I enjoy translated fiction, but wish I could experience it in the original language as a fluent speaker. I always wonder what the tone is like—how good is translation? Are the vibes the same for me as for readers who use the original language? I’m so curious! 💙📚

Hot new content warning: don’t read this if you’re in your luteal phase!! 📚💙

If you’re braced to be wrecked, however, this was an extremely compelling read.

Knitting hot take: I refuse to pre-read patterns. It’s way too overwhelming!! I’ll learn new skills as I come to them, but until then, the next row is none of my business. 🧶

So I read Tolkien as a kid, but honestly I read so much and my memory is so poor… I’m diving in as an adult and it feels like the first time 💙📚

You're not "late to the party" when you enjoy an old book for the first time. Books don't have an RSVP deadline. The party started long ago, and guests show up when they're meant to.

The immense urge to burst into tears thinking about all the hands that made these is overwhelming, what an incredible feat of time & skill
Saw “The Great Mughals” at the V&A yesterday. What an amazing array of textiles (alongside some stunning paintings, metalwork, ceramics, etc.). The skill and craftsmanship on display, remarkable! Here are some of my fave textile details — how can I pick just four?

In love with my current WIP! 🧶 I’ve been knitting this while listening to the audiobook How We Show Up by Mia Birdsong—highly recommend if you’re reflecting on what it looks like to cultivate meaningful community or in need of a hopeful glimpse of what’s possible. 💙📚

I’m way behind on my bookstagram, so why NOT join a new social media?

I was thinking about changing my user to rachelisprobablystartinganotherhobby anyways 🤷🏻‍♀️
