Currently reading: The Imposition of Unnecessary Obstacles by Malka Older 📚

Finished reading: The Anxious Person’s Guide to Non-Monogamy by Lola Phoenix 📚

If there was a book for me right now, it is this. Loving and emphatetic, sometimes hard to follow but definitely worth a read

Finished reading: The Mimicking of Known Successes by Malka Older 📚

Steps to make a cozy detective mystery interesting:

1) make setting interesting, say, human colony on platforms between the rings of Jupiter ✅

2) make me care about the characters. Even better, make them lovable and to have shared sexual tension ✅

Mission accomplished

A bag of potato chips. Label says – and sadly the label is correct – ”dill pickle” taste.

Happy fountain pen day to everyone!

Empty page of a draft book. One Pilot Parallel, one Kaweco Sport and four Lamy Safari’s (one of them is really AL-star)

It is wet, gray, and warm in Helsinki. Capturing the beauty of it is hard but not impossible

View out of my kitchen/living room window. The faint light coming from streetlights show glimpses of my furniture. Street lights peek through fog they were old stars
