Read a book as part of a buddy read - June 22, 2025 - Book 4 of the Murderbot Diaries picks up immediately from book 3 and is action-packed. This is the first time in the series that I felt the story was well rounded. I enjoy the witty repertoire Murderbot has with itself and in interactions with others.

There’s something sacred about a rainy day with nowhere to be.
A warm drink in hand. A cozy blanket. And a stack of books that feel like home.

Today’s blog post is a soft ode to the stories I turn to when the sky gets heavy and all I want to do is sink into something beautiful. Fiction, nonfiction, and a few forever favorites that hit just right when the rain starts to fall.

Spring is on its way, but it’s raining outside—perfect weather to dive into a bit of travel reading. Here’s a memory from October 2011 in Glacier National Park (Montana, USA): solitude, shifting light, and wide-open spaces. I’ve gathered a few thoughts and images on the blog.
