Welcome to The Firefly Folios!

I’m Riza - the person behind the blog Pages and Coffee Cups, and this newsletter, The Firefly Folios. Expect posts about books, stationery, travel, lifestyle, and occasional personal musings - a hodgepodge of who I am, with a more intimate lens than what I share on the blog.

Feel free to say Hi anytime! 😊

You can start by reading this post, ‘Our Grief Books’, which is my personal favorite entry in this newsletter I’ve written as of now. I also keep a series called ‘Taking Stock’ (a carry-over from my blog) which centers slowing down and taking stock of where we are right now. A separate series (and my favorite!), ‘Glimmers’, centers the little things that make my days brighter every week. This is post that I write most often, and if you’re looking for some weekly positive vibes, this is a good place to start.
