Reading: The Sea of Monsters, by Rick Riordan. It seems I just want to read memoirs lately...I have several of them that I'm very excited about, but I want to stretch them out a bit. So I decided to pick up the second book in the Percy Jackson series in between.
Knitting: A Germinate shawl. I saw this shawl in this color scheme (orange, gray, and dark purple) years ago and have wanted to knit it ever since. When I realized that I had the exact yarn I needed in my stash (all purchased at the same time, but intended for different projects), I had no excuse not to start it. These colors together are very different from what I'd normally knit, but I think I'm going to love it. I'm in the second lace section now.
