The Line by Keri Smith
Hi guys! So a while ago, I posted about Wreck this Journal, a book that I have thoroughly enjoyed wrecking.
The Line is a new book by Keri Smith, the author of WTJ. It is a journey with you and your pencil line, completing weird and wonderful tasks as you go along. You have to be committed to The Line. You follow the book’s instructions and let it take you wherever you may end up.
YOU HAVE STARTED A JOURNEY.
THIS LINE WILL BE YOUR COMPANION, LIKE A THIN THREAD THAT LEADS YOU THROUGH A MAZE.
Here it is! I haven’t completed it yet, but these are some of my favourite pages so far:
The very start! I loved doodling this front page, just scribbling whatever. It was very therapeutic.
Here, the line is broken, and you have to fix it by putting it back together somehow. I used tape.
So…the line is angry. You gotta cover it up-give it privacy- of course. So I sewed on a little blue felt door for it to sulk behind. (It’s cute, right?)
These are my favourite three so far. I can’t wait to see where the Line takes me next…
I haven’t had that much time to do it, because sixth form has been full on! So much work! But I’ve filled in a few pages where I’ve had time. I’d recommend it to everyone, it’s great fun and unlike book I’ve had before (it has an entirely new concept from WTJ.)
Thanks to Penguin Press for sending me The Line, along with some other lovely things in the post. It brightened my week!
What do you all think of The Line, or Wreck This Journal? Have you heard of them before? Comment below!
