This Is Not A Book #3

My adventures in Keri Smith's This Is Not A Book continue...

This time, I was supposed to "create a map based on some aspect of your everyday life. Some examples might be your desk, your walk to school or work, your dinner table, your hand."

I chose to make a map of my brain, and included in it the things that go through my head on a daily basis:

This Is Not A Book #2

My adventures with Kerri Smith's This Is Not A Book continue. Thankfully, there's no time or order limit in the book or I'd probably have given up by now...

This time, I had to hold the book on my head for as long as I could. Normally, for these kinds of things, they say, "don't try this at home," but I thought this assignment would best be done at home. And I was right (I think).

I put the book on my head while I was sitting at my desk. I was able to keep it there for a little longer than a How I Met Yout Mother episode. Thankfully, it's not a heavy book; you forget that it's even there on your head. I'm pretty sure I could've held it there longer, but it was over when I jumped up to answer my phone. I'm also thinking it would've been over when Harry the Cat decided to come down from the top of the bookshelf.

So here's me with This Is Not A book on my head.

This is Harry the Cat on top of the bookshelf. He likes to sleep there. And when he decides to come down, he jumps on the back of my chair first.

And here's my result: 23 minutes. Not too bad, eh?

This Is Not A Book


A friend got this for me for my birthday this year. It's by the creator of Wreck This Journal, Kerri Smith. I found it as I was going through my books the other day, and I thought, "what better time to start this now that it's summer!" This kind of thinking doesn't make any sense, I know, but the heat being what it is one need something to hold onto.

There are different, creative assignments in the book. There's no time limit or order. So, I'm going to try and document what I'm doing as I move along, hoping I'll be done with it before the year is over.

The first assignment is titled, "this is an inconvenience." You have to carry the book with you at all times for one week and make sure to place it where everyone can see it. I started this on a Monday, so it spent most of the day sitting on my desk at work. I held it in my hand while I was walking. Not that anyone came up to me and asked what it was; I'm so wishing they did. Oh, then, today I realized when I got on the bus that I forgot it at home. So, today it couldn't make it outside.

I also did this assignment. Can you crack my code? If you can, you'll notice it looks like I slept in the kitchen. Which I didn't. But I forgot to take the book with me to the bedroom. Eh.

More to come as I complete more assignments!

Description:

Tess Johnson has it all: her handsome photographer husband Beau, a thriving business, and a newly discovered pregnancy. When Beau accepts an overseas photography assignment, Tess decides to wait to reveal her secret—only she’s never given the chance. Beau’s helicopter crashes in the desert.

Tess struggles with the news of Beau’s death and tries to put her life back together. Alone and dealing with a pregnancy that only reminds her of what she has lost, Tess is adrift in a world of failed plans and fallen expectations. When a new client appears offering more than just a new project, Tess must confront the circumstances of her life head on.

Meanwhile, two Iraqi women who are fleeing honor killings find Beau barely alive in the middle of the desert, his body ravaged by the crash. Suha, a doctor, and Samira, a widow and mother of three young children, nurse him back to health in a makeshift tent. Beau bonds with the women and children, and together, with the help of an underground organization, they continue their dangerous escape.

What happens next is a test of loyalties, strength, and love.




Description:

The Samaritan Files Trilogy Book One The Devil's Dime Investigative reporter Jess Pepper made it his life's mission to use his column to expose those who lived on the devil's dime. With his words he could defend the innocent and bring down corruption, one evildoer at a time. But when his column forces an innocent Samaritan into the public eye, and puts a target on his back, Jess must discover not only who wants this good man dead, but how to save the man's daughter, who has captured his heart. Violinist Adelaide Magee came to New York City with little more than a violin tucked beneath her chin and enough determination to launch her dream. Her women's orchestra, the Avalon Strings, was fast becoming the city's hot new item, until reporter Jess Pepper put the one man she loved in deadly peril. Can Addie trust Jess to save this good man? Or will she have to do it herself? Corruption and greed set the scene for this vividly drawn tale of danger, heartbreak, unexpected love and family found in 1890's New York.

When "Eppie" gets his own fatal review, the list of suspects is longer than the list of specials at the best BBQ place in Memphis.



Description:

The 58th Keeper is the story of a boy called Archy Bass, who stumbles upon a mysterious and powerful relic. The moment he touches it, two warring forces race to find his whereabouts. One side thinks he’s simply too young and too inexperienced to keep it, and the other just want him dead. Hold on to your seats! The 58th Keeper is a roaring trip that takes the reader on the most wonderful and hair-raising scenes imaginable. R. G. Bullet pulls out all stops in his debut novel to deliver an incredible journey with unforgettable characters. This book will resonate with you for ages past the last line.

BBQ-joint owner Lulu Taylor knows pretty much everyone in Memphis who lives ribs. But one person she'd rather not know is Tristan Pembroke, a snooty pageant couch with a mean streak. When she finds Tristan's dead body stuffed in a closet at a party, the police are suspicious- especially since Lulu's developed a taste for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Caught in a situation stickier than molasses, Lulu must clear her name, or risk getting fried...

A Mermaid Dystopian 
What lies beneath the surface? One hundred years from now, the world has changed and brought with it, new forms of life. Who are the Mers? Who is Mira? Mira always knew she was different. Growing up with Mers, she never quite fit in. When Mira breaks the rules and takes Niren across the border that divides Ellis Island and New Jersey, a border that divides two vastly different worlds, she thought the journey to find out who she really is would be an easy one. But as the world in Jersey proves to be a convoluted mix of Aristocrats who hate the Mers, Pirates who want to sell them, and Magi who want to use them...finding her true identity will be a challenge, especially when her best friend Niren is a Mer willing to fight to the death.



Description:

Angel Evolution- the first book in the young adult fantasy trilogy: The Evolution Trilogy... When Taylor meets Gabriel at college, she is in awe of the subtle glow that surrounds him. No one else, not even her best friend, seems to notice. Something about him scares her. Is all as it appears? While Taylor struggles for answers, she finds herself in the middle of a century old war centered on one miraculous revelation: evolution.
