooks, which has been a sticking point I can't explain, but increases my book consumption about a thousand fold. I "read" as I get ready in the morning, while taking my steps, while knitting, before bed, whenever the fuck. It's not yet April and I just finished the twelfth book out of my 2024 goal of twenty, thus proving I was being weird about something for stupid reasons, as is really often the case so you'd think I'd learn sooner, but why make it easy for myself.
Anyway, I like lists, and also foisting my unsolicited opinion on the world. Here, then, is the former, with thoughts on each to eventually follow as I will inevitably continue to not want to do actual work.
Oh, and the first lines thing, too. Because I think it's neat.

"She was floating, arms outspread, water lapping her body, breathing in a summery fragrance of salt and coconut."

CURSE THE BOBBINSES
They hate me and I hate them, but we're slowly managing to accomplish our united task.
"Motherfucking bobbins!!"
Jetty is moving straight from doing standard-issue knitting to multi-color intarsia, because she is a very reasonable person who does not set herself up for frustration ever.
