Wishing there was a way to knit and read a book at the same time...

Another passion of mine is reading. I love to read Manga and romance novels! I eat them up... num num num!

So when i can find a romance novel that involves knitting, i am super interested! (i've never found a Manga based on romance and knitting... unfortunately)

I have read "How to Knit a Love Song" and the recently released "How To Knit a Heart Back Home" by Rachael Herron. "How to Knit a Love Song" was a great read that i could revisit many times over. The sequel, "How to Knit a Heart Back Home" was a good read but was disappointingly not up to par to the first book.

There is also a very enjoyable book series from Heidi Betts about three girlfriends from a knitting group and each of their stories. "Tangled In Love", "Loves Me, Loves Me Knot", and "Knock Me For A Loop".

I purchased "The Friday Night Knitting Club" by Kate Jacobs but didn't finish it. i lost interest half way through the book and didn't bother with the sequels either, "Knit Two" and "Knit The Season". Amazon.com rated the first book 3 out of 5 stars and the customer reviews were divided. I was really hoping to enjoy this series, but alas, i did not. Which is surprising because there is a character named Lucie (yes, with an IE), but even my narcissistic nature couldn't hold my interest in the novel.

A quick search on Amazon.com has popped up a series of romance novels from Christie Ridgway centered around knitting. I can't distract myself with another book series or i won't get any knitting done, but I look forward to reading "How To Knit A Wild Bikini"!

Please comment if you know of any novels in this genre that i have not listed. Thanks!
