What book are you reading, you ask? I finally started Atmosphere, which many of my friends mentioned as their favorite for 2025. We’ll see 😅. What was your favorite book of the year?

It turns out that having the same Kindle and Kindle case wasn't the best idea. Now, she’s all pretty in pink🩷

I found 『木曜日にココア』(Cocoa on Thursdays) by Michiko Aoyama. I absolutely loved What You Are Looking For Is in the Library, so I’m excited to give this a read 💕

Took a personal day & went to my favorite gluten-free bakery. Had a dreamy strawberry pistachio tart & couldn’t resist the sakura-shaped macaron (chocolate cherry flavored). No regrets 🌸#glutenfree #bookishbreak

One double cappuccino for the illusion of being put together ☕✨ and one straight espresso shot for the sheer act of survival. 🫠 Today’s aesthetic: running on fumes and questionable life choices. #SendHelp #CaffeineIsMyPersonalityNow

My husband bought me 『魔女のまなざし』(The Witch’s Gaze) today! It’s by Eiko Kadono, the author of Kiki’s Delivery Service, and it looks so cute. 🧙♀️✨ I want to start reading, but I took a week off because of work and dissertation burnout. Hoping to ease back into books with something magical

I overheard a group of second graders deep in debate about Bloody Mary. Classic. These students were passionately arguing about where she’s from.
“She’s from America!”
“No, she’s from Hawaii!”
“No, I heard she’s from Australia!”
The international legend of Bloody Mary lives on.

Just in time! ⏳✨ My students made it to a #書き初め (kakizome) session right before January slipped away! First calligraphy for the new year. Better late than never, right?

The Perks of Being a Wallflower—I loved the deep relationships and the little nods to Pittsburgh life 🖤💛 #southwestPAgirl The letter format worked, but the movie brought the story to life in a way I preferred. Both are worth your time, but the film edges it out for me #booksky

I just entered one of my stories into a short story contest! It’s not something I usually do, but I’m trying to share my writing more. I write under the pen name Joey Juszkiewicz, a tribute to my grandpa, Joseph Juszkiewicz, who meant a lot to me 💕
