    Call Me By Your Name – Andre Aciman

    The thing with this book is that Elio’s thought pattern is so familiar that it is a bit of a putting. I have never found myself looking at my behavior with such a mirror. Being able to read about thought…

    The Song of Achilles – Madeline Miller

    “I will never leave him. It will be this, always, for as long as he will let me.” My decision to buy this may have been a combination of seeing a lot of people reading this book paired with my…

    Before the coffee gets cold – Toshikazu Kawaguchi

    A Little Life – Hanya Yanagihara

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.
