We are onto another shade of brown. As I am going on I am thinking about having to shade the portion I’ve already done with black ink, just to make it easier to pick out the parts I still need to work on. I’m not planning to do it yet, but I might if I end up picking another shade of brown for my next color. As I am filling in more and more on the pattern it is getting harder to pick out the correct squares. The color coordination is helpful, but I only have, like, eight colored pencils. At a certain point I am going to run out of colors to use together. (To be fair I do have an artist set of colored pencils but I’m not using it on this pattern, I’d use up half the pencils before I was even close to done.)
I have re-started the audiobook “Murder at Melrose Court”, and while I backed up a little to remember where I left off, I have since gotten to the main murder of this murder mystery. Technically the book started off with a murder, and it is definitely tied in to the main murder that occurred at the titular Melrose Court, but the second murder is the main driving mystery of the book. I’m curious how this is going to be resolved, as there are other parts to the mystery other than the murder that need to be explained.
I will say that while the reader for the audiobook does a decent job there are a few characters that are read in a monotone and I’m not terribly fond of the choice. I think it was to show them as stoic, or controlled, but it just makes the characters sound flat. Maybe the choice will grow on me as the book goes on, but for now the jury is out.
