Aashirya likes making coffee and reading books. We get to see her making coffee, but there's never really a natural point where she can sit down and read.
Beatrix likes making wall art and dancing. She does this many times throughout the book.

My reset author is Darcy Coates. I know not everyone's a fan of her work, but I find it to be just simple yet enjoyable enough to refresh my brain when I'm in a writing funk.
My reset author is Ken Follett. I’ve read so many of his - always love them - and there’s so many still awaiting me 🙂↔️
My reset author is always KJ Charles. Whether I’m coming off a great book hangover, or a flop, she brings me back home.
