The story of our eponymous protagonist (how's that for a fun phrase?) weaves itself around ten titles that help to define portions of her life. With that in mind, here's your assignment:
Choose ten titles to represent your life to date. They can be fiction, non-fiction, mass market, self-published, handmade--whatever. Any and all books that have played a role in your life are game.
It will be hard to narrow the field to just ten titles, I'm sure, but try to keep it in that ballpark. And once you have your ten titles, use them to create your Ideal Bookshelf. Check here and here for a few examples--all of which have around twenty titles, I'm noticing, so let's say shoot for ten (for the sake of parity with this month's book) and don't exceed twenty (for the sake of parity with the examples). Somewhere in there I'm sure you'll find the right number.
Bring these Ideal Bookshelf illustrations (which can be done freehand, collage style, or with software, by the way) to our next meeting so we can all share them.
Happy holidays, happy reading, and happy illustrating. See you on the 11th!
