Casual thoughts, photos, and the odd video
One good thing that’s come out of my ranting about the “Wuthering Heights” trailer is that my husband is finally reading Wuthering Heights.
And he just texted me this, which made me happy. The Emily Brontë influence is strong with me lol.
Braved LA traffic to go to a bookish event last night for a signed book.
Exhausted? Yes.
Worth it? Also yes.
“The dog pooped on my library book” is not a sentence I ever thought I’d say in my life.
To think that there are actually people out there living my dream life of owning a bookstore and lowkey pushing customers to buy their favourite books.
Going on a trip, and my two most painful decisions are:
Which books should I bring, and
Which notebooks can I bear to leave behind?
Kobi blends in with our brown colour scheme.
Currently reading: The Night Tiger by Yangsze Choo
Annotating Pride and Prejudice for someone special. It’s been a long time, and I’ve missed doing taking the time to slow down and savour the words in a book like this.
Don’t mind me, just living my fantasy Belle life.
I can’t include The Picture of Dorian Grey in my commonplace book because I would have to copy almost the whole book.
What’s that book for you?
Went a little overboard at the library..again.
Therapy but it costs less.
Not a single page unmarked in my well-loved copy. I really needed this re-read at this time in my creative life.
Thank you for saving me again, Salinger.
It’s not quite a book stack, but I’m currently re-reading Franny and Zooey, and it’s re-centring, to say the least.
husband: you can’t just keep buying books!
me: i don’t understand
My Sunday Shelfie features my stack of books from the library and current reads. I’ve been a bit greedy but not in the least regretful.
My mom first brought me to our local Barnes and Noble when I was in elementary school.
During a chaotic childhood, those memories of sitting there for a couple hours just to read books with her are some of my most treasured.
Over 20 years later, it’s still standing.
Made it to EIGHT indie bookstores this past weekend!
Not too shabby for a hermit.
Joanna Penn said nobody actually reads their pretty special edition books.
Um I do!
(I mean, I wash my hands thoroughly first, but…)
I’m not one of those people who buys books just for their aesthetics.
They’re for reading.
(which is why I don’t buy those pretty clothbound Penguin books, because they’re not actually easy to read and the design starts flaking off if you handle it too much)
Happy Easter Sunday Stack. My current reads:
To Kill a Mockingbird
How to Read a Book (still not done)
Plus a handmade bookmark my son made for me “because you love reading so much, Mama.” 😭
