What I'm Actually Reading Right Now

What I'm Actually Reading Right Now

"The current stack is less a plan and more a small weather report."

A stack of three books with glasses on top beside a ceramic mug on a linen surface in soft window light

There are three books on my table at the moment, which sounds intentional until you notice the bookmark in one of them is a receipt and another is being held open by a hair clip. My reading life is not especially elegant right now. It is more like a small queue of good intentions, waiting patiently beside a mug.

The List I Make Before the Week Gets Loud

The List I Make Before the Week Gets Loud

An open weekly planner with a fading pen, a ceramic mug, a receipt, and half a lemon on pale linen in soft morning light

"The list is not there to turn me into a better person by Friday. It is there to make the week visible while it is still soft enough to shape."

On Sunday evening, I found a receipt in my coat pocket, three unanswered messages on my phone, and half a lemon in the fridge that had clearly given up on being useful.
