| loving this memoir so far... |
This week has started off in a rainy and contemplative way. I've been nursing copious cups of coffee and culling my BookTube feed to keep me connected to creators that aren't overly loud, and I pretty much avoid videos with lots of jump cuts. I like having a curated YouTube feed.
How to Say Babylon by Safiya Sinclair has started off very strong. I love Safiya's voice as she describes her parents origin stories. This set up is very much grounded in fact, but the emotional thread of the story is very strong. I absolutely love this.

I've been taking to making decafs in the early afternoon because I start my morning strong with espressos and reading The Letters of Gustave Flaubert (you can access them free in the public domain here) in the NYRB edition.
"For me I can imagine nothing in the world preferable to a nice, well-heated room, with the books one loves and the leisure one wants."
"Think only of Art, of that and that alone, because that's all there is. "

Wishing you a well-curated YouTube feed, lots of hot cappuccinos with oatmilk, and a peaceful end to your Wednesday.
Happy reading ☕️
