pickAh the first book in the series. It all makes sense now since I read it backwards and have no regrets. The girl finds the crayon, makes a door and winds up in a fantastical realm to find all her friends from the other books and the villains. Just a sweet story and stunning illustrations.
I blasted through another ten volumes this week, which means I‘m over halfway through revisiting my 130-volume journal! Now it‘s time for a break. I‘ve covered twenty-five volumes since November 23rd and I‘m burnt out on this project.
Tomorrow, THEY burn. I‘d do it tonight, but it‘s late enough I might alarm the neighbours.
(ETA NB: two of these notebooks were made from old book covers. I didn‘t burn novels.)
I finished reading through another ten volumes of my 25-year daily journal, so I got to have a little fire tonight. I‘ve reached 2004, in which I hit a LOT of weird little personal touchstones.
Gonna see if I can clear volumes 61-70 before I lose the privacy I need for this process. That‘ll take me past halfway through my 130-volume archive.
Probably manga some day. I haven‘t made any attempts to read it yet. It‘s a bit overwhelming not knowing where to start with this genre.

A few years ago, I started rereading the daily journal I kept for twenty-five years so I could make note of important stuff and then burn each volume. I had a longer-than-anticipated gap in the process, but the conditions are right this week so I‘m back at it. Ten more volumes met their end tonight.
If you‘re all 😱, be assured I don‘t do this lightly. This journal is my mandala: something I had to make but don‘t have to keep forever.
Nothing beats painting mirrors on a Friday night 😁.

The Cartoonists Club was a fun read, part story of the formation of a new school club, part instructional book on making comics and zines, part Ms Frizzle style encouragement to budding artists and writers to “take chances! make mistakes! get messy!“
I love the librarian who facilitates the group meetings, she's great.
