This will be an exciting month for me as I’ll be getting my new van and I’m sure that could distract me from my reading. However, the hope is that I’ll read inside the van.

50 Books to Read Before You Die – My progress on this challenge
I just love book lists – almost as much as I love books themselves. I got this book list from a Goodreads group with the same name as the list. So . . . thought I’d put the list on my blog here to keep track of which books I’ve actually read, and we’ll see how many I get to read before . . . . that morbid thing happens.

My 2019 Reading Plan and Tentative Schedule
My plan for reading this year is to stay close to the plan I already made for the 2019 PopSugar Reading Challenge. That will provide for a lot of diversity in my reading as I’ll be exposed to genres I wouldn’t otherwise pick up to read. I will also have other books to read, because not everything is covered in that challenge.

Zentangles, Folk Art, Rembrandt, and Me
My art is classified as folk art. One definition I found for folk art is – art done by people who are not trained as artists. I’m not sure all folk artists are untrained, but for me, that is, for the most part, true. I took a few art classes in high school and college, but since then, nothing. I spent most of my life taking care of my children and that precluded creating a lot of art.
