25 books in 2015

January 12, 2015
books

I have seriously fallen off the reading bandwagon. In 2014 I read a total of 15 books…which isn’t that bad (I actually had to check my reading log for that number and I swear I thought I did much worse). But it could be better. I remember the days when I would read over 100 books a year! What happened to that girl?

One of my intentions for this new year is to read read read. So I’m setting a challenge for myself to read at least 25 books this year. I’ve already hand picked the books I’m going to read too. All of them are from my bookshelf and most of them are past BookExpo books that I got but never read (and I got A LOT of books from both years I volunteered at BookExpo that I have yet to read). I figure I should make a dent in my book collection before I begin to add even more books to it come May. I think 25 is a good number. That’s about two books a month, with one month adding a third. I haven’t started a book yet for January so I’m already behind.

So without further ado, here’s my reading list for 2015: * designates a BookExpo book

  1. The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson
  2. *Angel Killer by Andrew Mayne

  5. *Burn for Burn by Jenny Han & Siobhan Vivian
  6. *The Collector of Dying Breaths by M.J. Rose
  1. *The Diviners by Libba Bray
  2. *Drawing Amanda by Stephanie Feuer
  3. Dreamland by Sarah Dessen
  4. Eldest by Christopher Paolini
  5. *Falling into Place by Amy Zhang
  6. *How to Love by Katie Cotugno
  1. *Life by Committee by Corey Ann Haydu
  2. Love & Misadventures by Lang Leav
  3. *Love Is The Drug by Alaya Dawn Johnson
  4. *The Moon and More by Sarah Dessen
  5. Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit by Jeanette Winterson
  6. Outlander by Diana Gabaldon

    I’ve just discovered your blog Tiffany and it’s beautiful! I’m hoping to read a lot more this year too. I’m reading Mrs Hemingway at the moment, but Some Quiet Place is next on my list :-)

      Thank you! And Some Quiet Place was one of those books I picked up last year and started to read but for some reason stopped. I think it was because it took a bit to get into for me and I lost interest. I have it marked where I left off and everything. I was terrible at reading in 2014. I just wanted to watch television. Instant gratification, you know? I’m hoping to pick it right back up right after I finish the current book I’m reading though. Here’s to reading more in 2015! :)

Still working in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Still working in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. I had so much fun with this color scheme and style that I went ahead and made two matching #littleartnotes! This color combo is super rare for me (Titan Buff and Titan Mars Pale with Payne's Gray marks), but I'm really digging it! 

Happy Friday Loves! xx
When I originally set up these pages in my @getmes When I originally set up these pages in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal, I left a lot of space to write about what blooming means to me. It means growth, blossoming, and becoming. It means to flourish. It also represents nature and the restorative power of being in the wild. 

Bloom means a lot to me and yet while finishing up some of these half-finished pages, I was at a loss for words. This is when I found that word phrase stickers really help get the message across. xx
Just another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Seas Just another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. A lot of these pages were already in progress, so it's interesting to see them finished. I'm sure I had other intentions for what they were going to look like a couple of years ago when I first created this journal. Now, I'm content with matching colors, adding paint, and a few scribbles. This journal is all about the process of creating for me now, which I think is still a source of growth. xx
Another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. I rather like how this one turned out! I'm quite obsessed with using this Payne's Gray NeoColor crayon to make some scattered marks on my page. You might see a lot more of this in future spreads from this book. xx
I've been enjoying following along with the @getme I've been enjoying following along with the @getmessyartjournal #getmessymay prompts. I've basically been just watching them as they are posted. But the other night, I attempted the Happy prompt and it literally has gotten back into simply playing around with my supplies. I pulled out this very old Seasons of Bloom journal that is SO CLOSE to being finished. I figure I'd channel all of this creative energy I have right now to finishing it up!

I'm not responding to any particular prompt, just using the processes and techniques shared to finally complete this journal. xx
