Summer ‘26 🍒

Staying indoor when it’s too hot, reading Nana with these beautiful anniversary editions, taking walks by the sea, playing cozy videogames, listening to my favourite music, wearing mostly red clothes

July 2026

Seems like this year I’m finally finding again some decent reading habits, and I’m trying to stick with it by journaling and updating this cute booklog I have in the final pages of my 2026 planner.

Jean Rhys, Wide Sargasso Sea, first edition (1966)

This past weekend I visited Oxford and in this bookshop called St. Philips Books, just across from Christ Church College, I found this beautiful first edition of one of my favourite books, with the illustrated dust jacket in excellent conditions 🌺
