I managed to eek out some blue ink from my Platinum Preppy to do this sketch, but now I give up. It constantly blocks (it’s not the pen it’s the ink). These books were left behind by my daughter – she finished them on the beach. A nice easy read like Stephen King is helping me get back into reading (I was far from my goal last year)…and is great for reading in bed.

Here are the books my wife bought at Fully Booked on the weekend (Sunday 14th Sept). We spent ages hunting for ‘best books of the year’ and came up with two (that were available)…plus (on top) we bought a cheap sketchbook for journaling.

My habit is to just sketch what is in front of me, so here is what happened to be on our coffee table one evening. I read this series of books (the Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini) years ago but my wife has been enjoying them recently. Paolini started writing the first book in the series (Eragon), when he was 15!

I have myself set a resolution to read more this year and I plan sketch the books as I finish reading them (why not after all). This is the first I have finished – I actually bought it in the UK last summer, so that shows my pace of reading these days! This one was not bad – kind of a long build up to a surprise (no spoilers)…which was unexpected but not really that exciting.
