Most of my reading happens on my Kindle or through Libby these days. But my office desk has its own little collection, the books I like to flip through from time to time. Manga, illustration, sketchbooks, that kind of thing. Just the fun stuff I can pick up for five minutes and put back down. 📚😊
A few weeks ago I won a book giveaway on Goodreads, and this morning it finally showed up at the door. The timing couldn’t have been better because I was flying to California this afternoon. I ended up spending the whole flight reading The Typing Lady by Ruth Ozeki and got through about half of it before we landed. 📚 I love it so far. I can’t wait to finish it!
Here are a few of the bookmarks I use. My favorites right now are the Hong Kong MTR card that I got around 1989 and the train ticket I got last year. Good memories!
I just grabbed book four of Becky Chambers’ Wayfarers series from the library. These books are amazing – I highly recommend them!
Here’s my 2025 list of books I’ve read and movies I’ve watched, with my rating of how much I liked it in parentheses (out of 10).

Today, I picked up A Closed and Common Orbit from the library. It’s the second book in Becky Chambers’ Wayfarers series. I absolutely loved the first book, so I’m excited to dive back into this universe. Plus, it’ll be a nice change of pace to read from a physical book instead of a screen!
