8. I like the book cover the best.

I used to doodle to help keep my attention focused as a student. I'm no good at "drawing," although I can handle geometric designs okay. As a college student, I used to fill my binder with dividers that had intricate "coloring" pages and color them with colored pencils while I listened to lectures. I could take notes faster than the professor spoke, and was taping the lecture for repeated listening anyway, but I couldn't keep my brain from wandering unless I had something to do. I once had a fellow student look at me, shocked, and tell me I was being "disrespectful." My professor heard, and walked over to explain that she knew I was attending, and absorbing the material, because I could always add something to any discussion, and because my comments and questions were always on point. She didn't mind that I "colored" to help stay focused on the topic.

This may be why the multimedia generation has left me behind; I don't like video much. I can read information so much faster than watching and listening, it always seems like a waste of my time.

Edited to add: that was quite a trip down memory lane, but that's where your drawings took me!
