Happy Saturday, friends. This is a special edition of my Messy Marginalia and I'm here to say that I've decided to join The Classics Club! My sweet friend Laila at Big Reading Life recently joined and it looked like just the club I needed to be in! What is The Classics Club? It's a group of… Continue reading Joining the Classics Club!

Sing, Unburied, Sing by Jesmyn Ward
I had to take things slowly while reading Sing, Unburied, Sing. I debated whether or not to even finish it because of how heavy it felt right from the beginning. But my strategy for this book was simple: two chapters each night, max. But once I got about 2/3 of the way through the… Continue reading Sing, Unburied, Sing by Jesmyn Ward
Hobonichi Weekly layouts, Feb 5-11 & Feb 12-18
Through all of my malaise, I neglected to post a couple of weeks of my hobonichi layouts! I won't show you last week's because it is basically empty but I did a good job of keeping up with them the previous two weeks. I won't go through all of my goals line by line… Continue reading Hobonichi Weekly layouts, Feb 5-11 & Feb 12-18
The Greenglass House by Kate Milford
I first heard about The Greenglass House on the What Should I Read Next podcast and was enchanted by Anne Bogel's brief synopsis. Shortly after her podcast, it was included Anne's roundup of books to cozy up with this winter and she described it as a wink and a nod to The Phantom Tollbooth, which… Continue reading The Greenglass House by Kate Milford
Last week’s Hobonichi spread
Just wanted to pop in and share last week's Hobo spread and check in on my productivity for the week. I read an amazing book (Sing, Unburied, Sing -- but more about that soon!) that was short but very heavy, so it took the entire week. So I didn't meet all of my reading goals,… Continue reading Last week’s Hobonichi spread
A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles
We’re only a few weeks into 2018, but I think A Gentleman in Moscow is a contender for my favorite book of the year! In a lot of ways, this felt like an adult version of Eloise and a more approachable War and Peace. I’m not an experienced Russian novel reader, but I would have easily… Continue reading A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles
Weekly Review
I wasn't planning on a Tuesday post this week, but here I am: hopped up on tea and ready to write! I thought I'd share a snapshot of last week's spread in my planner and discuss my productivity for the week. Last week was a great week for me! I had Monday off for a scheduled… Continue reading Weekly Review
Goodbye, Vitamin by Rachel Khong
I was surprised by how quickly I finished Goodbye, Vitamin by Rachel Khong. Because it was written in a stream of consciousness with short vignettes, I wasn’t sure if I was going to stick with it. I’d recently started a book that was written in the same style and had to bail. But this was… Continue reading Goodbye, Vitamin by Rachel Khong
Weekly Tarot Spread
Happy Monday morning, friends! Many of you know how much I love reading Tarot cards. You can read My Tarot Philosophy here, but in a nutshell: I love how interpreting the cards taps into the hidden recesses of my brain. I spent a few minutes with my cards last night in anticipation for this week.… Continue reading Weekly Tarot Spread
Weekly Review
What a strange week! We're all continuing to get over a cold that knocked us flat last week, but I want to check in on my week's productivity nonetheless. I've been using my Hobonichi Techo Cousin to religiously track my time spent on various goals. I'm not sure if it's actually going to help me… Continue reading Weekly Review
