Holiday greetings! I have not posted anything here in ages, but I'm back now, with a fabulous book giveaway! Thanks to Angela at Penguin Random House, I'm able to offer a copy of the new book, published in 2016, by artist and author Adam J. Kurtz, Pick Me Up: A Pep Talk for Now and Later, to a lucky reader! This journal presents a unique idea, which is to flip to a random page and leave your mark. When you return to that page again, you can add more to it, edit it, or simply read it. Here is a page from the beginning of the Pick Me Up:
Due to the busy-ness of this merry and time-consuming season, I have not had a chance to write (or draw) much in the book, but at least I was able to spend some time with the book (which really did lift me out of a weary mood one evening). I took some pics (with my handy dandy phone, of course) to show you a few pages, which I've featured here, with some small additions by me.
This book is humorous and fun but it also serves a purpose, which is to encourage and to help put things into perspective. I know I'll enjoy it even more in the days ahead.
