what do you read?
issue 64 ♡ non-fiction & coffee table stacks & substacks
dear doris. do you read? love em.
dear em,
in part I this week i have drawn the stack of books in my to-be-read pile and in part II i cover coffee table books and in part III a list of substack’s i enjoy and read regularly here.
part I.
after a much extended break from books, i am back into reading. over the last decade while having three babies, reading became a kind of luxury that i felt like i could not afford. so i have taken to leaving books in nooks around the house where they are most likely to be seen and picked up. my husband also gifted us all a very dad-gift recently — a clip on night light. i may have scoffed in his face when he began using one but now we all clip on our little rechargeable light to books before bed.
i have a stack on next to the bed waiting patiently to be picked up. this is the stack. i generally like to stack books in a colour blend. however size and weight can determine its placement within the stack. more on styling shelfie’s soon.
part II.
i use the term coffee table books loosely, as we have stacks also placed on top of the piano and on the kitchen table where you might get a little moment to open one up. place coffee table books by size and shade. the heaviest book always sits as the base and the colour of the book which suits the mood and tone of the room gets to be top dog. new coastal by
is the current coffee table topper.other coffee table books currently stacked.

Thank you so much for your kind mention!
I picked up The Four Agreements ages ago but never even cracked it open. I'm seriously inclined now that there's a new agreement and it's sitting on the top of your stack! BTW I love your art! :D
Thanks for the mention. Appreciate you!
