So. I am on a book-buying ban for 2025, so I am going to make a screenshot list here of everything I’m tempted by. I have a few pre-orders coming, but no subscriptions, though I am open to swapsies and arcs (😂). I’m a slow reader and have a backlog so let’s see.

Is A River Alive by Robert Macfarlane. Jorie Graham says on Twitter: Best book l've read in decades... I don't actually know when I've read something this exciting & moving & brilliantly comprehensive & mind altering. Thank you (that’s all in the image as well as the book)

I will probably shoot some video — and list definitely of the Shell grotto 😁

Well if you’d like to visit a Shell Grotto and see an installation/opéra about a sex doll with me — it’s not to everyone’s taste (though i can’t imagine why not)…

Fifty minutes to Girl’s Weekend. I am frantically trying to make the Spare Room look luxe with flowers from the garden and that silk eiderdown.

something to attend to, as @wordkunst.bsky.social might describe it.

I think if you still have fondness and respect for each other (despite the different lives) then thinking about visiting them is coming up for a reason.

I feel like Goldilocks, three things to look forward to: one small, one medium-sized and one humûngous (and so, perfect).

La Doleur Exquisabella @minxmarple.bsky.social · 2d

Amazed by anything else, to be honest.
