pickAs I tried to finish the tagged, my final read of 2025, I fell asleep with my head on my book. My husband asked, “Did you drool?” (I did… but not on my “pillow”). This anecdote is a placeholder for the whole year. I‘ve been exhausted. In 2026, I want to rest more. I want to focus on sleep, on getting that Good Sleep, so I can be more awake.
Reading goals: read about sleep.
Doing goals: sleep, dream, wake.

monalyisha 1/2: Falling asleep on my book is not a commentary on the book itself. It‘s *lovely.* One of my favorites this year. Sarton‘s journal entries are about solitude — the pursuit of, delight in, and suffering from — while living in a farmhouse in NH. By the end, she is looking towards a big move to coastal Maine. 2w
monalyisha 2/2: If it‘s any indication of how much I loved it, I already have the following journal, The House by the Sea, on order. Despite her rages (which aren‘t a particular vice of mine), she feels kindred — which is always such a relief. 2w
JamieArc I really loved this one as well (surprise surprise), but I had forgotten about the following journal. Happy New Year, friend. Here‘s to good rest and good sleep 🛌 🍻 2w
