I recently found a thrifted copy of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, and it feels like the perfect way to finally start reading Mark Twain. I’ve always meant to read him someday. I’m also a huge Gilmore Girls fan, and I remember Rory mentioning Huck Finn in her Chilton valedictorian speech, something about that always stayed with me.

For those of you who already love Twain: what would you want to say to someone just beginning his work? Which of his books is your favorite, and what is it about his writing that keeps you coming back to him?

I’d love to hear what people cherish most about Twain before I begin this little journey myself.

Being between hobbies is just your room collecting side quests and weird little artifacts from every personality you’ve tried on lately.

it feels like the kind of love that stops being a person and becomes part of the landscape of your life; in the light, in the wind, in every ordinary thing you touch afterward.

which animal should I try to make next?

When I began this Batman piece for my boyfriend, I knew nothing of Gotham. But somewhere between the stitches, the unpicking of mistakes, the detangling of knots, and the playful theft of threads by my doggos, I found myself booking a one-way ticket into that world. The process became its own quiet adventure, equal parts patience, undoing, and joy.

I have always yearned to visit the places I first encountered in books, to see them with my own eyes, as if imagination alone were not enough. Proust writes so beautifully about this longing, giving voice to thoughts that feel almost too intimate to explain.

Someday, I hope to walk through Combray with the quiet feeling that I have already been there before.
