Wow I’m sweating because I just spent at least a half hour making my second reel ever in the history of me making reels.

Galleys of Momfluenced are officially out in the world and it’s very exciting! Also reels are so hard to make and I have nothing but respect for the people who make them regularly and make them well!

Of COURSE I'm gonna mention preorders

Reading

I finally finished The Children’s Book by A.S. Byatt. It was very dense, very historically rich, and I’m still trying to figure out how I feel about it all. Really fascinating portrayals of childhood (and the myths we cherish about childhood). Also features a complicated maternal figure who is worshipped as an archetypal mother and also might be the worst mother ever? If anyone’s read it, I wanna talk about it!

Starting

This beautiful book.
