It always amuses me that I read less when I go to bookish events. But the @bookmarksnc Festival of Books and Authors was totally worth it!

September was another great month of reading, with 12 books read. I enjoyed stories of the female experience, queer identity, and more.

catalogue of joys from this week:
— a daily joy has been the crisp fall air moving in! I love mid-Atlantic falls and the thinner air replacing our humid summer air.
— walking through Georgetown holding hands with my guy is my most ideal fall afternoon activity!
— also just love spending time with my love walking through museums. He has an excitement about all the things & it’s contagious (even when I am anxious around crowds)!
— denim on denim turned fall by adding boots & a sweater vest & I think it may be my new favorite outfit.
— I finish Wasp’s Nest by Kat Stoddard in 3 days and have been loving Cat Fight by Kit Conway. I really love reading debut novels!
— my sweet angel baby of a cat, Karl, found all the time to be together this week & I love having such a lovey cat.
— I have struggled to find a red nail color I like but this red from OPI changed my mind! It is also the perfect first week of fall color.
— I loved this Giant pretzel from Billy Hick’s in Georgetown (as well as all their other food)!
— I have been playing the Wordle archive & it’s been fun to pick up more of an understanding of the game!

Taking snapshots of what brings me joy has been one of the best things I’ve done for myself this year. Giving myself a chance to reflect on what makes me content and joyful and then be grateful for it is a practice I want to keep for many years to come.

Had such a blast talking with fellow debut author @ktstddrd for the @baltimorebookfestival! Huge thanks to @snugbooksbmore for sponsoring and @redemmas for hosting! Book festivals are the best, it was a real honor to be part of this 📚(my absolute fav part of Baltimore is not pictured but he’s 7 months old, almost crawling, and not allowed on social media according to my sister 👶 ❤️)

⛓️ BOOKS I ALMOST BOUGHT 🪲

⊱ ۫ ׅ ✧ hello!! it’s been such a busy week that i’ve just straight up not had time to post. work technically isn’t in the busy season anymore / yet, but it’s about to be. that, and it’s been gross again this week?? like, stupidly humid. on the bright side: the weather is officially cooling down after today and that means hoodie season is upon us… i’m so thankful for autumn finally shoving summer to the side – it’s been a hot one.

—— [ LET’S TALK ABOUT THE BAN ]
🪲 SO, i’ve failed my book buying ban (again) and am restarting my 75 dedicated on monday the 21st of september. ban or not, i’ve always been the kind of guy who builds his tbr with every visit to a bookstore because when i go in, i take pictures of like 3 trillion books. and what’s worse is that those book pictures just sit in my camera roll and take up space forever. it’s sad but like… i’m not stopping anytime soon :D also, before i forget about it: lyb, rain, and i are doing this bookish gift exchange where we each pick out 7 books for each other – rain buys 7 books for me (jan-june) and 6 for lyb (july-dec), lyb buys 7 books for rain (jan-june) and 6 for me (july-dec), and then i buy 7 books for lyb (jan-june) and 6 for rain (july-dec). so, basically, we’re each getting a total of 13 books: one for each month of the year + one for our birthday! it’s a really cool concept and i love our little trio so much. we’ll probably post more about it over on @freakreadsbookclub.
