Wrap-up of 2024 of my @the.storygraph account. No Wrap-up of 2024 of my @the.storygraph account.

Not my best year (also in reading 😭) but I have discovered new (to me) authors like Gospodinov and WYNDHAM. 

This year I have also DNF 5 books, which seems a lot. I don’t know if this is because I know better what I like or if I have less and less patienceā€¦šŸ™„šŸ¤”

20% of the books I read have more than 500 pages, which surprised me as I tend to prefer shorter books. 

I didn’t read as many nonfiction books as I would have wanted. There is definitely room for improvement there, as well as with reading BIPOC authors. 

35% of the books I read were audiobooks, format which has risen this 2024 a lot for me, as I find reading in the public transport more and more uncomfortable and audiobooks are very convenient. 

I did improve in reading more in Spanish, due to audiobooks I am sure. But hey! It is what it is šŸ™šŸ»

Average rating is 3.73 which is a bit low, I think. 

What about your statistics? Curious to know…

We saw the International Court of Justice (impressive!) and as it was finally sunny, we decided to take the tram to visit the beach. We enjoyed it very much.

I want to show you my latest illustration, Erik the hedgehog! He is ready to trick or treat in the lovely, cozy forest where he lives. 
.
I drew him for October’s prompt ā€œTrick or Treatā€ of Mimi’s Illustration Club.
.
I had some problems with the big pumpkin, trying to make it look more ā€œpumped outā€ and round, but I think in the end I kind of make it look ok…
.
Anyhow, I hope you like it. Take care.

He has moved there recently as he decided to start a new family. It has everything he needs: big windows, a balcony, a bell ring, plants, and big flowers for shadow and a bit of privacy.

Would you like to pass by and say hi? And maybe bring him a carrot cake or some cookies?

I’d like to share my latest illustration, which I made for Mimi’s Club. Topic for August is ā€œBugs & Flowersā€.

I had so much fun creating this one…After a really long time, I have managed to (more or less) regularly sit down and draw a bit. This year I basically won’t have proper holidays, so I had fun thinking about this little worm enjoying his drink in the sun but, of course, with protection and a good hat!

.
ItĀ“s been a while…lots of things have happened lately and I basically did not feel like drawing nor posting here…Right now, to help myself, I have decided to start posting again somehow regularly. 
.
I’d like to share an illustration I made in June for Mimi’s Club. Topic is ā€œFarmyard Friendsā€.
.
I am constantly learning what I like and what I don’t at illustrating scenes. I love drawing animals and putting them in all kinds of cute and funny situations. Here some animals (and plants) gather together to welcome a newborn duck. Everyone seems a bit confused and I don’t know why. Can you help me guessing why in the comments section?

.
I have finally had some time to sit down and post something here. I feel like I am always writing the same caption but yet again my physical problems had stopped me from sitting on a chair more than necessary for work, let alone for ā€œpleasureā€.
.
Anyhow, here is my illustration for Mimi’s Club for April 2024. Topic is ā€œFairy Talesā€. The illustration for May is already finished and I will hopefully post it later this week. Fingers crossed.
.
I am very pleased with the result. I love the final colours and the two little friends in it. I like it so much that I have printed it on a t-shirt…I definitely see the little improvements in the way I illustrate (I cannot really call it still ā€œstyleā€). Next challenge is drawing people…Hopefully I could slowly start learning it.

Anyway, I hope you like it.
