  1. I've been reading books based on their covers and blurbs, borrowed from the library, and have gone through more than my usual number. On a reading roll, that is.

  5. I do love the Sistine Chapel, so I'm a big fan of any exhibition that brings it closer! 'My Heart is a Chainsaw' is so high on my TBR, I can't wait to get my hands on it. I hope you enjoy the audiobook and that you have a lovely week :)

  8. We have a Paper Source right in our town; thanks for reminding me to check them out for my planner! I usually just buy their beautiful paper for my origami projects.

    The books I’ve received are all translated literature, my most beloved genre, so they don’t appeal to everyone. But one of them, Planet Clay, is on the long list for the 2021 National Book Award!
