Day 16

The Mermaid Chair

The wife in the story was a paper sculptor and this is a very mediocre attempt at a somewhat 3-D paper creation in my sketchbook.  

Day 18

The Color Purple

Alice Walker

Taken very literally.

Day 19 

TheYear of Magical Thinking

Joan Didion

Day 20 

Cold Comfort Farm

Stella Gibbons

"She liked Victorian novels.  They were the only kind of novel you could read while eating an apple."

Day 21

The Sun Also Rises

Ernest Hemingway

The crowd at the Festival of the Running of the Bulls.

And with that, we're done with Squareathon 2020.  This was definitely a challenge as I hadn't read most of the books.  But, being able to use Google to search for information (plots synopsis, characters, settings, quotes, etc.) enabled me to persevere.  I'm glad that it was only 21 days.  I think I would say that 14 days would have been better, but that was not my choice. (Although I could have stopped at 14, but I wanted to finished what I had started.)  

I have some card making to catch up on before Inktober starts.
