🧬 My Reading DNA

Figuring out why I like the books I like

Hello loves, happy Saturday 🩷

There’s so much I need to do in preparation for the move — not least of which is to actually FIND a house — so I’m distracting myself with fun side quests!

If you’re keen to make your own DNA mind map I used a template on Canva1 as my starting point — there are lots of different ones you can choose from so do let us know if you make one. It doesn’t just have to be about books either - so much potential here for creative excavation!

As I mentioned in the video, I have a very particular taste in books, so tread carefully if quirky, unhinged, often gory, fever dream WTF-did-I-just-read is not your jam ;-)

Somewhere between Enid Blighton and Stephen King I fell down a hole and never climbed out 😆

I hope you’re all having a weekend filled with moments of calm and pockets of creative joy

Annoyingly I can’t link directly to the template but go to Noisy Frame’s Canva page and search for “purple colorful organic mind map brainstorm” and you should find it!
