book sleuth: harriet the spy (3 of 6)

hi, everyone! so it has been a while, and man, i am fully aware that i am dragging out the book sleuth's debut in a painfully long way... thanks for being patient, or at least being nice and/or quiet about your discontent. here's number three, harriet the spy by louise fitzhugh!


IMPORTANT: harriet the spy was my very favorite book when i was small.

stay tuned (for real this time! the holiday season and lack of immediate grad school obligations means that i can post at a less annoyingly infrequent rate) for the second half of the book sleuth's recommended reading!

away we go: the book sleuth (1 of 6)

all right, i'll admit that i'm making zero work right now that is not grad-school-flavored. in an effort to keep things at least a little bit updated around here, here's the first of my book sleuth spreads! fun fact: in a serendipitous trip to baltimore's book thing, i found a free copy of my father's dragon just days after i finished the series. hooray! if you'd like to read my lovely kid-oriented review of the book as well, click to enlarge, friends!

i did the whole spread: digital collage for the color full-page and the black and white spread, the writing, and the layout. i am so not a graphic designer, but i think the layout is pretty okay? maybe? i will even settle for not distractingly bad. stay tuned for the rest of the series, to be unveiled in a painstakingly slow manner. thanks for hanging with me as i try to, you know, get my masters.
