These were my two summer reads last year 💛
The Dud Avocado by Elaine Dundy - think 1950s/60s sex and the city-esque story of a young and carefree American girl in Paris
Three Summers by Margarita Liberaki - sweet, thoughtful, and at times melancholic story of three sisters living in the Greek countryside

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.

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)

It’s in the title! A great summery, sunshine read. (Also, my life vastly improved when I started reading contemporary romance, hehe).

why do we have so much stuff, why is it so hard to clean all this stuff, why are we so excited to get new stuff, and why does stuff say so much about who we are

I was just thinking of this recently, of how oversaturated the internet feels. There’s too many platforms, content, and ads being shoved down our throats. I don’t know where the internet is headed but I feel like there is a growing general sentiment of fatigue.We’re also discovering ways to combat this fatigue, like lessening our screentime or simplifying our use of the internet (like this platform.) I would love to see this general sentiment dictate where the internet goes instead of the internet telling us what to consume.

I’m suddenly collecting cds again. I want to really have and own the things I love, and cherish them by listening to them again and again.
Instagram recently deleted some of our ig stories, and I realized that we can’t rely on these online platforms as our only way of storing our memories and media. I plan to go through old phone photos and pick which ones to print out.
