Here is an exercise everyone can do! I did it just last night quite by awesome accident. Looking at my bedside table, my husband remarked at how astutely it could speak volumes of my personality and what I'm into. So let's do it!
First thing you'll notice about my nightstand is that it has two shelves that are stacked high with books. Not just books, but notebooks, comics and novels. Let's take them one by one, shall we?
Gotham Academy. I currently have the latest comic, volume nine, next to my bed. It's a more anime-ish comic in its art style and I like the story so far. Batman, AKA Bruce, does make the occasional caped drop-in but the story centers mainly around a girl named Olive. On top of her mom maybe being a baddie locked away in Arkham, she has some memory issues and serious pyro problems. Next to this comic is Lady Mechanika, a wonderfully steam punk collection of adventures with a strong female lead. If you haven't heard of it, please look it up.
On top of the comics and taking up slightly more space is my latest volumes in the few and VERY select manga series. I am picky about what manga I allow my mind to take in, so these series represent some of the best in my opinion. If you don't like them, that's fine. (Don't hate plz.) Toradora!, Kokoro Connect, World Trigger, and a couple "one shots" make up the mix. I am quite proud of my commitment to these series. Anyone who has waited for volume seven of Toradora! understands me completely and we should be instant friends/war buddies.
And yet, above these are the special books that I have either read and love so much that I need to constantly be within sleeping distance of, or I am currently reading and have yet to finish. Of those that I have finished and love, The Thirteenth Tale, is one I will always hold dear. The ones I'm working on include Walk in the Woods and more recently, You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost!) by the lovely Felicia Day. These are the ones by my bedside at the moment, but my collection also includes Ransom Riggs' Peculiar trilogy and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. A well rounded collection, if I do say so myself.
Then there are the prerequisite notebooks that come with being a writer. My notebooks are never just the regular thin ruled school notebooks you get from Wal-Mart. (No offense.) They tend to be the weirder shaped and more adventurously decorated types. One such notebook can be described as fake leather bound with thin paper and bendy cover. I love those ones. If I knew beforehand how much I would have loved this one, I would have bought out the store before it went out of business.
SO! WHAT DOES YOUR BEDSIDE LOOK LIKE?! If you accept this challenge, please comment below with your particulars, or a link to your website where your article is. Let's get to know each other! And not in a creepy way...
