I can be somewhat flighty with my books (reading based on mood) so usually have an extensive currently-reading pile which I’ll work to finish slowly until they’re due at the library:
Sag harbor, colson whitehead
Indelicacy, Amina Cain
Bad blood, John carreyrou
The other Americans, laila lalami
Fear of flying, Erica jong
Travelers to unimaginable lands, dasha kiper
Once I’ve worked through those, id like to read:
james, percival Everett
The premonition, banana yoshimoto
What are you going through, sigrid nunez

having girl bffs is so important - i cant even think of anything better … maintaining sisterhood is literally the 8th wonder of the world … i am incomplete without supportive female friendships … i can live with having only 5 friends if it means they’re the best 5 girls in the universe

been journaling for awhile and its been a tool for creativity and unwinding after a longgg day. but having a larger journal with many pages can be daunting so i would recommend a pocket journal of some sort and ur fav pen (even fun stickers and photos) so u can take it with u on the go and not feel too intimidated. i love writing what i just witnessed, immediate thoughts, and literally anything for memory keeping or reflection. im on my third pocket journal now and although i havent been consistent its been something i do look forward to revisiting all the time 💓
