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 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).

Goodnight, moonlickers.
No surprises tonight, it’s the moon, fat and magical, luring us to our doom. Or something.
