Happy Chinese New Year! It's book week four in our 52 books quest and this week is all about the Year of the Rabbit.
“Rabbits are known to be incredibly witty, outgoing, well-spoken, creative, empathetic, thoughtful and meditative; the water element of 2023 means this year will bring even more introspection, peace and hope… It’s a season to hone into your imagination, intuition and instincts. With artistic inspiration as a focal point, the rabbit encourages you to fill your heart and soul with hobbies and crafts. Poetry, painting, making music—any activity that instills inner harmony will reign supreme.” Stylecaster – Cam Zhang
Good thing I’m in a creative mood this year.
I love following rabbit trails and have been following a lot lately on Instagram with posts about books and bullet journaling and writing and books, books, and more books, and a little bit of self help thrown in, along with a smattering of celebrities. Which brings me to the point of this post – we’re going to dive down a rabbit hole this week and read something with or about or symbolizes rabbits this week. No, it doesn’t have to be an actual rabbit.
While reading Julia Cameron’s Write for Life this week, I was reminded of the story, The Tortoise and the Hare with Cameron reminder that writers should take it slow and easy and not race ahead. “Slow and steady wins the race.”
I’m still working my way through Haruki Murakami’s 1Q84 (80%) done. As well as The Blue by Nancy Bilyeau (45%). On my second reread of Julia Cameron’s Write for Life and writing down all the stuff I underlined.
More Kitty Norville with Kitty goes to Washington in which she goes to Washington to testify before a senate house hearing and gets herself into a mess with the nasty senator and more vampires. (book #7)
The suburban has been loaded with multiple bags of books: fiction, nonfiction, and a bunch of homeschool books to take the friends of the library. Have been going down memory lane culling through all the homeschool memorabilia – what to keep, what to get rid of. We may be able to fit the car in the garage by the end of the month. Woot Woot!
