Any tips for keeping cute, furry creatures out of the tree? Or does this festive artifact just belong to Daisy now? 😆

Usually, a book a week is realistic but I’m ahead this year. Should I change the goal or enjoy the overachievement? WWYD?

It's lists like this that make me get book nerd imposter syndrome. Like, what am I even doing here saying I'm a reader? 😭😭😭

Daisy really doesn’t want me to work today. 🌼 Good morning, #cat lovers! 🤗

It’s my bookiversary! 🎉 Still very grateful for my publisher’s advice to stop trying to write “the book” so I’d finish “a book.” (Fellow overthinkers and perfectionists will get it!)

It all worked out great! 😊

The great thing about social media: I've looked at a bunch of the "authors I've read 5+ books" lists and I've had at least 1 author in common with so many lists.

Yes, my feed is populated by readers. We're all readers. But we also have more in common than we think. That's pretty cool.

Just finished listening to ‘Here One Moment’ by Liane Moriarty. The narration by Caroline Lee and Geraldine Hakewill really made the story come alive!

Thought this quote was thought-provoking: “Everyone loves a particular version of you, and when that person is gone, that version goes with them.”

Just joined last night, and am pleasantly surprised at the enjoyability of my feed this morning.

Fingers crossed it doesn’t turn into one of those “and this is why we can’t have nice things” things.

Putting the positive vibes out there! ✨ Have a wonderful day! 🤗
