March 2025 wrap-up | Saatchi Gallery, my flower obsession, and a reading update

Notes from my journal, pictures from the Saatchi Gallery, books I read this month, and more

Hello, book friends! I’m so excited to introduce monthly wrap-ups, an exclusive perk for my paid subscribers, who also get full access to my archive, book club questions, author deep dives, and more.

This month’s edition includes:

• Notes from my journal (with pictures from the Saatchi Gallery, flower-pressing fails, and life updates).

• My March reading wrap-up.

• Sneak peeks for April.

These wrap-ups are fluid, and I’d love to know what else you’d like to see in the future!

In the meantime, let’s dive into my wrap-up for March 2025.

Notes from my journal

Some things I did

• Visited the Flowers: Flora In Contemporary Art & Culture exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery with a friend. I tried pressing a flower for this friend recently and it went very wrong, as they keep reminding me. I’m glad we got to see prettier flowers here, and fell in love with a pair of peony prints. They are by different photographers, but go so well as a pair. I love the juxtaposition of nature amidst human trash; more so, I appreciate the reminder that beauty and what we think of as waste can co-exist.
