    The American Roommate experience – Elena Armas

    We all buy books for our own reasons. Because the cover is pretty because we like the author because our bestie recommended it or because it feels right.  With this one, I bought it because I did not want to…

    A Little Life – Hanya Yanagihara

    The effect this book has can only be described as such. When I normally say something makes me cry I shed a few tears, or I am crying full on but in the same way we laugh because of a…

    Where She Went – Gayle Forman

    Ugly Love – Colleen Hoover

    The Love Hypothesis – Ali Hazelwood

    If I was an author I do not think I would write about academia. Academia is actually quite boring, don’t get me wrong it is the best thing in the world. Learning new things is absolutely amazing, yet doing academia…

About this blog

This blog first started in 2014, born from a quiet wish to collect thoughts and share the small things that make life feel full.

You’ll find reflections here, scattered like petals, books that linger, rituals that soothe, a flicker of candlelight on a rainy evening. It’s not about trends but about the things that grow quietly.

If you’re someone who pauses to notice the soft edges of things, this space is for you.
