iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Well hello, it's been a minute, hasn't it? I didn't plan to go quiet this long. It just happened. I'm not good at social media, I always knew it, and it felt nice to lean into it. So, since I don't know when I'll next feel like posting, here's a thread of things I thought of sharing and forgot to.

Books I read in March: switching genres like it's nobody's business. Special thanks to @404ink.bsky.social (the reflections on bilingualism in Speak Still will stay with me a long time), and to @orendabooks.bsky.social, because In Thin Air has to be the best thriller I've read in many months.

Books I finished in March 2026:

1) "Into Thin Air" by Orjan Karlsson: I had a hard time putting this thriller down. The short chapters all drive the plot forward in a satisfying way, and make it easy to blitz through the story. And I really warmed up to the investigation team, so it's great news that there are more books in this series.
2) "Speak Still" by Wing Lam Tong: One of those books that make me wish the author was my friend - we'd have so much to talk about. Speak Still is about bilingualism, translation, colonialism, and much more. Even though it's quite short, I enjoyed going through it slowly, considering every word with care.
3) "Rinsed" by Geoff White: because if you don't know me by now, fraud and scams are one of my rabbit holes. Watching my colleagues' jaws drop as I told them "I'm reading a book about crypto money laundering" at the company retreat was priceless. Jokes aside, though: credit to this book for making the subject matter accessible (I cannot overstate just how little I "get" crypto, but could follow along just fine), and for painting a clear (if frightening) picture of the magnitude and scale of the crimes tech money laundering facilitates.
4) "Karla's Choice" by Nick Harkaway: would you believe I never read a George Smiley novel in English? I shall be righting that wrong. Starting from the end, i.e. the most recent novel written by John Le Carré's son. It's everything I'd expect from a spy story from the original series, down to the tone of voice and '60s setting. Highly recommended for the spy novel fans out there.

One of my two favourite local bakeries is closing tomorrow, I'm in a huge queue (before they're even open) to score one last custard bun I may not get, and despite the nice things I know I have in this world, I'm in full "why can't we ever have nice things in this world" mood right now. Send cats.

February reads on @thestorygraph.com: Scams! Haunting Argentinian mysteries! Young women going through mental health breakdowns! I'm all about the joyous reads, you see. Little Bosses Everywhere is a 10/10 recommendation, if you're into MLM deep dives or getting angry about the state of the world.

Books I read in February:

1) "Little Bosses Everywhere" by Bridget Read. One of the slow-burners I started in January. An in-depth coverage of MLM culture and its ties with conservative (and eve far-right) ideology, which are, frankly, frightening. Highly recommended.
2) "The Fragility of Bodies" by Sergio Olguín. Picked up from a recommendation on Bluesky, it reminded me how much I love the subtle, eerie darkness of South-American mysteries. Not a perfect book (the protagonist is very clearly a woman written by a man, if you catch my drift), but the criminal case at the heart of it is haunting and well-developed.
3) "We Could Be Rats" by Emily Austin. I've seen few authors portray mental issues as realistically as Austin, which is absolutely a credit to her. This book was a little too disjointed in terms of narration and point of view for my taste - "Everyone In This Room Will Someday Be Dead" was far superior in terms of craft.

This crosses over with my old gripes about math: teaching quality (I had mocking teachers, curriculum-obsessed teachers and disengaged teachers, none prioritising curiosity over test scores) and that other pervasive '00s sentiment ("STEM degrees are for boys"). Probably lucky I have no time to rant.

I seem to have entered a '90s Eurodance rabbit hole. Blaming it on watching the figure skating and drinking coffee after 3pm today. BUT! The autoplay suggestions I'm getting are so spot-on, 13-year-old me might as well have recorded them herself off that long defunct local radio station she loved.

Given time, I always do the things I say I'll do. "Things" being the white chocolate & miso cookies I made for a baking club I'm going to later; "time" being easily 10 years since the first and only time I ate one before. Forget inbox zero: recipe stash zero is the challenge (it'll never happen).

Freshly baked white chocolate and miso cookies, ready to be taste tested for breakfast (spoiler: they passed the quality check and are ready to share). The recipe is Benjamin's Ebuehi's (available online, I halved the chocolate quantity and added some hazelnuts I had at home). This is only my second time eating miso cookies: the first time was at a friend's house some ten years ago, and I've been keeping an eye out for them in London bakeries ever since, but never found them anywhere. About time I took matters in my own hands. Also, with a jar of miso in the fridge, perhaps I can try something new from my savoury recipe stash soon, too.

