Quiet summer evenings are a perfect time for reading. There is something special about curling up with a good book. Such a great way to relax after a busy day.
"The Guardian" by Nicholas Sparks has been on my shelf for several months. It has been waiting for the gardening chores to slow down. What a fine page turner.
Kaaren Poole's "How to Sketch Animals has practical illustrations on drawing sweet furry friends.
"Watercolor Simplified" shares Pat Weaver's fresh and vibrant style. She shows the importance of planning values and choosing a good composition. Her limited palette also keeps the painting process simple.
So glad you took a moment to see what I am reading. Hope you have something good on your bookshelf!
Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful evening!
Curling up with a good book...one of my very favorite things to do! Who is the darling black and white fur person? So cute!

I love curling up with a good book. I absolutely love the cat. :)
ReplyDeleteI have a backlog of books to read - they've taken a back seat to publishing my own!
ReplyDeleteNow that's done, today I fully intend to start again. My first is Vendetta by Marie Corelli. Having read her book The Sorrows of Satan - and loving it, I searched for others!
I've always been a rabid reader but with working and a love for art and creating, chores, and practicing it has, alas, taken a back seat. Admittedly once every couple of months all of that flies out the window and I give myself over to a book or two or three. If I ever had to give up everything that I love to do but got to keep one, it would be the books. I'd have to have those in my life always. Since I think in images, I have a very active imagination while reading and do so enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteGreat post
ReplyDeleteThank you for a reminder get the books out.
For me, reading has gone by the wayside lately.
It will feel like summer when I catch up on my summer reading list.
Reading is a wonderful way to relax after a busy day. I have been reading some old books on photography I picked up at a flea market. One is National Geographic Photography Field Guide (secrets to making great pictures), and The Amateur Photographer's Handbook which is all about old cameras. I will be putting up a blog post about them later today.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful day.
My next favourite hobby to painting. But real books, that you hold in your hand and turn the pages
