Nothing I love more than a slow morning with hot coffee, a good book, and my dog snuggled up next to me. @slow.morning.reads

  • mid-year check-in: favourite book?

    what’s been the best book you’ve read this year, so far? i love it when a book sneaks up on you and unexpectedly - any surprises? my current top two are blood over bright haven (ml wang) and masters of death (olivie blake). when starting blood over bright haven i was pretty confident i would like it, but masters of death was a complete surprise!

  • Historical Fiction recommendations wanted

    Edit: I think I'm looking for books that are set in or are based on historical America/USA. I really enjoyed Ring Shout and plan on reading Dread Nation. I like bipoc, queer, fantasy, and/or horror themes in historical fiction.

    what are your favorite nonbook bookish items?

    it seems like these days i’m always getting ads for some new bookish good and was wondering what bookish items everyone else has bought or collected, and what is your favorite one of these items? it could be something with an actual use (like a little reading light that you can stick on your book) or a cute little trinket! my favorite thing i’ve acquired recently is this little charm chain that i’ve stuck on my kindle (think those bookmark charms but it has a little adhesive thing that makes it stick to a kindle case). i made it myself at a local book festival and it adds the perfect amount of character!

    Adaptation

    Can't wait to see this as a film! Netflix has finished production but no release date yet. 😭 Sally Field is playing Tova and the director did Where the Crawdads Sing so I just know it's gonna be great.

    Murata’s short story collection is equally as thought provoking and reflective as it is vile. I love her work for the originality, and her visceral exploration of human experience. Do not read or listen while eating 😂
