Currently working on a project called Travel through Books: reading one book from every country in the world that teaches me something about the culture and/or history of the people that live there. I am creating an atlas journal to record my experience.
Sometimes I bake when I’m stressed. Today I made this caramelized banana cheesecake strudel and it helped to elevate my mood!

I don’t read a lot of classics but Patricia Highsmith is an exception. She had a talent for getting inside a twisted mind. Everything I’ve read about her suggested she was an unpleasant person to be around, but she somehow gets me to root for this villain, Mr Tom Ripley.

Started my book for Belgium 🇧🇪 for the Global Reading Challenge. It’s a spy novel that takes place during the 1958 World Expo in Brussels. Not a typical read for me but I’m learning a lot already!

I am curious how many cats you have. I just finished Starter Villain and loved the two ginger cats, probably because I have 2 of my own 🧡🧡

Started 2 buddy reads, snuggled with my pets, fell on some black ice, baked some pistachio dark chocolate chip cookies. Not a bad Sunday!
