The first one, Ninja at first Sight, is part of the Knitting in the City series which I love. It was a quick fun read about how two of the characters in the series first met back in college and sets us up for their full story which comes out in 2016. I think I smiled throughout almost all of the story, except for when Fiona's mother was around, when I cringed instead. I would have liked the book to continue. It could have easily been a full length novel.
The second and last novella of the month was an old favorite that I first read years ago to my class when I taught 4th grade. Walter, The Story of a Rat, is a story about friendship plain and simple and beautiful. It is a book that gives you hope, and leaves you with a overwhelming feeling of contentment. I read it at least once a year and it never loses its appeal.
