Pick Me Up: A Pep Talk for Now and Later
Pick Me Up: A Pep Talk for Now and Later | Adam J Kurtz
11 posts | 2 read | 15 to read
A quirky, creative companion that offers a pick-me-up on every page On the heels of his internationally successful first book, "1 Page at a Time," graphic designer and illustrator Adam J. Kurtz delivers another intimate and engaging journal for anyone who loves to explore ideas, record thoughts and feelings, and capture those fleeting but amazing moments of everyday life. Unlike a linear journal, this book can be opened up to any page, encouraging and engaging readers time and time again through continued use. Rather than simply complete tasks and turn pages, users are encouraged to leave their mark, and if they land on the same page days or weeks later, they can review, reflect, and revise their previous response. Feeling lonely? Pensive? Peeved? Questioning? This deceptively simple book offers perspective, hope, and a twist of existential metaphor and is perfect to pick up again and again."

I think my favorite part about all this is the Urban Dictionary definition of "literally dying" - when you just "can't even" ??

But artist and author Adam J. Kurtz gets it - #thestruggleisreal

I personally DON'T hate carrying books around with me at all. Period! I prefer to, actually. I presume that's the case with most of us, no?

Maybe he just needs a #bookbeau? ?

Hooked_on_books I feel weird when I don‘t have a book with me. What if I have some time and nothing to do? 7y
catiewithac I always take a book! 7y
jwashreads I got a new purse for Christmas that I absolutely love, BUT I can't fit a book into it 😢 7y

Librariana @Hooked_on_books - Holly... so what you're telling me is that we're both Rory Gilmore? 😁 You three, @catiewithac? 😄💜 7y
Librariana @jwashreads - As much as I loooove a pretty new purse, and as happy as I am that Santa got you a fabulous one for Christmas, I *FEEL* your pain! It is blasphemous and sacrilegious and other SERIOUS words like that that you cannot fit a book in your bag. Not even a paperback? 😢😭😭😭 7y
jwashreads @Librariana *maybe* but it's a tight fit and then I can't get to anything else, like my wallet so I can buy more books! 7y
Librariana @jwashreads - priorities, girl. I feel ya! It is important to have access to cash... for more books 😁 7y

So this is a bit of an editor brag, but I just love this new journal. It comes out on Tuesday, and everything about it makes me happy. The content is friendly and insightful and hilarious and dark, and the author, Adam J. Kurtz, is the greatest. So happy that this will be out in the world soon!

LeahBergen Nice! 👍🏼👍🏼 8y
