false 428862 1 For anyone who's ever wished to, but had trouble starting, keeping, or finishing a journal or sketchbook comes <i>Wreck This Journal</i>, an illustrated book that features a subversive collection of prompts, asking readers to muster up their best mistake- and mess-making abilities to fill the pages of the book (and destroy them).
