is a reading/writing/art project. One book a month followed by a review and an art illustration...this is my reading list for 2013 (to be read in no particular order).
I really enjoyed the Night Circus, especially as the cover doesn't give a lot away with regards to the story! My husband keeps bugging me to read the Walking Dead as I love the series but I've never been a big comic book person - I shall have to persist with it!
Oh I like the look of Framed Ink, must look that up. And Nausicca of the Valley of the Wind looks an intriguing title. Look forward to the reviews - a great list, all new to me.
I thought about putting some art books on my list, as I have some I haven't read yet... but the fiction won out after I saw how much I need to catch up on with my favorite authors, and I ended up with fifteen books instead of twelve!
You will love the figure drawing book, it's beautiful, one of my favourite books I own. I got that Imaginative Realism book for Christmas and I have the Night Circus on my list too! Can,t wait to read your reviews, we seem to have very similar tastes... not least ZOMBIES!!!!
you will love number 12, and I hope you get chance to so a real life drawing as your art inspired piece after reading that book and your review, figurative art is what floats my dreams...
"hope you get a chance to do a real life drawing?" Um...honestly, it would be a relief NOT to do a real life drawing..sort of bored with it (finishing a degree with AAU has almost exhausted the topic).
Maybe by the end of the year...I will have a new found passion...here is some I've done in one of my courses...http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-culwUTsYuHg/TdAkMOhJIPI/AAAAAAAAAyA/LtyW6N3xSww/s1600/figure_drawing_collage.jpg
Looks like a good list. I think the best thing about this challenge is seeing different books and hopefully finding some gems when people post their reviews!
Nice mix of fiction and knowledge....will be watching for your "walking dead" inspired piece lol :D XXX
