July reads…busy month so not so many. My favorite was probably “Land.” I didn’t always look forward to reading it, but it has really stuck with me 💙📚
We’ve been on the Camino (Portuguese coastal route) for two days, and both the vibes and the views are immaculate
June reads 💙📚 Especially loved “A Place for Us” and “John of John.” And always happy to have new writing from Jesmyn Ward
Posted outside a local bar…this drives me SO nuts Why are you people getting married?!
I’ve seen two rattlesnakes in two days. Here’s the big guy from this morning:
“Pop-Tarts Carnage Liquid Death strawberry toaster pastry flavored iced tea” have got to be the most American words ever written
May reads 📚💙 I loved Hiroshima in the morning. The Correspondent is a masterpiece. Great to have a new Lindy West book. And The Sisters, The Mires, The Complex, and American Han were all solid fiction reads
Feeling personally victimized by internet videos that made me believe gnocchi by scratch was easy (Focaccia turned out great, though!)
April was a busy month, but squeezed in some good books nonetheless 📚💙
9 books in March, and I continue to get deep into nonfiction about anything and everything. Favorites were probably Motherland (A Feminist History of Modern Russia) and When it All Burns 💙📚
Reading won’t fix the world, but it can help us understand it and bring a little bit of joy. 9 books in February, enjoyed them all. Favorites were probably The Wild Dark, Buckeye, and Wuthering Heights 📚💙
Started off 2026 with 9 books, almost all nonfiction, and I really loved most of them 📚💙
I read 105 #books this year! And lots of really, really great ones. Here’s a 🧵of some of my favorites (roughly categorized)💙📚
A busy month of November reads 📚💙 I especially loved Misinterpretation, Martyr!, and When the Cranes Fly South (😭 alert for that last one, though). Careless People and On Muscle were great nonfiction reads
11 years ago my friends and I reached the Gulf of Mexico, 77 days after leaving Lake Itasca in northern Minnesota in a canoe. I had barely been in a canoe before we started that trip. We met incredible people along the way, and it was at times the most free I have ever felt. #adventure #canoe
Busy reading month in October. Mostly good, especially (and pleasantly) surprised by Lonely Crowds, I who have never known men, and Everything is Tuberculosis 📚💙
One of those epic desert sunsets tonight, to remind me I really do love this place
This beautiful guy just landed in the tree branch outside my window with dinner (bad picture through the window screen)
Someone gifted me this book a while back, and I’ve recently returned to it. The prompts—each provided with additional text by a different writer or artist—are beautiful and useful and have helped to pull me out of some big slumps💙📚
