To continue with my summer book reviews, here’s my next pick…
The Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs (click here for synopsis)
I’m not sure why I usually end up reading books that are part of a trilogy or series, but I seem to be drawn to them. This next book that I am recommending is by Kate Jacobs, the #1 New York Times-bestselling author of The Friday Night Knitting Club, and its sequels, Knit Two, and Knit the Season. I’ve had the pleasure of reading all three books, and I recommend you read them in order.
Here’s an excerpt from Google Books: It starts almost by accident: the women who buy their knitting needles and wool from Georgia’s store linger for advice, for a coffee, for a chat and before they know it, every Friday night is knitting night. As the needles clack, and the garments grow, the conversation moves on from patterns and yarn to life, love and everything. These women are of different ages and backgrounds, and face different problems, but they are drawn together by threads of affection that prove as durable as the sweaters they knit.
I guarantee you’ll really enjoy these books, so as usual, pickup a copy or download it to your e-reader, and enjoy a great summer read!
What have you been reading this summer?
I don’t read, but my husband is an avid reader. He reads on the train in and out of Boston to work every day.

I love trilogies too! These look really good. I pinned them so I wouldn’t forget to check them out. Thanks for the review I probably wouldn’t have given them a second look thinking they were all about knitting!
