1. House on the cerulean sea 🌊 This book is a great one to read going into spring. It’s so heart warming!! it makes me feel so happy and ready to appreciate life.
2. The opposite of loneliness ☀️ this book is a collection of fiction and non fiction essays from a girl who died right after graduating. I really like her work, the fiction feels creative and fun and the non fiction feels personal no matter what age I read it.
3. Bad Summer People 🏓 horny rich people play tennis over the summer and make bad choices! Quick read, gets me in the mood to keep reading more and more.

Nothing to See Here by Kevin Wilson is summery and heartfelt and so funny, about nannying your ex-best friend's twin stepkids who spontaneously combust. The Pleasing Hour by Lily King is a solid summer book to me, too, about an au pair in France, but maybe on the sadder side of the spectrum at times. I'd also throw in Commonwealth by Ann Patchett which has a few traumatic moments but is overall a superb read about the children in two families who spend summers together in Virginia, and how their lives change in adulthood, and it goes back and forth between the two timelines

this book is so freaking cute and wholesome! It explores themes of belonging, found family and queer romance. it helped me out of a serious reading slump and i come back to it now and then if i need a break from all the heavy stuff - hope you give it a try :)

Helena, or the sea in summer by Juliàn Ayesta is a beautiful short and romantic book thats perfect for summer! Bonjour Tristesse by Françoise Sagan and L'étranger by Albert Camus both explore darker topics but are in my opinion also easy reads, fit for summertime (maybe just because they both have lots of scenes on the beach lol)

Yeah severance is the best tv show on right now and I will watch it and discuss the nuances and the shots and coloring and the writing!! like That’s art, that’s critiquing culture, that’s bringing something new to the table
I will ALSO sit my ass down with wine and popcorn and watch the new love is blind episodes(and love island this summer!!!) because tv can also serve the purpose of shutting my brain O-F-F !!

You can always redownload it. If I keep opening Pinterest during work, just delete it for a while!! I can download it again.
Also we all know I mean Twitter and that I can’t go on it bc it will depress me .
