I too have dropped books in the bath. 😬 also I watched All the Light We Cannot See and we totally compelled. I loved the book and overall appreciated the cinematic version. I have thoughts but I don’t want to give spoilers to any readers who haven’t seen it.
1—I love the moody fog of fall and winter, but I also welcome the occasional bright blue days we get here in Oregon.
2—I'm more podcasts than audiobooks, but I love both. Everything Sad is Untrue and All My Knotted Up Life were great listens; I love when authors narrate their own books. Surrender by Bono was surprising...long and a lot of music industry stuff, but very good and well produced.
3—I'm mostly non-fiction. I love to underline and write in the margins, but I use book darts instead of dog-ears. Dog-earring crosses a line ; )
4—yes to sketchbooks in church for small kids! I use an art journal (loosely termed) in a similar way. My sketching is embarrassing. But we always used nature journals on our walks when the kids were little. Those are treasures.
5—not a big tv/movie person but my daughter told me about All the Light and I look forward to seeing it.

I’m the same with all the inside lights and the blinds on! Gotta have as much light as possible as early as possible :)
First of all…bahahaha “running away”!
I am a complete fan of On Being and love fellow Canadian, Kate Bowler.
I’m happy to see your five things were more than five things:)
Loved this and felt myself missing along to so much!! Your pictures are stunning too!
Great list of beautiful things!

Bigger Speed Bumps Please. I should have skipped the section about chocolate and salsa and dog eared books. Oh. My. Goodness.
But this is an excellent list of Five Things. I do approve of your math.
You’re a Florida-born, now I get it why you prefer the summer over the winter, I can do relate!!!
Lovely seeing your sketches and I really love the colours of the one with the fields and red leaves.
