reading habits, audio vs ebook vs physical copy, arcs

Modern Ajumma 2024-12-10 | Hi hey there hello thank you for watching my video and hanging out with me today. What are your preferences and reading habits? Do you ask for Advanced Reader Copies?? I personally feel bad asking for one as I'm constantly asking for so many - from my local library! And it's already such a struggle juggling them all.

what do you idealize/romanticize?

Modern Ajumma 2024-12-08 | Hi hey there hello thank you for watching my (short) video today. What did you grow up idealizing/what do you currently romanticize?

Seeing my stamp drawers made me miss journaling - it's been a few days and I love nothing more than when I'm not busy and have loads of time playing with my stamps and stickers and record keeping my little life. I'll definitely go over it more in future vlogmas vids!
