On my Patreon today (this is a backers-only update):
Book pile sorting event, March!
In which I read a chapter or two of a lot of books while trying to figure out whether to keep and finish them.... or not.
#Intro #Introduction Well, here I am posting about #BookishThings. I joined a #Mastodon instance back in April of last year, when the threat of Muskification of Bird began looming on the horizon. By January of this year, I began thinking about the overabundance of material-topics I had for potential posting.
Three projects also came to mind. 1) A #TarotCard layout based on #Narrative #PlotLine. I've explored this idea using the #CelticCrossLayout, and will try to take it a bit further.
#KelticLayout #SelfExploration #Jungian #CreativeWriting

2) I've acquired too much material for my #ScannedCollages. I'm branching out with #AlteredBook #AsemblageArt. #Collage #CollageArt #Assemblage #Books #AlteredBookArt
3) "Try to motivate my reading by using the #PicturePromptBingo #2023 to give me as much flexibility in choices." My #BookPile needs to get a small dent (at least). Picture Prompt bingo card a loosey-goosey#ReadingChallenge in which you match books that you’ve read to one of the pictures on the bingo card. The key thing is that you be as #creative in your #interpretation of the picture as you like. #BookChoice #Book #Prompt

So here I am - even more #SocialMedia activity as I fill time and a small part of the #Fediverse with talk #OfBookishThings.

I would love to see your reading pile – however big, small, tidy or chaotic. Tell me about it; what should be added to my own mountain?
Here's mine. Lagging a bit with a few books because I have too many on the go at once, but I'll finish Melissa Febos's amazing essays on writing today. Christmas will see me through Jamie, James and Hughes. I really need to open Deakin again.
Ok, can't subscribe to #OriginStory podcast because I don't spotify. BUT I will #Bookmark that page and visit regularly. That is actually how I still manage my online stuff. Bookmarks until I am over it, then delete the bookmark.
Now that I think about it, and look at the #bookpile in every room,
#Bookmarks have been the *one* constant in my life.
I love you, Bookmarx
Received some #bookmail and British treats this weekend Can't wait to dive in!
