My husband has made me a bookish Advent (after I asked him a couple times, but that’s okay) by writing the titles of 24 of my unread books, and the order in which I open them is the order in which I’ll read them. I’m very excited! Might do a thread to share the titles

Happy St. Andrew's Day! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 If you're in the mood for a Scottish-inspired read, why not check out Sea of Souls? 👀📚 It's got rugged landscapes, high seas adventure, magic and folklore, and really bad weather (which everyone in Scotland can surely relate to...😅🌧️) #StAndrewsDay

thinking about the little fox in the fellowship of the ring 🦊
“A fox passing through the wood on business of his own stopped several minutes and sniffed. ‘Hobbits!’ he thought. ‘Well, what next? I have heard of strange doings in this land, but I have seldom heard of a hobbit sleeping out of doors under a tree. Three of them! There’s something mighty queer behind this.’ He was quite right, but he never found out any more about it.”

Caught in that liminal space where I know my kid is going to wake up from her nap soon so I can't start anything too involved but also she keeps sleeping so I keep lamenting not starting something I could have had finished by now
