I always love a creative challenge, so I was delighted to accept a copy of the latest book from Keri Smith to review - The Line (affiliate link). I've had a lot of fun working with one of her previous books, Wreck This Journal, and so I knew it would be the kind of thing I'd enjoy.
The premise of the book is very simple. Take a pencil and start at the beginning with a line. You just go through the pages one at a time, taking your line with you.
The book starts off simply as you get used to the process, moving the pencil slowly, quickly and in different directions, following the instructions as you go. There's plenty to read as well to make you think, and the whole process is very relaxing.
Some of the pages can be completed quickly, but as you progress further into the book you need to stop and think a little more and the tasks become more interesting. I have a little way to go with the book yet, and I'm really interested to find out where my line will take me!
I received a copy of this book to review.
I love this, I love how you can just let your mind and pencil roam :)
