Wishing Thread

For the life of me, I can not get into the genre of vampires and magic.  I think maybe it just isn't real enough for me...I'm not sure.  I want to understand the draw but as I read I start to roll my eyes and fall asleep.  I hate it because the newest trilogy by Nora Roberts is about magic and I LOVE her but can not even get through the first chapter of the first book.  Someday, maybe.  I picked up the MP3CD of The Wishing Thread by Lisa Van Allen for two reasons, I am a cover shopper (not a quality trait, I know) and it was brand new, just put out on the shelf right when I needed something to listen to.  I grabbed it and ran.  As I listened to it, I was fascinated by the family history and the storytelling weaved into the knitting throughout generations.  The magic part did turn me off a little but as the story went on, I realized the magic could be understood or believed in several ways.  The way I choose to look at it was as a means to help something/someone along.  I am not entirely sure it was magic but the thought of it or the coming together of people for a cause, that bonding was the real magic.  It was an interesting story of love, betrayal, family, traditions and the magic that ties it all together.

We carry this book in print format and MP3CD.
