New habits vlog: Editing, consistency, and annotating books Mollie Reads 2024-09-27 | New cozy work week in my life vlog (very chatty!) about new habits, consistency, editing and freelancing, and how I annotate my books!↓ INFO ↓ ☀️ In this work week in my life vlog, I share about what I've learned from James Clear in Atomic Habits, the habit of consistency, and how I try to create systems and rhythms that support my goal of "1% better every day." I also start annotating my new Chicago Manual of Style, 18th edition, and I annotate books on my nightstand! This week I am working on a blog post on all of my most anticipated books of 2025, and I share a few of those books here. From talk about style sheets and what makes a good editor to annotating my books and updates on our kitchen cabinets, I get chatty about life lately!My blog site: molliereads.comWork with me: molliereads.com/contact-us*Affiliate links are below, which means I'll receive a commission if you purchase through my links—at no extra cost to you.

The Reader Diaries no. 2: The Ocean at the End of the Lane Mollie Reads 2018-03-03 | [Open me!]Yes, I'm a twin, and that is my twin sister with me in a home video! :) I'm in the Belle shirt, obviously. Thanks for watching episode no. 2 in The Reader Diaries series.This video is dedicated to The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman. Below are the quotes taken from this book—either used directly or indirectly:“I saw the world I had walked since my birth and I understood how fragile it was, that the reality was a thin layer of icing on a great dark birthday cake writhing with grubs and nightmares and hunger.” "Memories were waiting at the edges of things."“Adults should not weep, I knew. They did not have mothers who would comfort them.” “How can you be happy in this world? You have a hole in your heart. You have a gateway inside you to lands beyond the world you know. They will call you, as you grow. There can never be a time when you forget them, when you are not, in your heart, questing after something you cannot have, something you cannot even properly imagine, the lack of which will spoil your sleep and your day and your life, until you close your eyes for the final time, until your loved ones give you poison and sell you to anatomy, and even then you will die with a hole inside you, and you will wail and curse at a life ill-lived.”“Oh, monsters are scared," said Lettie. "That's why they're monsters.” +++Music:Axletree — Later Fruitshttp://freemusicarchive.org/music/Axletree/Stone_EP/Axletree_-_01_-_Later_Fruits+++Let's be friends!Contact: hello@molliereads.comInstagram & Twitter: @molliereadsBlog: molliereads.comGoodreads: goodreads.com/molliereads
