Today’s post from Shimelle is: What’s your favourite reading
material? Like the kind of favourite that you would take it to read if
you had to cut off the rest of the world for years and years?

This one is easy for me. Fiction. I love reading fiction. Just about any
mainstream fiction will do. I don’t read genres that often so no
fantasy, romance, or horror. Rarely science fiction or mystery. No
historical fiction. But I will pick a good story over just about
anything else. My requirements for locations where I am willing to live
depend on where Amazon delivers.


I am constantly looking for new books and new authors. Not new, per se,
but new to me. Any suggestions?

Tell your blog readers about someone who has been a creative
influence in your life — a crafty mum, aunt or grandparent, an
influential school teacher or a friend who brought out your creative
side, perhaps.
Wow this one is actually a loaded question for me funny enough. My mom
is an amazingly talented person. She is a true artist in my mind but
she’s never been an artist by profession. She was an art restorer for a
long time and then a jewelry designer and now she’s an interior
decorator. But instead of it all inspiring me, it’s always intimidated
me. I always knew I just didn’t have whatever gene it was that you
needed. I’ve always craved being artistic. I’ve always wished I was
naturally talented at it. But oh well, I am good with computers…..
