notes on shares list, 2025 - list of items including amazon and other affiliates (see here)
- 01/18/25 - books: every summer after (fortune)- note 01/18/25, 3.5 chapters: this is a book I started sometime last year and that I'll throw in rotation. I have the author's book that came out after this and the one that came out before this is technically in rotation as well and about 10+ chapters in. I did a mini reading pause with it to let a turning point in the story marinate and started this one. and I just checked that she has a 4th one coming out that I do plan to get - even though I don't quite know how she ends stories, but what I do know is that I enjoy her writing style and tone.
- 01/15/25 - things: sweater dress + cardigan set, brown - I love a cardigan
- 01/15/25 - things: strawberry candies - these are those nostalgia grandma candies :)
- 01/14/25 - books: the little paris bookshop (george, transl. by pare) - note 01/18/25, 13 chapters: taking a mini pause to process chapters 11 and 12. I really should have given more breathing room between the two, but it was around bedtime and I just kept going. part of my pause may be jumping back into a previous book for a chapter or two. I feel validated in doing so because the main character in this book noted that he reads books 20 at a time; ha! note 01/14/25, 1 chapter: I bought this some time back and expect a charming, feel-good book. we will see.
- 01/14/25 - things: tall planter box, black - found this from this pin here
- 01/11/25 - things: cowboy boot, black, men's/unisex - a beautiful black boot. it appears to be for men, but I was looking at this for myself actually.
- 01/11/25 - books: the mermaid from jeju (hahn) - note 01/11/25, 1 chapter: did I pick up this book because it had the word 'mermaid' in it? of course I did. however, I see that I'm in for a historical fiction treat. I am hoping for an easy read with subtle writing over raw/difficult moments (i.e. - in general, I don't like descriptions in books/movies/media that are too gut-punching)
