I know I said I was taking a break, but I had to come on here to share my first read of 2021. Memorial by Bryan Washington was amazing. I loved pretty much everything about it and I finished it in basically two sittings, which is unusual for me (during the pandemic). It had so much that I love: Houston (my hometown), so visceral that it felt like I was there. Japan, my other home, was represented through another character’s perspective and made me nostalgic for it. This is a story about relationships of all kinds and the ebb and flows of the nature of all relationships. Heartily recommend! Worth the hype ❤️

If it snowed in Austin and you didn’t take pictures, did it actually happen?

I haven’t been around lately. My mental health hasn’t been great for the past couple of months. Taking time away from social media helped a bit so I’ll probably continue to do that for a little while. I’m also writing my next book and it’s surprising (ha) how much more I can get done when I’m not on Instagram all day.

Stay safe ❤️

Did any good reads sneak up on you at the end of 2

Did any good reads sneak up on you at the end of 2020? I was languishing with my reading slump when I picked up Alice Oseman’s Radio Silence and within moments I was sucked in! I read this within two days. It reminded me of another read I loved, Eliza and Her Monsters by Francesca Zappia. Both deal with creatives and their mental struggles. Radio Silence is about a popular YouTube podcast, its secretive Creator, and his friends. This book crept into my top 12 for the year and I immediately got Heartstopper from the same author 🥰

Do you keep track of your library reads? Inspired

Do you keep track of your library reads? Inspired by @lexiereadsbooks, I started a list in my notes app detailing the title and price of the books I borrowed from @austinpubliclibrary. This year I saved nearly $400 on books because I borrowed rather than bought! (I did not make a list of books I bought rather than borrowed; that list would be expensive, I’m sure.) I think the best part about borrowing books is that I can feel okay about quitting any reads that don’t work for me. This year, with my pandemic brain, it was a lot. Do you know how much you saved this year using your library?
