Hello, and welcome to my little digital notebook. My name is Briar and I made this site to have a place to collect my thoughts on the books/movies that I enjoy, as well as share some of my creative projects like my art and writing and occasionally share a recipe or two in my cookbook. This website is designed for and best veiwed on a 1920x1080 monitor. As I learn more about code I hope to edit it to make it accomodate more screen sizes, but likely never for mobile.
Please explore through the nav up top to check out all my different content!
I'm currently working on writing my first book (which you can read about under the writing tab) and will likely be going back through my inspirations for it and posting about them under books/movies.
2/10/2025 Finally remembered to add some of my fav drawings from this year to the sketchbook, rewrote a few pages
2/9/2025 New, more legible navigation style and some other small tweaks
23/8/2025 Added a reviews for Three Wishes for Cinderella, 1973 and Excalibur, 1981 under movies
07/08/2025 Re-writing page blurbs, updating CSS, added a 'currently reading' section on this page, swapped notebook background because the lined pages affected readability.
Most importantly: linked the writing page
22/5/2025 SO many adjustments to code under the hood, fixed CSS of whole site in prep for improved gallery layout + future pages
21/5/2025 Improved navigation coding to (hopefully) work on more screen sizes + added hovertext for link names
20/5/2025 Added review of A Tale for the Time Being under books, worked on hidden writing page (coming soon!), updated home and about pages
