It's Monday! What Are You Reading? July 3, 2017

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are and about to be reading over the week. It's an opportunity to visit other blogs and to comment on their reads. And ... you can add to that ever growing TBR pile! So welcome everyone. This meme started with J Kaye's Blog and then was taken up by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at the Book Date. And here we are!

**************************************

What a blissful week! Hubby was out of town for an entire week. I love him and missed him but it's sometimes nice to have the house to myself, know what I mean? I even got in a couple of girls-only evenings. And lots of reading! Now I'm enjoying a 4-day weekend because for the 4th of July holiday. We never do much for this holiday, maybe we'll see some of the kids, maybe we won't, but it's nice to have the time off to just relax.  

If you are celebrating the 4th of July here in the US, have a fun, safe time! 

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you all have a great week. Happy reading!

Under a Blue Sky by Jason Sandberg ~ My Thoughts

Under a Blue Sky

Under a Blue Sky by Jason Sandberg
ebook, 14 pages
Published November 29th 2014 by Jason Sandberg eBooks

"For some time I've been wondering how I could include my paintings in an eBook. I would need an appropriate narrative to tie the various landscapes together. The thought occurred that the 'story' could be a poem about the experience of taking in a landscape painting, the process of slowing down and appreciating the details. I chose my favorite paintings and placed them into a variety of illustrated rooms to create the impression of walking through a museum. Under a Blue Sky is a poem for children that celebrates those first youthful glimpses at the complexity and scale of our world."—Jason Sandberg

My thoughts about Under a Blue Sky ~~

I have maybe read most, if not all, of Jason's books and even though they are short and sweet, I have loved them all. I love savoring the pictures he draws to go along with the beautiful words he writes.

Under a Blue Sky is full of fascinating illustrations of all kinds of skies. So as we are reading about blue skies, grey skies, and orange skies, we get to savor the wonderful pictures depicting the scenes he describes.

Under a Blue Sky and several of Jason's other books 

are only $.99 on Amazon right now. 

About the author

“I’m a Fine Artist who also wants to produce the ‘missing books’ from my childhood, the books I wished I’d had.”

Jason Sandberg, born in Minneapolis in 1971, acquired a love of drawing after discovering the artwork of Jacob Kurtzberg. His paintings have been exhibited in Minneapolis and Manhattan. Art Historian Scott McCloud classified his work as “uncategorizable.”
