#WhereAreYouMonday - I cannot read just one book.
I started my day with the ARC of "Love at a Funeral and Other Awkward Conversations" - New Jersey, in spitting distance to NYC.
Moved on to "Earls' Trip", takes place in Cumbria mostly.
Fugitive Telemetry ('Murderbot 6') in the car - space station (not pictured).
Now "The Ghost Cat" , set in Edinburgh.
Later "Lover Revealed" is set in Caldwell, fictional city in NY State, north of NYC.
Translucent sticky notes are my latest obsession: highlighting and annotating without actually marking up the book, while still being able to see the words underneath.
“As an institutionalized metaphor for all that is right in the world—the intersection of heaven and earth made manifest in every object it governs—the grid has also been imbued with an explicitly spiritual quality.”
Kind of intense lol
Focusing on design now with my nonfiction read. I‘m excited to go through this workshop and hopefully get some practice in.
I finally finished this one but I‘ll definitely be coming back to it again and again. It‘s probably my favorite design book so far as it connects two of my passions: (obviously) design and stories. There were so many books and articles referenced that my TBR list just got bigger, and there were countless practice exercises and prompts to get the creative juices flowing. I‘m excited to give them a try! Continued in comments ⬇️
“…our gaze is drawn to points of intrigue, from a dark hole in the middle of the road to a black cat lurking in the shadows. Humans instinctively look for novelty and surprise, because any shift in what we see could be a source of danger or delight.”
“Narrative helps us shuttle between representation and experience, between cultural convention and embodied, felt response.”

I made a #BookTree once & decided I am way too lazy for it. It‘s putting the books away that sucks! Anyway, last year my holiday cards & postcards from Zazzle featured book stacks & book trees. 🤷🏻♀️📚🎄
I picked the tagged book for its title but it looks so interesting I may need to add it to my TBR! 🌳
