My Bookshelf

Current Sampling:
  1. "Walking in This World" by Julia Cameron
    • I've been reading and working on a chapter at a time.
    • Currently on Chapter 2.
    • Builds on the 3 ideas of "The Artists Way":
      • Morning Pages
      • Artist Date
      • Weekly Walk
    • I've always kept a journal, but find the morning pages a great way to clear the debris of the previous day.
  2. "Live What You Love: Notes from an Unusual Life" by Robert and Melinda Blanchard
    • Quick, easy read about a couple who decide to live a life they love.
    • Love the idea and was interested to read their story, but disappointed with the book.
    • Certainly agree with the big 4:
      • People
      • Passion
      • Environment
      • Money
  3. "Caramelo" by Sandra Cisneros
    • My current book club book.
    • Love the story and love the writing style.
    • Intimate, funny, delicious.
  4. "Evidence. The Art of Candy Jernigan". Edited by Laurie Dolphin.
    • Candy Jernigan collected "Evidence as Proof that she had been there".
    • A lovely book containing photos of pages from the artist's journals.
    • Loved how she made smears of food she ate.
    • Inspiring. I loved it.
  5. "Tales of A Female Nomad" by Rita Golden Gelman
    • Just started this book yesterday.
    • A 49 nine year old woman on the verge of divorce comes to the realization that she is living someone else's life and takes of for lands unknown.
    • Love how it is written.
    • Getting the travel bug as I read it.
