Preview: getting my creative mojo back Pip Reads 2019-01-03 | Starting from 26th October 2018 I am challenging myself to make 30 creative deposits into my 'Creative Bank'. This is what I have been working on for the last few months.I'm trying the action over perfection thing so here is the first little bit which will hold me accountable to finishing the rest. Also I am sitting here in my yoga clothes procrastinating. So congratulations you now sit above yoga on the ladder of productivity. I would much rather upload a raw unedited video than start this yoga thing. Which is annoying because someone blew my mind recently by saying that procrastination = resistance. Why am I resisting against something that I know will be good for me? Ok ok, I'll press 'Publish' and get on with my day.˗ˏˋ M E N T I O N E D ˎˊ˗How I get my original Ideas by Kesh:youtube.com/watch?v=WUiIIDVWxM4˗ˏˋ C H A T W I T H M E ˎˊ˗Goodreads: goo.gl/jey9HBTwitter: @PipReadsInstagram: @pipreads˗ˏˋ F A C T S ˎˊ˗Shot on my Samsung Galaxy S7Edited in Adobe Premiere ProDrawings by meMusic by the talented Joakim Karud http://youtube.com/joakimkarud
Mood reader tries to make a TBR Pip Reads 2018-11-19 | This is my end of the year Book tag. I am a big mood reader so it is really hard for me to work with a TBR. How am I going to fit all these books in by the end of the year. This felt much more achievable when I filmed it a month ago. Looks like I better jump off here and get back to reading. Readathons and I are not friends, buddy-reads are a struggle. But don't worry. I did my best with this one. Loved the questions but so hard to answer. ˗ˏˋ M E N T I O N E D ˎˊ˗Lucy at Lucy Rutherford youtube.com/user/kaiserchiefmonsterAriel Bissett - just google her.Many books.

I read this book literally years ago, it was not worth remembering and I filed all my receipts. I don't have page numbers or quotes because I honestly don't care that much.

Books I still think about Pip Reads 2017-12-22 | Here are 5 books I read at least 2 years ago that have stuck with me. I think it's interesting to look back at the books that have stood the test of time. I have created some shelves on Goodreads cataloging the best/favourite reads of each year. It's interesting to see how my reading tastes have developed. I thought it might be nice to share some of these books with you, as I haven't been a public Reader for as long as I have been Reading, and this might be a nice way to get to know me.I can't wait for what new stories 2018 will bring.\ \ M E N T I O N E D \ \White Oleander by Janet FitchThe Age of Earthquakes by Douglas CouplandStone Gods by Janette WintersonThe Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake by Aimee BenderNight Film by Marisha Pessl\ \ C H A T W I T H M E \ \Goodreads: goo.gl/jey9HBTwitter: @PipReadsInstagram: @pipreads
