Book of the day! “Entangled Life” by Merlin Sheldrake. This is a personal favorite of mine. It’s an amazing exploration into the the world of mycology and they way fungi effect our everyday lives. Well worth the read! (Fun fact, his brother Cosmo makes great music and they made a song by recording the electrical impulses passing through oyster mushrooms.)

Today’s Book of the Day is Meditations, written by Marcus Aurelius from 161 to 180. Marcus Aurelius was a Roman emperor from 161 to 180 AD and a Stoic philosopher. He was a member of the Nerva–Antonine dynasty, the last of the Five Good Emperors (the others were Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, Antoninus Pius), and the last emperor of the Pax Romana, an age of relative peace, calm, and stability for the…

Book Recommendation : JAPAN JOURNEYS
Unlike today where you can post countless travel photos on social media for all to see, in Edo Period Japan, people share pictures of beautiful travel destinations via woodblock art.
After years of civil wars and restrictions on individual mobility, travel became a popular leisure activity in Japan, thanks to the development of a network of well built and fairly safe roads.
Like today, traveling provides opportunities to experience culinary and cultural specialties. This enjoyment was reflected vividly in woodblock prints for those who did not get to travel.
These prints were sold or displayed at marketplaces or festivals where people get to see beautiful sceneries of places they had never been to before, which encouraged more to travel.
The historic views of Japan have been preserved over the generations, offering a fascinating perspective on familiar locations for tourists both domestic and foreign today.
In this book, art historian, Andreas Marks, has gathered a selection of detailed woodblock prints depicting scenic spots and cultural icons that still delight visitors today in Japan.
You’ll see what places like Kyoto, Osaka and Tokyo looked like in the 19th century. And you’ll be surprised to see how the temples and castles look the same but not the background.
Buildings and architectures that have withstood the test of time, being rebuilt or preserved from Edo Period till today, which makes Japan one of the most unique travel destinations.
A pleasant read for travel and Japan enthusiasts who love photography and art. As each woodblock print has a story of its own through the eyes of the Japanese artists.

coffee of the day & current read ✨
I had to get my first sugar cookie iced latte of the season this morning! It was just as delicious as I remembered them being.
Avon Books approved me for an ARC of The Fiancée Farce by Alexandria Bellefleur earlier this week. I couldn’t help but start it right away! I did not expect to receive an early copy but I’m currently obsessed 😍

Book of the day! “Soil” by Camille T. Dungy. This is my current read! This book is about how when the author, a poet, moved to Fort Collins, there were restrictions on what you could grow in your yard. The book follows her journey to change the rules and her life through diversity. Amazing read 🌻
