I tried to read The Gordonston Ladies Dog Walking Club. I really did! But I couldn't do it. Everything about this book bothered me. It doesn't feel like it was edited. It tells instead of showing. I had to put it down and move on.

So I picked up Messenger by Lois Lowry. I just started this book yesterday, so I haven't read very much, but already I feel like it is a better fit.

It's a really fun book, and it already has me doodling more. The idea is to use visual language to take notes, instead of just words. I used this philosophy while taking notes at my last meeting. It worked really well for the topic we were discussing. I am interested to see how it works in future meetings and taking notes on readings.
