Finished reading: Killer Underwear Invasion! How to Spot Fake News, Disinformation, and Conspiracy Theories by Elise Gravel 📚
This is a great book, aimed at kids. I’m definitely going to order it for our library. I might try to write a full review later.
Chronically ill stationery nerd life: you can’t find the pill sorter you thought was on your nightstand, but at least while you were searching for it, you found your date stamp.
Finished reading: Nobody’s Baby But Mine by Susan Elizabeth Phillips 📚
Most of this book is set in the Smoky Mountains near Asheville and I just kept thinking about all the aftermath of Hurricane Helene up there. This book was published in 1997.
My word for 2025 is MORE. I want to do more next year. Details forthcoming.
After all that thinking about traveler’s journals and field journals, I think I’m going to end up sticking with an official Bullet Journal or Leuchtterm A5. It’s been 10 years since I started living in a single notebook and it’s really working for me. So some years I buy a second one; that’s okay.
Finished reading: A Caribbean Heiress in Paris by Adriana Herrera 📚
I love Adriana Herrera’s Las Leonas series so much. This is a very hot 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Paris, Scotland, an awesome woman running a business and taking care of her sister. Top notch. Highly recommend.
Hello friends! If you’re seeing this on BlueSky, that’s because my website automatically syndicates there. Your replies get piped back into me via Micro.blog but I only see likes when I actually log in to BlueSky, which I only do every couple of days. Happy you found me there! 💛
Finished reading: Some Writer! The Story of E. B. White by Melissa Sweet 📚
White wrote the first novels I remember reading: Stuart Little, Charlotte’s Web, and The Trumpet of the Swan. This children’s biography had me tearing up several times. Highly recommend.
