Listography: Your Life in Lists by Lisa Nola
Listography.com
Available for $16.95 at Fred Flare – Link.
I loved the book High Fidelity by Nick Hornby and subsequently the movie starting John Cusak because the main character would always have a “Top 5” list, whether it was a song for certain situations or list of his ex-girlfriends. The new book Listography: Your Life in Lists by Lisa Nola (published by Chronicle Books) lets you transcribe your own favorites into this journal. With beautiful illustrations by Nathaniel Russell, you can make lists of things like your favorite movies, bands, cartoon shows, etc. But I love the really fun lists like “list the things you’d save if your home was on fire” or “list things you think everyone should do if money is not an issue”. You can also make up your own lists in the back and if you’re like me, list out the craft projects you want to tackle this year.
We are giving away 1 copy of Listography to a lucky CRAFT Blog reader today! So leave a comment to this post and we’ll pick one of you at random. Please make sure you enter your full name in the comments and you can also add your email address if you are comfortable with it (spell it all out for anti-spam protection). All comments will be closed by 9am PST on Thursday. The Winner will be announced on Friday at 9am PST. Good Luck!
Also, take a visit to listography.com. I just signed up and made my own list, figuring out my wishlist for craft projects to tackle personally outside of work in 2008. But for a great example, nothing beats Lisa’s page. For, lots of great inspiration for starting your own lists you can read the Listography blog too for cool listography news. Link.

I coveted this book at Stacey’s Books a while back…wouldn’t mind being the lucky winner, I must say.
I love making lists. I carry a book around now and keep my lists, it would be great to have a book that is made specifically for that purpose!

There’s something ever so satisfying about a list …
wow, that looks awesome!!! i love making lists– all kinds of lists- this is perfect :D

I am constantly make lists. It makes me so happy to know I’m not the only one. I think I heard of this book on NPR; could that be right? I have master lists and daily lists. additionally, I have lists of shopping dreams and names for babies I may never have. Thank you for considering me for your giveaway. Rock on with your bad selves.

What a fun idea. I’d love a copy of this book. :)
OOooo! Lists!
Count me in ;).

I love when they have the lists in High Fidelity, my favorite is “Top 5 track one, side one”. Too funny.
liana.woods@gmail.com
I would love to win this book! Yip yip!
I have been looking for this book for so long! NorCal is completely out!
This would be great for me, because I’m terrible at keeping a normal journal.
oh! how exciting! i hope i get it!
monicamarchdesigns at yahoo dot com
ooh! This book is so cool!
this is adorable. I usually just have “to do lists” written down, and then my other “lists” are all mental. Things like my “top 5 irrational fears” (number one is Zombies) or “All the things every boy I ever dated had in common” are in a mental list. I can only imagine what would happen if I had an opportunity to put all these things in writing. Yikes!
i love making lists of all sorts- this is perfect!!! love the artwork in it too
I see I’m not the only one who’s thought of giving this as Valentine’s gift :)
I’ve been eying this on fredflare. Please pick me! Pretty please with a cherry on top XD
Oh yes. Pick me.
Lists help me keep things in perspective. My mom raised us on lists and I continue to use them as a “grown-up”. For all the moaning and complaining I did as a child being left with a list by my mom, I now find myself doing the same to my husband.
Thanks for running this contest.
i could make a list of reasons why i love lists!

This book looks so cool! If I don’t win it, I’m going to buy it!
This is perfect for people who typically wouldn’t make these kinds of lists, but are inspired to do so after reading her info!
Pick Me! It looks so very cool and would be something I would put to great use!
This sounds almost as satisfying as making a list on the back of a used envelope.
leaving a comment just got checked off my list of things “to do”…

What a great idea! A book of lists! I am crazy for a good list, I make them all day at work and once I can cross everything OFF my list, I feel productive!

We love lists. When my niece was in high school she had post its with lists all over the place. On her bathroom mirror there was a list that included “Brush your teeth!” I still tease her about that almost 10 years later.
I love lists! This would be so fun to have.

this book was made for me! i’m a compulsive list maker. :)
I like lists in hindsight. “To-do” lists are part of my daily life, but I enjoy finding the lists with grander scale penned in the back of old diaries – “Things I want to do this year”, “Things I wish I did in highschool”.

Books! Books… I am listing my books, this year.
I’m not sure what my goal is, but I’m pretty sure I could use the pages I read to construct a paper mache moonbridge. Even if only theoretically.
This books looks nifty, is also what I am saying here. Count me in on the count.

Top 5 reasons I need this book;
1. If it isn’t on the to-do list it isn’t going to happen.
2. If it isn’t on the grocery list it won’t be bought.
3. If it isn’t on the take to school list it won’t arrive in class.
4. If it isn’t on the to read list it won’t be put on hold at the library.
5. If it isn’t on the remember list I’ll leave home without it.

Full day of grad school. Quota of words almost all used up. Result is inability to be creative and attract attention. Still want book, though.

Sounds fabulous! I’ve been wanting to do more “memoir” type writing but a straight memoir sounds so stuffy. This sounds really fresh and even better, easy :)

i think the neice who made the lists including “brush teeth” is more deserving of the book than the aunt who still teases her about it and posts comments on message boards telling everyone about it. especially since i write lists for her!

Yeah, it’s a really weird, obnoxious email address, but I’ve had it for about 8 years now. XD
I keep lists of books I’ve read, books I’m reading, books I want to read, projects to do, — everything. Lists are my memory.
1. Lists are easier
2. Easier than journals
3. Journals require sentences
4. Sentences want punctuation
5. Punctuation can slow you
6. You just jot things down
7. Down row of row
8. Row row row you boat
9. Boat gently down the stream
10. Stream of conciousness
I make tons of lists already, but having an illustrated and fun book to put them all in sounds awesome! I’d like to be entered in the contest:

When my 79-year-old mother fell out of a very tall tree (I know, I know, WHAT was she doing up in a very tall tree? Well, she was pruning the limbs, that’s what) and I had to clean out her house, I found dozens and dozens of notebooks full of lists. Books she wanted to read, favorite quotations, most uplifting thoughts, places she wanted to travel to, plants she wanted to add to her garden, and on and on.
i’ve started a list to organize my lists….
Wow!
laceyd5 at yahoo dot com
I thought I was alone in this list addiction! I think I missed the deadline to win the book though. It’s still nice to know there are others out there.
Aiiiiiiiie how fun!
love it!
Cute idea for a book!
gfeinbe1 at ithaca dot edu
Yay! I am a lifelong lister.
I love lists!
I need a list book
I don’t usually number my lists
4. I sometimes lie on my lists
did I mention I want the list book?
I have at least 3 lists going daily: food journal, orders that need to be filled, grocery, which exercises I’ve done (or need to do), supplies I need to buy, errands I need to run, and on and on…and on. I need this book!
I love lists just a little more than entering giveaway contests/raffles. I always add tasks to lists I’ll be sure to do (e.g. “eat dinner”) in order to feel more accomplished.
kathwins at gmail dot com
What a great idea. I saw this for kids once but never for adults. The more lists the better… bring it on.
How I’ve love a book of lists :-)
