    Whatcha reading this week?

    in Good Reads

    Posted

    I usually read crime or adventure novels, or historical fiction, but...I've stumbled onto Ruthie Knox's books. Adventuresome, sexy hunky guys, stand-up-for-yourself girls and funny. I'm on my third one (novellas) and enjoying them. The one I'm reading now is "Ride With Me" about a cross country bike ride with hunky guy and stand up girl. Funny.

    I am reading the second book of the Hunger Games trilogy. I have read them before & seen the movies all bar the last one. They are quite 'dark' & a bit gruesome. Not everyone's cup of tea.

    I started one of them, but maybe just my mood, it was a little too dark for me. I may try again one of these days. My daughter in law loved them.

    For the last two or three weeks I've been reading (actually re-reading - third time, I think) Diana Galbadon's Oultlander series; books two & three are about 1000 pages each, and I have the rest of the series (except for the latest, which doesn't seem to be out yet) to go.  No boredom in sight! 

    For those who haven't read Gabaldon's books:  they're somewhere between science fiction, fantasy, and history - time travel in the 1700's.  I love her writing style, and her impressive inclusion of the history of Europe and "the Colonies", as well as the medical knowledge, or lack thereof, at the time.  Amazing research!

    I agree! I have those books and read them over and over at times.:D

    What kind of stuff does she write? I see her name all the time but know nothing about her.

    She usually has a decent crime or FBI investigation going on with a hunky guy involved (of course). It's light reading when you need a break from thinking too much. She is a out-there-kind-of girl, fixes cars, a little wacky at times; her father helps-he is ex mil and funny, but resourceful.

    It is not heavy thinking reading, but in between more thoughtful books, I like them.:)

    I'm also new to the challenges. The Tuesday newsletter challenge runs all week?Or...until the next Tues.? and the Saturday wildcard just runs the weekend? Are those the deadlines? I'm not trying to win anything, but would want to go by the guidelines. Sometimes I have time for a layout, sometimes not. :)

    Atc Instructions

    ATC's are traded all over the world, by all types of artists. They are only meant to be collected as tiny works of art, not used or sold. You can collect them in a book like baseball cards, or frame your favorites. They mostly are just fun to make and look at. I still swap postcards and ATC's with fine artists from all over the world. I often look and admire them on my pc, but seldom print them out.

    It looks like you all are having fun! I've been in postcard swaps before in artist/watercolor forums.

     

    I have a few dumb questions!!! In making the digital ATCs, do you print out on paper, then glue to card stock? Then do you cut out with scissors or knife (which is easier?) I haven't found thse type of details anywhere. I know you can buy ATC blanks, do you use them or regular card stock?

     

    Thanks for answering.
