Super cool, Im listening to Murakami's book in audiobook form while commuting to work right now. He's also my favorite author and listening to WITAWITAR gets me inspired, just listening to how he and what he thinks about life.

“The last of a generation able to sit with books” (apologies if that’s not your exact quote). An arrow straight to the heart for the truth of it! I see that in my grandsons who are slowly leaving books behind for the siren call of “screen time”. A rather slippery slope of several decades, really.

The Reading Room you describe seems an apt and important counterpoint. We all need to check in with our own “interiors” - so that seed thoughts that came from other blooms can find a little room, and time, to germinate. Thanks for that.

Ah yes, Martin’s book is fantastic, and good to have Martin bring all the treasures together in one place.

I love the idea of a reading room. I don't read a lot of books about art but you're making me want to add those to my cart! I just checked out a book about a turtle rescue that I can't wait to start!

I have Jessica Smith's '15 Minute Art - Drawing' book at home. Last year, I took it with me on holiday and drew one page every day. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Since then, I have purchased a few other books that are similar.

I am impressed with your blog. I started a blog on my new website. I like your content and was wondering if you would look at mine to give me some suggestions? I am thinking of joining, but I want to be sure it will give me the information that I need to succeed as a children's picture book author. I have 3 self published books on Amazon and a new one on the way. My website is www.gatlinslegacyoflove.com and my email is rhondakgatlin@gmail.com My name is Rhonda-Kay (Gatlin). Thank you in advance.
