Day four of #riotgrams is notebooks. I've got my billet journal, my regular journal, notebooks for WIPs, and the reading log I've kept since 2003.

Day three of #riot grams is how I read. Generally, it's like this, back on the floor or on a bolster, with cats around me.

I planned on saving this to open Christmas Eve, but I had a crappy day at work & this was on the door when I got home. So do I open it now to make myself feel better or wait?

Julsmarshall Now 😄 but then I'm not very patient 😂 8y
