I'm branching out a bit from my regular memes to write a post on "Free Time Friday." I've picked this particular meme because it's relevant to books and it tells you a little more about me. On my FTF post I'll be telling you how I spent my free time (hint: books).
This week was a craft-heavy week for me. I made monster bookmarks that look like they're eating the page which was adorable and fun. It gave me an opportunity to be social while still spending time doing something I love. Then, later in the week, I had another girl friend over and we made ribbon bookmarks with my hundreds of pendants I've been collecting over the years from Michaels. They were beautiful and funky. While crafting I listened to the soundtracks of Pirates of the Caribbean and Doctor Who. It occurred to me that it may be fun to sell some of these bookmarks on my blog if you want them but would rather not make them. Is that something my readers would be interested in?
And then, of course, I read. I finished Sea of Shadows, The Sin Eater's Daughter, and started on The Rithmatist, which I am still reading. I've been a bit of a slow reader, focusing on my writing mostly, and *sigh* homework.
When I wasn't reading I was watching The Walking Dead, my favorite comic of like all time, man. They were the first comics I read (I started when I was 22) and they have stuck with me all these years. When I first discovered them I read them on my iPad but then I wrote my thesis on zombie apocalypse literature and I had a reason to buy the physical Walking Dead: Compendium One. Over Christmas I procured Compendium Two to add to my collection. Honestly, and I'd like to hear what other people thought, I like the comics better, just as I like most books better than their movies. I like the comics better because they're gorier, scarier, and more shocking than the TV show. If you thought the TV show was terrifying, go read the comics.
