Both of my recs would fit the bill!

Happy reading 🏳️‍🌈

That sounds so cute!
Have you heard of the Tomes & Tea series by Rebecca Thorne? I read a bit of the first and it was fun.
Also enjoyed The House by the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune, and have heard good things about its sequel!

Those are the two titles that came to mind right away! 📚

What’s the last good book you read? I love giving recs 🤓📚

It was a nice chance to reflect. What would your theme be for 2025? For me, pleasure is resistance and resistance is pleasure. Let’s do this.

I want to consume and maybe even write stand up comedy because damn, do we need gallows humor right now. One of my favorite lessons I’ve learned in the last few years is that laughter is resistance, the same as joy is resistance.

I want to express myself more freely with people around me, and actively listen so they feel like they can do the same with me. I want to find the joy in the activities I can do that will ground me in a sense of community that can’t be shattered by outside forces.

I’ve spent the last 5+ years learning and unlearning who I am and what brings me joy. I want to surround myself with the people and community I have carefully curated because I love them all for each individual pleasure and joy they bring into my life.

Anyway, a week ago when I still had some (probably naive) optimism, I knew right away what I wanted my theme to be. 2025 would be my year of pleasure. In the broadest sense of the word, I want to try to prioritize things that bring me pleasure.
