Wreck It

Spent the weekend hanging out with my lil bro (known as Bubby to me), his awesome wife and the Hubbin.  We got to hang out down in the National Mall area in the worlds most perfect, drizzily, cool October weather WOOHOO!  As we wandered the museums, Hubbin and I headed straight for the books.  One of the books I discovered made me squeal in delight.  It is called Wreck this Journal by Keri Smith and it is so cool.

I love the sheer wrongness of purposely destroying a book.  The best part though is the insanely creative ways people have come up with to "wreck" this book.  I have seen people purposly ignore directions, create art from the ruins, and come up with completley out of the box ways to follow the instructions.  This is an interactive book that encourages all the best part of reading and writing, creativity, different thinking and doing things your own way.  I want this SO BAD!  Happy Reading Everybody!

Journaling

I am a sucker for a really beautiful notebook/journal.  I love the open empty pages just begging for a story to be written in.  I myself have a whole shelf full of journals with story ideas that I want other people to write, bits of dreams that have inspired stories I tell my nephews and long suffering Hubbin, and any other little literary tidbits that tickle my fancy at the moment.  Here are a few awesome books to jot your own stories down in.

Tolkien Quote Journal

My baby sis has got me hooked on this quote, I love it!

Alice in Wonderland Journal

Nothing like Alice and the Mad Hatter to remind you any story is possible

Nefarious Ideas

Bwahahaha (That is my evil laugh)

Lapis Lazuil Journal

This one looks like a magic book that will later be discovered in a dusty old temple

Romeo and Juliet Journal

The perfect place to put that romantic novel you know you are secretly dying to write

Tree Journal

I love love love love love love love trees!

Quill and Ink

Of course you will need the perfect writing tool to inspire your amazing stories

What do you use your journal for?  Do you fill them up before getting a new one?  Does anyone else wish somebody would write the book out of all the story idea's in your head?
