Cracking my spine.

No, not literally (as if!)

I mean "Wreck this Journal."

 If, like me, you've been living under a rock, you may not be aware of this book.  Let me enlighten you...  Wreck this Journal by Keri Smith is a bit of a novelty in that it encourages creativity and thinking outside the box, using (often) bizarre suggestions to fill and destroy pages within the actual book.  You are only limited by your own imagination, and what you aim to be left with is your own unique journal, essentially a "work of art."

 One of the first tasks (and one I personally hate doing) is to crack the spine of the book.  Here goes....

Ouch!  OK, so it may have been painful at first, but actually it was quite liberating.  Talk about living life on the wild side!  I just realised on the back cover that at some point, I'm going to have to mail this journal to myself.... oh boy (sigh).

I think this book is meant to appeal to all ages, but I think teens may enjoy this the most.  Either way, at £6.47 on Amazon, I think it would make a cool stocking-filler for Christmas.  I'm quite looking forward to seeing how my journal shapes out.  I may even get Little H to contribute some of his Crayola handiwork...
