Hello there
About me
Bookworm, coffee drinker, collector of quiet afternoons.
I'm Rebecca — though most days I answer just as readily to "have you finished that book yet" and "is there more coffee." I started this little corner of the internet because I kept having thoughts too small for anywhere else: a color the sky turned for four minutes, a line from a novel I couldn't stop thinking about, the exact way steam looks over a mug in October.
Most of what I write about is ordinary on purpose — walks, weather, the books I return to, the coffee I make slightly wrong every morning. I've never been in a hurry to get anywhere in particular, and this site is mostly an argument for why that's alright.
If we met in person I'd probably be somewhere with a book I've read before, a drink going lukewarm beside me, entirely unbothered by either.
Little things I love
- Creaky floors in secondhand bookshops.
- The first cold cup of coffee I always forget about and drink anyway.
- Rain that arrives while the kettle is still warm.
- A pencil worn down to a stub from actual use.
- The smell of a book nobody else has opened in years.
- Leaves that land exactly where you'd have placed them yourself.
