What we have to do is read a book a month, when we've read it review it and create a piece of art inspired by the book.
I have to say I didn't pick my books with the last bit in mind! 1st book easy, got the art in my mind already... but some of them NO IDEA!!
My art idea (at the min) is an art journal.
So first things first is my list of 12 books, which most of which are on my Kindle...
Not sure on the order I'm going to read them yet, just that the 2 trillogys will be in order and three succesive months. So, in no particular order;
- The Red Queen
- The Lady of the Rivers
- Naked Heat
- Heat Rises
- Frozen Heat
- The Hunger Games
- Catching Fire
- Mocking Jay
- The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
- The Girl who Played with Fire
- The Girl who Kicked the Hornets Nest
- Stargate Atlantis - Legacy Series Book 1 - Homecoming
As my readers, I rely on you to remind me!!
That's all for now, back later with today's photo and maybe some crafty stuff!

Oh, I have the Stieg Larsson trilogy on my E-reader too... Totally forgot about them, for my list I went through my pile of books and forgot about my E-reader. Looking forward to your reviews!
ReplyDeleteGreat list, welcome aboard. I am sure the art will come to you as you read the book, remember it can be anything it just needs to be inspired by the book.
ReplyDeleteI see someone is a Castle fan! :) I read the 1st 2 in the Nikki Heat series, haven't gotten the latest ones. :)
ReplyDeleteI love Castle! Loved book one, have you seen they've done the Derek Storm book as well?
ReplyDeleteA couple on that list that I'd like to read sometime. I agree on the art part -- I picked my list based on what I had wanted to read!
ReplyDeleteMy Dad got the Hunger Games trilogy for Christmas so he may find that gone missing for a while after your reviews ;) I am in the same boat with my first book, not a clue at the most as to what arty thing I'm going to do...
ReplyDeleteGreat list! Philippa Gregory is one of my favourite authors. I loved 'The Red Queen' and the other one is on my shelf waiting to be read! I have read the 'Hunger Games' trilogy and whilst they made me feel sick to the stomach I loved them! Very thought provoking! ....same with Larsson's trilogy.
ReplyDeletesome good ones here.... I enjoyed the millenium triology so would be good to see what you come up woth and what u think of them. c xxx
ReplyDeleteGreat to see The Hunger Games on your list as I nearly bought it the other day, it is still on my wish list. Looking forward to reading your reviews and seeing your artwork.
ReplyDeleteI've read the White Queen, but not the Red. A period of history I love. A quite different selection of books here - look forward to seeing the artwork and reviews.
ReplyDeleteGreat list there! I loved the Hunger Games and Dragon Tattoo trilogies. Look forward to reading your reviews and seeing what you come up with art-wise.
ReplyDeleteGreat list :) I want to read the Stieg Larsson's and Philippa Gregory's so I'm particularly looking forward to your reviews of those. I loved The Hunger Games trilogy, it took over my life for a few weeks this time last year!
ReplyDeleteThese are really fantastic choices. I'm looking forward to stopping by at the end of the month. :)
ReplyDeletegreat choices looking forward to your reviews, i've got a few of those books on my too read at some point list x
ReplyDeleteI've seen the Lady of the Rivers on the shelves, it sounds really good. Looking forward to reading all your reviews and seeing your art. Happy reading.
ReplyDeleteI see you like to read a series at a time....I loved the Millenium trilogy (dragon tattoo etc), so well written and translated. Have fun!