"The boxes are lying" has to be the most perfect sentence I'll read today. And you know who's also lying? My mother, who follows the timing on the box and then insists it's still too raw. I was last summer years old when she admitted the problem is her, not me - she actually likes it overcooked.

My two foster cats, perching on the back cushion of the sofa, looking at me as if I'd just walked in on them plotting a crime (Poppy, the tabby, looks so sorely disappointed in me, that a meeting of a criminal enterprise of some kind is is probably exactly what was under way at the time. Either that, or they are mean girls reminding me I can't sit with them).

January reads on @thestorygraph.com: I'm in the middle of two slow-burners, so for now, all you get is the fast-paced mysteries I picked up when I needed breaks. The literary hardbacks I piled up over the past two years and still not started keep watching reproachfully from the shelves.

Some days it feels society is forcing people like me on one of two career paths: withering away in jobs that have no use for the things we enjoy about ourselves, or becoming LinkedIn life coaches to scam the people who are tired of withering. And come on - surely there's got to be a better option?

I never make new year resolutions, but in 2025 I tried. Turns out that starting Asako Yuzuki's Butter (yesterday) is the only one I kept. Back to a resolution-less life, then. Though maybe my goal should be learning to not bite off more than I can chew. Tricky when I want to change the path I'm on.

The cover to Asako Yuzuki's novel Butter, which I've owned for years, and promised myself I'd start in 2025. And I did. Last night.

I also had a cooking resolution I chickened out of, and some work and writing resolutions that, very predictably for me, turned out to be overambitious (or thwarted by my tendency to be my own worst enemy).

Lena the foster Calico cat watches in the background of the picture. She's had a wonderful year, and wants me to remember that I'm part of what made her life so much happier and safer than in 2024. I'll take that.

I lived and worked in Notting Hill for years without ever seeing anyone famous. My colleagues saw David Beckham around Westbourne Grove multiple times, including at a bar round the corner from the office we all often went to. A friend once served Noel Gallagher at a pub. Me? Not a single sighting.

I had a St. John mince pie at the new cafe they have inside the London Review Bookshop, and it was so good, I don't want to get mince pies from anywhere else next year (also must return with two willing companions for a sharing plate of 6 freshly baked madeleines, make it a resolution for 2026).

A mince pie with an extremely pleasing thick pastry shell, which I have cracked open to reveal the filling (perfect balance of orange, booze and dried fruit, 10/10, no notes). This beauty is at the St. John cafe inside the London Review Bookshop, and am I feeling silly about having had their baked goods on my list for several years and only tried this today? A million times yes (also, never too late, and I'm quite pleased they now have a sit-down cafe I can go to without committing to a restaurant meal).

Christmas lunch for 2 (with plenty of leftovers for the coming days): @sabrinaghayour.bsky.social's Khoresh-e Fesenjan, because we're big Persiana fans in this house, and I've wanted to try the recipe for years. With the food I've made so far, I don't regret not flying home for the holidays one bit.

Right hand side: a plate of Khoresh-e Fesenjan (Persian chicken stew with walnuts and pomegranate) from Sabrina Ghayour's Persiana, aka one of my favourite cookbooks of all time. This must have been one of the recipes I bookmarked when I first got the book (in - gasp! - 2015?), and yet, it took until this week to make it for the first time. Left hand side: a serving plate full of rice with a crispy tahdig crust, which felt like a necessity (I love that recipe so much). Christmas in my own home also means no family food traditions to stick to, and I love being able to make whatever I want (and as much of it as I want - this was the portion size we'd normally eat, and we'll still have space for a nice dinner later). 🍽️ 🍜

Merry Christmas from me and the cats, who are all set for a day of relaxing in the ways they most love (Lena: kneading on humans with razor-sharp claws; Poppy: giving Partner a heart attack by leaning too close to the TV screen). Wishing you a lovely chill day too!

This is the year I caved and bought a Christmas jumper (it is a very cute grey sweater with Snoopy dressed as Santa, driving his doghouse as if it was a sleigh, with Woodstock playing the reindeer). I did it to be able to take proper festive pictures, and this one, with Lena the calico cat on my lap, didn't disappoint.

Poppy the tabby cat sits on a speaker and leans very close to the TV screen, as if wanting to catch the snowflakes on it (the image shows Snoopy sleeping on a doghouse clad in Christmas decorations, from a YouTube Christmas background music video).

My 1st year of uni, in a hellish houseshare with 5 girls that drove me mad, one of them said she saw me as someone she could talk to about anything without fear of judgement. Also, from my Mum (who doesn't do praise): "you notice things other people don't". Still remember where and why she said it.

