During my foggy times, whenever the thought of sobriety crossed my mind, I thought of the things I'd lose when I gave up pot and alcohol.
Albert Einstein once said: “Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.” I live in a small town in Ontario surrounded by miles of nature, so there's no shortage of beauty and wildlife. About three years ago, I picked up my dad's old Canon and fell in love with how to world looked through his 55mm lens.
My favorite books I read this year Happy Thursday, My Lovelies! Today I want to share with you highlights from the Sketchy Reader in 2017. First I want to share with you my two most popular posts by a longshot: This post about our wallpaper stair risers is actually from 2014. You never know when things will go viral on Pinterest! The other most popular post was actually a book review, and it is also the highest rated book on Goodreads I read all year: The Crows of Beara Congratulations Julie Christine Johnson! 2017 is also the year I changed the focus of my blog, and completely gave my blog a makeover. Instead of Art @ Home, my blog's title is The Sketchy Reader. I became an empty nester in August, so I thought it was appropriate to rethink what I want to accomplish and give to my audience. I started an Etsy Store called The Sketchy Reader where I sell a snail mail letter subscription full of bookish goodness: I've also continued my art journaling which I share fairly consistently on Instagram, but not as much on the blog. I'm going to share more next year: I've also painted a little this year: I'm painting a series of architectural antiques, mainly doorknobs. Last but not least, it's been a great year of reading for me. I met my Goodreads 2017 Challenge: 2017 Reading Challenge Ricki has completed her goal of reading 60 books in 2017! hide 60 of 60 (100%) view books Below are my favorite books I read in 2017: I'd like to thank TLC Book Tours for sending me half of my favorite books this year. Thanks, Lisa and Trish! And my favorite book of 2017 *drumroll, please* This book was a real gem. I had heard it was good, but it far exceeded my expectations. I was sad when I finished it! You may read a review of The Keeper of Lost Things HERE. I want to thank you, My Lovelies, for reading my little blog. Y'all make my day when you visit, leave comments, and email me. I only have three more blogposts left in 2017: My last Literary Friday post, a last Advent Sunday post, and a special guest post on Christmas Day. Until next time... Blessings! Ricki Jill
