Wow, you read and listened to a lot of books in 2017, now I'm wondering what you goal is for 2018? Thanks for all the book recommendations and wishing you a great new week!

I am struggling with a Sharon Penman book - The Sunne in Splendour about the Wars of the Roses - I don't want to give up on it but I'm not concentrating well on it!

Especially any of the ones related to art (Van Gogh, Klimt); the Durrell because I adore the series and Julia because I adore her; "Ove" has been on my list for ages and Ann Patchett is -- well, Ann Patchett. "Bel Canto" was one of my all time favorites and so was last year's "The Magician's Assistant." I saw the film based on the Dickens book and loved it so reading the book would be a treat to see how it adapted.<br /><br />And this winter is SERIOUS reading time! At least, so far! Enjoy every page!Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1034532151955863306.post-12478977046882078312018-01-07T04:18:01.995-05:002018-01-07T04:18:01.995-05:00That is one lovely page Erika, very creative! And ...That is one lovely page Erika, very creative! And wow, you certainly managed to get through a lot of books, and thanks so much for the interesting digest of them! As the daughter and wife of publishers, my whole life has been surrounded by books.... I don't think I have every managed to read as many as that in one year though, - but since retiring at the end of the school year (I was a teacher too), - I am hoping to become a more avid reader again and shall add several of the ones you mention to my list.<br /><br />Finally, thanks so much for your visit to my blog, and as to your question about bullet journaling, - there is of course no finite time as to how long it takes to set up a page. The beauty about bullet journaling is, you can make it as complex or simple as you wish. I decided to use mine as a daily drawing practice journal as well, and some of the pages do take quite a while, but it does get a lot faster with practice and so far I absolutely love it.

She is really amazing. I enjoyed your reading list, and loved the Hidden Figures which you recommended. I didn't see the movie, but the book was fabulous. I remembered your review of the City of the Monkey God and want to read those two art books you bought. Wish we lived closer so I could borrow them for a weekend! <br /><br />Of course, I simply adore your latest Art Journal Journey entry and it seems to be true how you really LOVE to read! Thanks for sharing your books and your journal page with us at Art Journal Journey. I'm a slow reader and only read real books, not those on tape. Wish I had that capability, though.

It's so interesting to see how different they all are. After having read your post I got "Beneath a Scarlet Sky" for my Kindle and put the "Lab Girl" and "Talking to the Ground" on my wish list.

With the little lamp and the two owls!<br /> Oh gosh you are really an avid reader - <br />I nearly just hear audio books on youtube - whilst crafting or when I cook - <br />but in 2017 I purchased 15 real books also that I really all got read through this year( Tataaa)They are from our local charity shop for just 1 or 2 Euros.Some of them I can use as Altered Book Journals as they have great paper in. And the most of them were good - I read more nonfiction - and oh I have one of Sandra Duran Wilson and Olivia McElroys books here in German as well - the first one I guess about surface treatment ( but not from the charity -lol) and I just now read the lovely "Big Magic" book from Elizabeth Gilbert in German as well...that's just super for creative people, isn't it?<br />I found some great Art technique books for free at Issuu.com online - <br />My days are much too short for all I want to do..... and I am at home ... call me a retired girl ....but no time!!!<br />But I always think that what I want to do I find or steal time for---yes!<br />Thank you for so many inspirational pages for AJJ! You ROCK again! I have to get off to a flying start now - otherwise the month is over .... but so many things to do just now here... they still have no school and we had a lot of guests and invitations...boah!<br />Life - it's nice but sometimes too busy for an old girl!<br /><br />oxo<br />Susi<br />froebelsternchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06501600240752195171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1034532151955863306.post-56262542960986345092018-01-06T12:13:57.163-05:002018-01-06T12:13:57.163-05:00Love your reading journal page, great idea.

Founding Gardeners sounds like an interesting view of the founders. I'd think it might make them more approachable than some of the history books (and even biographies) I've read. It's been so long since I read anything by Gerald Durrell I had kind of forgotten about him. I remember him fondly, though... I should pick him back up. <br /><br />I'm not doing any formal challenges this year, but I will be reading :) I look forward to hearing about your year in books as time passes. I'm not in a book club, so I count on bloggers and Facebook to help me find books. I've tried Goodreads without much luck.<br /><br />It's warming up some here, but the water in the birdbaths is still frozen.
