Sea of Tranquility - Emily St. John Mandel

I read this one because I was told station eleven was good, but was more interested by the description of this book. Now that I know I like the authors writing though I’ll be checking station eleven out soon. In Sea of Tranquility, you read a story that spans centuries, from the early 1900s, to the future spacefaring days. There’s something that ties these timelines together, and I was hooked from start to finish.

Station eleven by emily st. John mandel

A master at writing genre fiction as literary fiction. Multiple narratives, stellar characters, a time-hopping, pre- and post-apocalyptic plot, and a killer miniseries adaptation to watch once you’re finished

emily st john and erin morgenstern

i’ve heard emily st john‘s work described as “hauntingly lyrical” which is a perfect assessment. station 11 blew me away every time i read it (written in like 2018 about a worldwide pandemic. rereading after covid was an insane experience). her three most recent works tie together very faintly which is so satisfying as a fan, but not necessary at all to enjoy any of them. erin morgenstern is absolutely wonderful. magical, mystical, an adult perspective on childlike wonder. or maybe a childlike perspective on adult hardships. the starless sea is my favorite book of all time. a story about stories, secret worlds, and the undercurrent of life they have. a very mature take on whimsy

drinking from hand crafted cups

something about sipping a coffee or tea from a hand crafted ceramic mug makes me appreciate the experience far more than from a to-go cup or ikea mug. it allows me to be more present in those sacred moments - each sip, my lips coming in contact with time that an artist put into their passion. morning coffee in a mug by shino takeda-

Requesting your doctor prescribe a seaside getaway

why has the medical society done away with this? my zoloft can only do so much to my brain chemistry that an escape to the ocean can - a complete immersion into the sounds of the sea sounds and my skewed psyche. doctors and medical professionals feel free to weigh in. persona (dir. ingmar bergman, 1966)