Today's adventure in cookbooks I rarely use: the Sfiha recipe from the first Honey & Co. book. The pastry feels like bread (love it); the filling is mushrooms, onion, leek, ricotta & cumin. Merry Christmas to whoever dumped the book at a Hampstead charity shop in May, we thank you for your service.

When in a posh London neighbourhood, always browse the cookbook section at the local charity shops. That's how I got the first Honey & Co. book (the third I have bought), while having a stroll on the high street in Hampstead where I've maybe been three times in total. I want to cook from it more, and this is the third recipe from it I'm making: a savoury tart with a homemade yeasted dough case and a filling of ricotta and vegetables spiced with cumin. A bit of a labour of love, but well worth it.

My holiday challenge is to finally use the Dishoom cookbook I got in 2023. The ingredients for this bean curry took a lot of prep, but the final dish tasted like something I'd actually want on their menu. Happy with the chapati recipe too. Next on my list: Chicken Berry Britannia (maybe next week).

Left hand side: a plate of rajma (kidney bean curry from the Dishoom cookbook). Right hand side: homemade chapati from the same book. The curry requires a couple of pastes and a tomato-onion masala I'm very glad I made in advance (LOTS of caramelising, MANY tears shed while chopping 400g of onions), and the final result made me think "hey, wait a second, this should be on the restaurant menu, why is it not on the restaurant menu"? I liked it almost more than their black dal, which is are words I never thought I'd say. Great return on the £5 I paid for the book in 2023 at a charity shop in Greenwich (serendipity! I never go to Greenwich, but my parents were visiting and I'd booked an exhibition there).

Just got reminded that I took this 11 years ago. Setting: Mum's kitchen. Medium: my first smartphone, which was awful at photos. My baker's little helper was 14 then. Going by the muffin tray, this must be when I tried making florentines to gift at Christmas (Very Not Fun thing I won't do again).

23 December 2014: a tuxedo cat (almost all black head; fluffy white neck and chest) sits on a wooden dining table next to a muffin tray lined with empty paper cases. The cat is Penny, the wonderful lady I grew up with, who was 14 at the time (she lived to the age of 18). I usually bake cookies at Christmas, so the muffin tray is an oddity I can only explain with the Great Florentine Experiment I attempted once and will never try again.

We've been hit with a flurry of deliveries this week. Poppy is having the time of her life with the boxes.

Delivery number 1: Poppy, our tabby foster cat, stands on top of a closed empty box that used to contain a guitar. Her face seems to say "yes, and?". 10/10 for unusual box shape and load-bearing capacity. Disappointingly, no opportunity to get inside before it was dismantled and disposed of.

Delivery number 2: a glass bottle arrived in a box way bigger than its contents. The box got promptly slotted in one of the square cubicles we keep our records in, because the cats love to hide there, and if we put the scale underneath the box, perhaps we can weigh them while they're inside (as the vet ordered). Poppy, pictured here inside the box inside the cubicle, promptly took the bait (10/10 for cosiness, 0/10 for treachery and deceiption). But she's the one we already weighed before. Her sister won't get inside the box, or anywhere near the scale, for love nor money. We shall keep trying.

Delivery number 3: what is this? Don't open it until I've checked it! Poppy stands on top of a newly delivered box, which looks barely capable of holding her weight, and I take her picture from the sofa, waiting for the moment it'll collapse and she'll run for her life.

Throwback to last year's pet portrait gingerbreads, because I've been racking my brain for a recipe that sounds as fun and challenging and couldn't find one. So I think there may be no Christmas baking this year, which makes me a bit sad, but knowing me, I'll change my mind by the 25th, won't I?

An extremely short horror story I wrote, set in the future.

The year is 2034. 98% of the population of the planet is employed as a life coach. All the life coaches have life coaches. Life coaches decide to redouble their efforts, going in hard to all the last remaining outposts where people exist simply as people rather than life coaches or people striving to live their best life via life coaches. “Can I be your companion on your journey to yourself and give you the life advice that will make you a proper person?” ask the life coaches. “Can you get out of my kitchen, please?” say the people. “I’ve already had six of you in here this morning, trying to tell me how I can be the ultimate version of me and unlock my true potential. I never asked for this. I just want to be able to live my most average, flawed life in peace and finish cleaning the oven.”

