Reading Update
Swan: Poems and Prose Poems by Mary Oliver. This one had a couple of things I quite liked, but overall it didn’t resonate that much with me.
Journal Sparks: Fire Up Your Creativity with Spontaneous Art, Wild Writing, and Inventive Thinking by Emily K Neuburger. Very good collection of creative journaling ideas for those times when you need some inspiration. It also includes a section on making your own simple journals, plus has some stickers and artsy paper to use in your own creative journal.
Dare to Sketch: A Guide to Drawing on the Go by Felix Scheinberger. Ok overview of drawing basics with particular tips for urban sketchers. Definitely feels like a variation of other things I’ve read before.
Footnotes from the World’s Greatest Bookstores: True Tales and Lost Moments from Book Buyers, Booksellers, and Book Lovers by Bob Eckstein. A lovely little book highlighting 75 bookstores from around the world, with a watercolor painting and anecdote for each. This is one I’m perfectly fine with reading from the library and not owning.

Love Chaos! Feed your poor kittehs!
I hope Starman orbits the sun for a long time. I hope he doesn’t come back to Earth (or crash into Venus or Mars either).
We do need another Miracle. But from that article, this is the quote that hit me the hardest: “it’s not about what [Tonya Harding] did, it’s about the redemption arc she didn’t get because she isn’t a man.” And the saddest thing is that it took someone pointing it out to me for me to see that there was any injustice there in the first place.
Thanks for the link! 🙂
