my little corner of the internet
Hi, I’m Alyssa
This is where I check in like an old friend — about the books I’m reading, the dogs curled at my feet, and all the small, beautiful things that make an ordinary day feel like enough.
About Me
A homebody with a soft spot for adventure
I’m 45 and living in Cleveland, Ohio. I’m child-free by choice, an avid reader who leans toward literary and historical fiction, and I’ve read every single day for more than two years now. Mostly I’m a homebody — but I never say no to a little adventure when it comes knocking.
Meet the Dogs
Roscoe & Bonnie
My two rescue dogs, Roscoe and Bonnie, are the heartbeat of this house. They’re the reason a quiet morning feels full and a long day feels lighter. Wherever I am, they’re never far — usually underfoot, always up for a nap, and endlessly, ridiculously loved.
What I’m Into
The small things that fill my days
Reading
Every day, without fail. Literary and historical fiction are my happy place, and I’ve kept a daily reading streak for over two years.
35mm Film Photography
Once a professional, now purely for the joy of it. There’s something magical about shooting on film.
Journaling
A new habit I’ve fallen head over heels for. It’s become a quiet, grounding part of my days.
Birdwatching
Putting a bird feeder in my kitchen window was the best idea! Turns out birds are endlessly fascinating.
Comfort TV
Schitt’s Creek and The Great British Bake Off on repeat. Always.
On My Shelf
Come see what I’m reading
My reading life spills into everything here — the books that kept me up too late, the ones I couldn’t stop talking about, and the quiet favorites I return to again and again. Follow along on the blog and pull up a chair.
Let’s Connect
Stay a while
Wander through the blog for the things I’m loving and doing — the reading, the baking, the photos, and the little corners of everyday life. I’m so glad you’re here.
