Hello, hello! I’ve been absent for a few months because SOOO much has been going on. I’ve definitely been spending a lot of time processing all the latest developments in the country and in the world. I hope you’re staying safe, healthy and sane through all the ups and downs. First, I’m posting an image… Read more »
I can’t believe we’re in the last stretch of summer. I’m still getting mosquito bites and craving ice-cold lemonade, so it doesn’t feel like summer’s over. Say it ain’t so!!

When I first launched this website a few months ago, I promised myself that I’d post at least once a week. Well, three months into this endeavor, I’ve already been absent for an entire month.

It’s been raining SO much here! California needs the rain, but it’s been weeks of constant downpour. And while out on a walk with Sherwin in the neighborhood, we came across this toppled tree 😢 Nobody was hurt (except for the majestic tree), but two parked cars at the corner construction site were crushed. Be safe out there, everyone! #rainyday #whereisthesun #tree
A friend shopping at @powellsbooks in Oregon sent me this cool pic of a customer (aka her boyfriend 😁) checking out The Paper Kingdom. Remember to shop local and at independent bookstores this holiday season (and whenever possible!). They’re such a valuable resource for the community ❤️ #indiebookstore #powellsbooks #shoplocal #authorsofinstagram
