Recently, I've been seeing a lot of discourse about peoples' reading choices.

Pressure to read certain things or read quickly, criticism of both engaging and not engaging critically with what you read, and do our reading choices really matter at all? What is the point of this hobby of ours? 🧵 1/5

Taking a break from doomscrolling for a few days has really helped my mental health.
Finding the balance between staying informed & keeping myself sane has been,& will still remain, a challenge, but moments like this help infinitely:

WorldCon haul & the only two selfies I grabbed 😭

It was a wonderful, exhausting whirlwind.
Book-wise, found some absolute gems.

People-wise, Seattle was a heartwarming reminder of why the book community is amazing.
More on that soon as I do have some group photos to post 👀

We went to the Maizuru Park Cherry Blossom festival while the flowers were in full bloom this year and it was just magical. It feels like a moment frozen in time…liminal and more beautiful for it. 🌸✨

Focusing on reading my physical TBR so I can temporarily forget whatever the fuck is happening in the news right now :)

What Winter reads are you picking up to cope with the 5pm sunset?
