Books I’ve Loved

Still Life by Sarah WinmanThis one felt like sitting at a long wooden table with friends—messy, tender, and full of life. It’s about found family, art, memory, and all the strange little moments that make up a full life. I didn’t want it to end.
The Kitchen Front by Jennifer RyanI loved this one for how comforting it felt—like an old radio broadcast you’d listen to while baking bread. Set during WWII, it follows four women competing in a cooking contest with rationed ingredients. It’s warm, empowering, and full of recipes I actually wanted to try.
Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall KimmererThis one is slower—but in the best way. It’s a gentle, wise book about plants, science, storytelling, and the relationship between people and the natural world. I read it in little bits, usually outside, and it made me see things differently.
Miss Buncle’s Book by D.E. StevensonIf you’re ever in the mood for something light and charming, this one is like a cozy blanket. It’s about a quiet woman who writes a book under a pen name—and the small-town chaos that follows. It’s witty and wholesome, the perfect slow Sunday read.
