I would totally go to a silent reading event. It sounds like one extra adult hobby to add to the list. Im also really into the jigsaw puzzles from Magic Puzzle Company right now.

The American Girl Magazine post reminded me of the Valentine’s Day party I begged my mom to have after reading about it in the magazine. Despite not having a lot of extra time or money, she agreed, and we included almost every idea from the article. Even though I had a lot of fun birthdays, this was by far the best party I ever had. Thanks for sending me on a trip down memory lane this morning! 😊

Those are incredible thrifting scores. And I'm a broken record, but I'm on the waitlist for Audition at the library...

I just read your Big Beautiful Life review ( I have it on my holds lol) but I’m now sad it’s gonna feel short for me too 😩

I've read some reviews of folks who really loved it, though! I think if you go in knowing it's a little different than her usual, it helps - and I hope you like it!

I didn't know there was a Montecristo adaptation with 💕 Sam Claflin 💕!

I loved the Jetty, I didn't expect anything but the topic was super interesting and it was so well-done, gotta love those british drama-thrillers.

LOL at the innie gym joke 🤣

Your substack is such fun way to start my Fridays. I'm day dreaming about visiting Japan and will dive into the Trader Joes recs before I head there next.