1) Seeing Operation Mincemeat at the theatre 2) "Someone Who Will Love You in All Your Damaged Glory" by Raphael Bob-Waksberg, which made me feel seen like few books did in my adult life, and made me want to write down all the weird short story ideas that cross my mind even if no one ever reads them

"Lovely" is just the word for this book - one of my few 5-star reads this year. It made me want to visit Japan, made me long for the skill to write my own stories of immigration and belonging, and made me wish the author and I were friends. All in a space shorter than 200 pages!

November reads on @thestorygraph.com: many hits and one miss, as I found my favourite fiction read of 2025, and trudged through a book that had very little to offer me (it's all good, I suspected that going in). You'll have to read the alt text to find out which is which, if you're so inclined.

Books I read in November:

1) "The Secret Hours" by Mick Herron. Marketed as a standalone novel, it turned out to be, in fact, a very satisfying Slough House prequel (I made the choice to not read the series and watch the TV show instead, but don't think this book will be part of it?). Most known characters are not named, with two exceptions, but you'll know exactly who they are. The tone of voice and takedown of contemporary UK politics are spot-on, and it was especially fun to read because I could imagine Mick Herron having great fun writing it.
2) "The Persians" by Sanam Mahloudji. A sprawling family saga split between Iran and the US - exactly the sort of book you'd expect me to dive headfirst into, and I did, coming out with slightly mixed feelings. The voice is gorgeous and powerful, but the narrative felt disjointed at times, which made complete sense when I learned this is the author's first novel and the bulk of her writing is short stories. Each chapter is, indeed, a story of its own; I'm just not sure all of them were vital to the plot.
3) "Tart" by Slutty Cheff. Borrowed from a friend who didn't like it, and if you're wondering why she'd want me to read it - long story, you had to be there. Also, it's set in the London restaurant scene, and came to me as I was considering quitting my job to work in a kitchen. To its credit, it cured me of that delusion (my body would crumble within a week). That's where the praise ends. The writing felt sloppy and repetitive, and I'm just not that invested in anyone's sex life to enjoy a whole book about it.
4) "Someone Who Will Love You in All Your Damaged Glory" by Raphael Bob-Waksberg (of BoJack Horseman fame). Likely my favourite fiction read of 2025. There isn’t one story in it I didn’t like, and some felt almost as if they could only have been written by someone who knows me very well. For the BoJack watchers among you, the vibe and humour are similar, but most stories are a lot more hopeful than the series.

On a long train journey home, I felt like music with "evenings getting darker" vibes, and landed on Muse's Origin of Symmetry, which I hadn't played in ages but still believe to be one of the best albums ever made. Funny it had to be right now: 22 years from this gig, almost to the day.

Nostalgia thread alert: did I ever tell you about the time I saw Muse live for just over 20€? Well, I'm about to. I still have the ticket. It's framed and has autographs on it, though all that is a much later (2010s) addition, and a story for another time.

October reads on @thestorygraph.com, picking up right where I left off last month (i.e. books that made me unspeakably sad). I turned to mysteries for a palate cleanser, and The Missing Cryptoqueen was just as good as I'd hoped from listening to the podcast.

Books I read in October, let's go.

1) "Crying in H Mart" by Michelle Zauner: the end of a two-year-and-counting Libby queue. Well worth it. I really like her writing voice (more than her music, which should be right up my street but hasn't drawn me in as much), and all along, the book felt as if I was listening to a close friend sharing her deepest feelings on grief, belonging and identity - or it's perceived loss. A lot I could relate to, partly because we are so close in age, and despite having grown up in very different families. Also unspeakably sad every time I reminded myself how young the author's mother was when she died, which was roughly every other page.

2) "Sugartown" by Caragh Maxwell: here comes unspeakably sad book number two. The "return to humdrum life in bleak hometown" narrative was catnip for me. Also, absolutely gorgeous writing. There are books that make me think that if I can't create even half of the world and atmosphere they do, I might be better off not writing again. And well this is exactly what I want my novel to sound like. So there.

3) "An elderly lady is up to no good" by Helene Tursten: highly recommended in many places as cosy crime with dark humour, didn't hit the mark for me. I found it repetitive and not particularly funny. Luckily, it's very short and I finished it in two days.

4) "The missing Crypto Queen" by Jamie Bartlett: couldn't miss this as I'm a huge fan of the podcast. Loved seeing the story covered in much mode depth, but please please please release a new episode at some point, will you?

Breakfast in the morning. Black coffee straight out the moka pot within minutes of getting out of bed; food I enjoy made just the way I like it; happy cats in the sunny spot on the floor; a chat with my partner or a book for company when I'm on my own.
