What started as a book blog in 2019 has now morphed into an Instagram community built around those small, simple moments in life. My work is meant to capture the details of life and travel, like a half-drank cup of coffee at a cafe, a flock of birds at the beach, or reading the last few pages of a good book at sunset.
Whether I'm telling this story through photography, video, or Patreon write-ups, I focus on the truth and authenticity of my experiences at home and on the go.

I see your Call Me By Your Name and raise you The Safekeep. Holy hell this book has absolutely taken my heart by storm. I’m about 70% of the way through and I refuse to put it down. I’m literally walking around my house with my phone in my hand because I need to be listening to it at all times. I did not expect to love this as much as I have and I cannot wait for more folks to read it. It’s out 5.28, so put it on your wishlist immediately. If you love the sensualness of Land of Milk and Honey or the creeping feeling of Killing Eve, this one’s for you.
Absolutely obsessed with this antique oil painting of a dog we found the other day. We brought it home and realized we had a perfectly sized hole in our little gallery corner, so it was most definitely meant to be.
You asked for a deep dive on ordering and, well, be careful what you ask for I guess, because this 5 minute video is only part 1! Hopefully this is helpful, but please continue to drop your questions in the comments!
5 books coming out in May that I’ve already read and love and 7 more that I can’t wait to get my hands on. What books are you most excited about this month?
The hangover is strong, so I wrote a whole post of The Familiar recs, but these two just looked so good together so they had to get a spotlight on the feed. If you’re interested in reading about 11 other books I would recommend reading in your post-Familiar slump, head to my link in bio to read the full post on @bindery_books.

First flowers of the year thanks to @sojourn_abide and Independent Bookstore Day. Y’all, yesterday was absolutely insane. It was our first IBD in our full location and we didn’t quite know what to expect. I set what I felt like was a reasonable goal based on previous IBDs and you all blew that out of the water… like we’re talking 4x, friends. It was such a happy day and even though I was dead on my feet come 9pm, I already can’t wait til next year.
Bookish Take: Pretty End Pages > Sprayed Edges I was not planning on buying The Familiar because I have both the ARC and the audiobook, but those pomegranate end pages absolutely got me. I love special editions as much as the rest of you, but sometimes all a book needs is just some pretty end papers–especially since those fancy sprayed edge editions drive prices up and are an overall headache for us booksellers. I still love them, but they’ve sent me into a bookstore-wide panic on release date multiple times.
