Reading In the Woods
by Tana French and feeling thankful for the people who recommended it to me. It’s majestic, and so lyrical that I am reading extra slowly to avoid missing any beautiful morsels of prose.
Spending most afternoons curled up on the couch, writing, writing, writing. Loving it.
Instituting “no computer time” in the evenings and really enjoying it.
Working my way through this book for Lent.
Savoring the leftovers of the chocolate ganache tart with hazelnuts I made for Valentine’s Day.
Wearing lots of sweaters and appreciating every cool and breezy day.
Listening to an awful lot of Beethoven, actually. No matter how cliche it is, The Moonlight Sonata has my heart.
Looking forward to all the traveling we’re going to be doing this spring.
Plotting to do some sewing with beads and sequins.
Resolving to create some of my own cross-stitch designs.
Feeling just so very happy to be right where I am, doing just what I am doing.

I remember reading In the Woods and just having to reread some of the most beautiful words. There’s more after you finish that one.

I am so excited about it! I checked out one of her later ones first and never got to read it, but I am happy to know there are three or four more after this one!

This looks familiar but I’m having a bit of trouble wondering exactly where cuz it’s looks like at least 2 different places in town! Don’t tell me exactly, but is this at CalTech?

Yes, at Caltech!

I just sent you an email, but just wanted to say that all of this sounds super lovely. And can’t wait to hear about the travel plans. x

I love you. 😉 Your email made my weekend. And then I sent you another monster epistle! 🙂
