Hi, it is Melba here ~ time to share what I have been reading, listening, and watching...
Reading...
This week I bought three books. I won't be finishing them all anytime soon which is sort of good because I need to hold up on the book buying. AmazonPrime (which my brother in law signed me up for :) makes it too easy!
I will be reading a few chapters of Faeries of Dreamdark:Blackbringer by Laini Taylor everynight before I go to bed. I have been a long time reader of Grow Wings and blogger friend of Laini's so I don't really know why I didn't buy and read her book sooner.
The second book I purchased this week was also written by a Creative Blogger; Christine Mason Miller who writes the blogs Swirly Girl and Sparkletopia. Christine's new book, Ordinary Sparkling Moments, is the kind of book you savor. I keep flipping through the gorgeous pages reading a few at a time. This is one of my favorite pages so far.
And finally, I purchased Soul Coaching by Denise Linn because I signed up to participate in my dear Creative Blogger friend, Jamie's, new project called The Next Chapter. I haven't received the book yet, but that's OK because the project doesn't start until November. You should join! Everything Jamie does is wonderful ~ she is very talented, insightful, and lovely!
As you can tell I am a firm believer in supporting our Creative Blogging Sisters!
Listening...
One of my favorite bands is the Foo Fighters. I loaded all their CD's into our stereo this Sunday and enjoyed listening to them all. My favorite is still The Color and Shape.
Earlier in the week I listened to the Magnolia Soundtrack. I remember liking the movie when I saw it in the theater in 1999. For some reason I was thinking about the CD and remembered we had it. I really like Aimee Mann's voice.
While I was getting the Magnolia CD I noticed the About A Boy Soundtrack by Badly Drawn Boy so I gave it a listen as well. I remember liking the movie better than the CD. I like Badly Drawn Boy, I like The Hour of Bewilderbeast best.
Watching...
The only movie we watched this week was Charlie Wilson's War. I liked it. I had to really pay attention because I don't remember history. I realize now that despite my bad memory, I like historical movies. Last spring we watched John Adams on HBO and I loved the mini-series.
I updated this site a bit today; cleaning up some links. Let me know if there are any other Inspiring Creative Communities you think I might want to list on the sidebar to the right.
Thanks for your comments on last week's post!
It is so fun to share what we are reading, listening, and watching!!!
Hope you have a great week!
XO, Melba
P.S. I am compiling a list of daily inspiration to create an archive for Creating in the Midst. I would love to hear from you!
Ok! All would be well written:)
