“Women have minds and souls as well as just hear

“Women have minds and souls as well as just hearts, and they’ve got ambition and talent as well as just beauty. And I’m sick of people saying love is all a woman is fit for.”.

Who else fell head over heels for Little Women (2019)? At first, I was luke warm about the film, but the more I thought about it and the more time I spent reading the screenplay, the more I appreciated the film’s beauty to the point where I could talk about my favorite scenes for hours.

Yes, I have not read the novel, yet. The copy I have is over 800 pages, so it intimidates me! But, I do want to get to it soon because autumn and winter remind me so much of the film and it seems like the perfect time to pick it up.

But, I’d love to hear from those who read the novel and saw the film: which do you prefer? And, if you’ve only seen the film: who’s your favorite character?

10 / 16 : D i a r y E n t r y
Due to my chronic illness flaring up the moment I feel an ounce of stress/anxiety, I’m trying to take life at a slower pace while I still try to figure out how to live my new life with this illness that rears its ugly head whenever it pleases.

So, I’m going to try doing daily, digital journal entries (thanks to @bookswithchloe for the inspiration). I’m also going to try and go outside more to enjoy the beauty of nature in autumn, like I did yesterday. Feeling the crisp autumn breeze, hearing dogs bark, and having the sun rays on my skin really helped me feel a bit better, inside.

I’m also want to take my time through life to care for myself mentally and physically, because, as it turns out, they’re so closely linked that they can negatively affect the other, if they aren’t cared for.

Sometimes that will look like doing yoga and taking my medicine, and other times it’ll be watching Little Women (2019) to cry over how much I relate to Jo and love Laurie. I swear, after reading the screenplay for @littlewomenmovie , my appreciation and deep love for it has grown exponentially, and now I could look at a glass of water and think, “Jo drinks water too,” *sobs*.

How are you handling this year?

“Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.”.
– Albert Camus

Some things that I’ve been loving this Autumn:
• Reading a ton of dark academia novels
• Rewatching Over the Garden Wall
• Pumpkin Spice Fraps
• Rainy mornings
• Wearing dark lipstick

What are you doing to get into the autumnal spirit? I know it’s difficult to make it feel like autumn while at home, but I’m trying to make the most of it!

A D i g i t a l B o o k C l u b

My friends and I made a very low key book club, and our first read for September was The City of Brass! We discussed what we thought about it over on @google hangouts and ended up chatting about life for 4 HOURS.

I’m so glad we were able to do this together because not only was this a great way to read a book together, but it also gave us some well-needed social interaction while we all are avoiding going outside as much as possible.

Have you ever been apart of a book club? Did you have any traditions that made it unique?

Do you set reading goals?

This year, I didn’t set a reading goal of any kind, and it’s been so freeing. I read only when I’m inspired to, and I don’t when I’m feeling slumpy. No number I have to hit looms over my head, and it’s made my reading experience so much more relaxing!

I also want to share this one quote I found from Tumblr that really resonated with me.

USER: Bvkspine
the amount of books you consume is not an appraisal of your worth as a reader nor should it be a criterion for any type of hierarchal separation among people who love reading.

Two of my favorite things: Autumn + House Plants 🌿🍂☕️.

While stuck at home, I took up digital art as a little hobby. It’s the one time my brain shuts off and I can focus on drawing for hours without feeling distracted or anxious.

So, I drew a pumpkin spice coffee print to celebrate my favorite time of the year & a little house plant art piece for all of my plants around my house (you may recognize Lauren Bacall there!).

The prints are out on my shop now!
US + PR shipping only.

I’m really happy to have found a hobby that calms me down and makes me so happy! Did any of you start a new hobby while stuck at home?

Autumn reads and autumn leaves

AD // I'm so happy to be able to work with @simonteen to celebrate today’s release of All This Time, written by @mikkidaughtry and @rachaellippincott, the authors behind Five Feet Apart!

This YA novel takes place after high school when Kyle, grieving the loss of someone close to him, meets Marley who's going through her own grieving process as well. Together they form a connection with one another through their shared grief, but Kyle can't shake the idea that his world will fall apart again... until it does. Can you find true love after losing everything?

I'm a big fan of novels that explore grief and the heavy emotions that come along with it, especially during fall when I most want to read heavier contemporaries to match the gloominess of the season. And if you feel the same way, All This Time, is right up your alley!

Are you a fan of hard-hitting, emotional reads?

- an old snapshot of my bookshelf -

Here are some bookish questions and answers for you. Feel free to answer one or all of them in the comments!

• How do you organize your shelves?
I loosely organize my shelves by genre + author’s last name

• What are you currently reading?
I’m reading Catherine House by Elisabeth Thomas — a dark academia— physically
The Girls in the Picture by Melanie Benjamin— a historical fiction centered around Old Hollywood— on audiobook

• Do you prefer short books or long books?
I always say no book needs to be over 300 pages, and I’ll stand by that sentiment forever.

Where do you read the most?
I read in my living room, most of the time! I usually have the TV on in the background because I like having some noise while I read.

“And the sun took a step back, the leaves lulled themselves to sleep and autumn was awakened.”.
– Raquel Franco

What are you looking forward to most during autumn?

For me, it’s gloomy mornings, rainy days, burning autumnal scented candles, wearing my combat boots, putting on cozy turtlenecks, chilly afternoons, watching Halloween movies, playing Clue with friends, and simply feeling happiest during my favorite season.
