I loved this cozy piece from you...I always get such cool mental images with your writings. The best part for me was the Japanese kitty snowmen...snowcats? and the photos of them...I live in a place where it never snows unfortunately...I sure do miss New York and Chicago! Love the black kitty in snow picture too...thank you for this,Caitlyn; Happy New Year to you!

I Always enjoy your recs but would ask maybe you start linking to bookstores instead of Amazon? Amazon workers have been striking for better wages and working conditions and it feels a little weird to promote Amazon

Such a cosy read! I'm currently listening to Jane Eyre. 🥰 Enjoyed perusing the links as well. Fun things.

I really can't tell my happiness after reading this we have so much in common like chess on chess.com watching the sopranos queens gambit. Can I ask where you watched twin peaks (that would be great if you can provide link ) Thank you

Love the way you describe winter at the beginning of the essay.

Bummed to see Amazon linked so many times, especially in a piece that’s about rest and slowing down. Unless you truly are in a place of needing to save a few dollars (I have been there!) or unable to physically get to a store, remember that their prices and speed come at great human cost.
