Week 31 Links I Love: Year 2025

Last Sunday, I had my first look at Paris Every Day. (you can see the video) The first copies of my first book arrived at my doorstep. My sweet neighbors held on to the books while I was traveling. I wrote about the process of writing my first book here. The DM that changed everything and the support system that carried me through the whole process.

This week was all about getting back in the groove, hitting the gym/pilates, getting a hair color/bang trim, getting a manicure/ facial, and making a trip to the dentist. Also, the IKEA cabinets I ordered were delivered and assembled. My sister is in town this weekend, and I’m thrilled to have her here. She brought Henri this adorable croissant toy.

In my recent Instagram post, I asked for your favorite independent bookshops. I was so overwhelmed at the amazing suggestions in your local cities. They have been noted down and sent to my publisher. We appreciate it so much.

One of our local bookshops, Slant of Light Books, is celebrating its first birthday. I recently did a book event with them for Bastille Day. Jess, the owner, and her staff are just the sweetest. If you are in Chicago, pop by to say hello and pick up a book to help her celebrate.

Grab your coffee and croissants, and join me for links I love.
