Welcome to Day 5 of my 41st Birthweek Bonanza (7 days, 7 lists, 41 good things)!
I got some much needed rest and am back to continue the celebration with three more days of good stuff.
Today I share 10 books that are on my bookshelf (physical or virtual) that I've read recently, am reading now, or have flipped through and plan to sink into soon.
Whether you're interested in making art, studying it or trying to sell it, there's something here for you.

- Show Your Work!: 10 Ways to Share Your Creativity and Get Discovered, by Austin Kleon
- Open Your Studio: Nine Steps to A Successful Art Event, by Melinda Cootsona
- I'd Rather Be in the Studio: The Artist's No-Excuse Guide to Self-Promotion, by Alyson B. Stanfield
- Children and Painting, by Cathy Weisman Topal
- Art In Action 2: Introducing Children to the World of Art With 24 Creative Projects Inspired by 12 Masterpieces, by Maja Pitamic (The book I link to has a slightly different title than the one I have - a Canada/US thing, perhaps?)
