This book was a really quick read. As a lifelong hockey fan I was fascinated by the story. As a New York Ranger's fan I was appalled I hadn't heard of this before.

[King Kwong: Larry Kwong, the China Clipper Who Broke the NHL Colour Barrier] by [Paula Johanson] is a short well written account of the struggle to make it into the NHL if you weren't of European decent. Larry Kwong was a very skilled player but only got to play one shift in the NHL. This did not dampen his love for hockey as he traveled the world spreading this awesome sport wherever he went. I wish I had this in a paper copy so I could give it to my students to read.

Baba Yaga
The baba yaga returns in the stylish ultra violent John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum. The time span of the three movies is around 2 weeks, and opens within minutes of the events of Chapter 2.

While the two previous chapters have solely been in New York, Chapter 3 adds Casablanca, and introduces more back story to John Wick.

If you are going for John Wick, it;s not about the depth of the story, one of franchises biggest positives is the stylish and skillful action sequences, John Wick 3 delivers in droves.

The film sets up for a Chapter 4, leaving us wondering what the baba yaga is bringing to us next.

I LOVED this book! My favorite aspects of women's fiction are all here: NYC, fashion, friendship, art, glitz and glamour, food, humor...all combined with a bit of a mystery and a writing style that brings you right in and doesn't let you go. I didn't want this book to end. I was honestly quite surprised at how well written it was, I was expecting fluff considering the author is a former Real Housewife of New York but there were several times this book forced some deep thinking and had me pondering on love vs desire and choices we make. I'm looking forward to reading more from this author. Highly recommended! Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC
  
"kooky" is the perfect word

humorous designs with a London theme ... and yes I have made a few of them.

The Pigeon Knitting Kit is perfect. Short needles and all you need to make your 1st London companion ... patterns written with fun, and suggestions to adapt them.

Before this I admit that even tho I have been knitting for over 30 years I had never really caught the in-the-round bug, but this book changed that, and I also got the authors followup book Stitch New York

For a learner this book would be a great addition after learning the basic skills. As with most knitting books there are instructions on how to knit. A fun addition to any crafters bookshelves.

That flow! What an emcee (0 more)

Whered he come from?
Where did A-F-R-O come from? He did a couple of guest spots with the likes of RA the Rugged Man and really impressed but did we expect this??

Marco Polo brings that traditional boom bap New York sound, you know what you getting, business as usual and all good here. There is a song featuring Gift of Gab and RA the Rugged Man and that's a perfect reference point for A-F-R-O's flow, it's that scattered pin point accurate raps and if he keeps up this consistency on a few more releases he could be widely recognised in grandeur.
