Book club night. ☺️✨ Such magic, being in a room of shared love for literature, all of us holding the same books, different opinions, and the same longing for those warm cinnamon rolls 😛 on a cold winter night. I love that we were discussing such a fitting title too! #BookSky #BookClub

A poem on how to write a poem. 😄✍🏽

My initial drafts were ‘How to Collect Stamps’, ‘How to Find the Right Time To Freeze Your Feelings’, ‘How to Get a Free Cup of Coffee’, among others. 😄

In between the scribbled rough drafts and overthinking, I realized THAT was my poem!

Sunny winter Sunday morning ✨❄️☕️📚which means hot cocoa, a chilly book-club read, and sunbathing the laundry that hasn’t dried in days. 😂 #BookSky

I usually save my coffee outings for fiction reads, as if they deserve to be paired with latte art. Imagination and imagination. But maybe this non-fiction and self-discovery moment deserves its own too. ✨☕️ Neatly arranged, airy popcorns on the side, no less. 😛 #BookSky #NeuroDivergent

After-coffee words, reflections, observations. #WritingCommunity

I was due for a free coffee from my loyalty card. “Any drink, any size,” the barista winked. Naturally, my gaze settled on the grandest-looking latte to pair with the epic I’m currently reading. ☺️✨📖 ☕️ #BookSky

Ooh. Ocean Vuong, Jesmyn Ward, Claire Kilroy. Big fan of poetic writing, clever metaphors, and vivid visceral prose that makes you cry. 🥰✨

Attended a Historical Fiction Writing Workshop with the lovely Zahra 🫶🏽. Was beautiful connecting with fellow women writers through our rawest emotions, witnessing how our different stories circle back to the same core themes. 🥺❤️‍🩹 Thrilled to start ‘Daughters of the Nile’! #BookSky #WritingCommunity

It’s a non-school day and my daughter wanted to tag along on my usual bookish café retreats. Here are our choices. Bedtime stories paired with caffeine (mine) to represent our rebellious, eccentric souls. 😛📚 #BookSky

When you want to do a Booker shortlist and can only afford it from the library. 670 pages in 14 days — let’s go! ⚡️📚 #BookSky

Loving the Reader Summary feature on Fable. Am clearly a lit fic girl. 😌✨📚🫶🏽 What about you? #BookSky

“We never stopped crying. We just did it quieter.” — Jesmyn Ward, ‘Salvage The Bones’ 🥹🥹 #BookSky

Hoping to finish this today so I can move on with my next reservation at the library. Jesmyn Ward’s poetic prose has been such an inspiration for my own writing journey. ✨❤️ #BookSky
