Things I wrote

  • Confabulations

    18 February 2019

    Although I rarely reread books, I'll most likely be reading this one again in the near future.

  • A Death of No Importance

    10 February 2019

    This was a great "TV book", a light read, a break from the world, and completely entertaining.

  • Bloodchild and other stories

    10 February 2019

    These stories were quick reads and got me thinking, which is what her work always does; I'm grateful for it.

  • The Good Neighbor: The Life and Work of Fred Rogers

    02 February 2019

    His legacy is a long one and I only hope that in some way kids today get to experience the magic of spending a half hour with him.

  • The Hat Trilogy

    27 January 2019

    This series does what so many great picture books do, Klassen uses the illustrations to great effect for the story.

  • Digital minimalism

    27 January 2019

    I'm still figuring out what works for me, but what I do know is the last few weeks I'm reading more, feeling more relaxed, and finding the things I want to do.

  • The Friend

    21 January 2019

    This book ended up being different than I expected in all the best ways and if you like reading, writing, and dogs, I highly recommend it.

  • Blue Mars

    20 January 2019

    I really enjoyed the entire series, but I especially enjoyed the way in which KSR wrapped it up. The focus on characters I'd come to know well and who were changing as they were living these amazing long lives was fascinating.

  • A new adventure

    07 January 2019

    New year, new adventure for me.

  • Our Souls at Night

    26 December 2018
  • Green Mars

    26 December 2018

    I'll also say this: these books are hard in many ways, Mars isn't easy, Earth is falling apart, but as is normal for KSR, I always end feeling hope.

  • The Creative Habit

    17 December 2018

    But Tharp does something more in this book, she showed me a whole world of other artists who've written about creativity in their journals and other writings.

  • Red Mars

    04 December 2018

    The amazing thing about KSR's writing is how he always leaves me feeling hopeful, even when things aren't going well.

  • Drawing my day

    29 November 2018

    Because it's my journal, I'm writing about my day, all of my day, which I don't feel as comfortable sharing most days.

  • Autumn
