Caption

First day! I was so excited about this last night I almost just started going at the books. I probably should have baked those cookies then. 📚🍪 Coincidentally, I can’t find my cookbook with the cookie recipe I need but yay for the internet, right?!

Video transcript

It is 4:30, a little past 4:30 on Thursday, March 1st and I’m excited to start this project. I kinda forgot that I was supposed to bake cookies for an event today so I’m going to do that this morning. And in the time that it takes to bake the cookies, which is about ten minutes, I’m probably going to start pulling off the non-book items from the shelf but I’m excited!

Retrospective

I posted that first video at 4:30 am and here I am reposting it at 4:30 am! I must have been excited to record a whole video to start. I’ve gone back and forth on video creation and posting for projects and I’ve usually concluded to focus on publishing writing.

Seeing what’s on the shelf at the time makes me think of the context someone may need to know if you want them to be impressed by your book display. Do all these books represent what you like and agree with? Do they represent your practical life (like a variety of books for research or textbooks for school or children’s books to read to children or cookbooks because you cook)? Do they represent your shopping habits? Your desire and need to keep everything?

Funny that the first caption included my ghost of a cookie cookbook (bakebook?). Five years later and I still rarely know exactly where it is. It’s often lost and it’s tattered as can be. I’ll probably get to this later but a tattered cookbook has been a joy for me to behold and I haven’t decided how to declutter those just yet.
