💜 Match your favorite drink challenge 🧃

I’ve always tried to stay away from carbonated drinks but these Blooms are SO GOOD. I’m actively trying to limit how many I drink on a daily/weekly basis 🙈 The crisp apple flavor is perfect for fall too!

Whether you’re tagged or not, let me know what your favorite drink is 😊

{shoutout to @kimreadspages for tagging me in this cute challenge! I tagged a few but pls don’t feel any pressure!}

Lemme say, there are not enough brown books (at least on my shelves.) I literally only have these four that are close enough to my eyes, and Ask for Andrea is a ~s t r e t c h~ 🤣

In the sunlight, my eyes are a rich copper hue that I looove! I’ve added close-ups of my eyes in various light so you can see the brown in all its beauty compared to the book spines.

I also want to add that there are not enough songs about brown eyes, and I have always hated that Van Morrison one. When I discovered Summer Shandy by The Front Bottoms, I was like, FINALLY!

Brown Skin Girl by Leon Bridges is another lovely song that mentions brown eyes 🤎

✨Q: What color are your eyes?

A fun post inspired by @njoybookstoday ! I was never as big of a reader growing up as I am today. Growing up I would read here and there, but it wasn’t much. Don’t be hating on captain underpants though 😤 However, one series has alway remained true to my heart since middle school, and that’s (you guessed it) The Lord of the Rings😎 If you were tagged, I challenge for you to do the same post!

REVIEW 👁️ The Bluest Eye x Toni Morrison

forgive me for not posting my reviews for a while, although i enjoyed thinking deeply about this book. some quotes are below—

»What made people look at them and say, "Awwwww," but not for me?
•
»Misery colored by the greens and blues in my mother's voice took all of the grief out of the words and left me with a conviction that pain was not only endurable, it was sweet.
•
»The dandelions at the base of the telephone pole. Why, she wonders, do people call them weeds? She thought they were pretty. But grown-ups say, "Miss Dunion keeps her yard so nice. Not a dandelion anywhere."
•
»Thrown, in this way, into the binding conviction that only a miracle could relieve her, she would never know her beauty. She would see only what there was to see: the eyes of other people.
•
»It was their contempt for their own blackness that gave the first insult its teeth.
•
»The end of the world lay in their eyes, and the beginning, and all the waste in between.
•
»Black people were not allowed in the park, and so it filled our dreams.
•
»But to find out the truth about how dreams die, one should never take the word of the dreamer.
•
»She was still no more than a girl, and still waiting for that plateau of happiness, that hand of a precious Lord, who, when her way grew drear, would always linger near.
•
»I hurt just like them white women. Just 'cause I wasn't hooping and hollering before didn't mean I wasn't feeling pain.
•
»It was as though his disdain of human contact had converted itself into a craving for things humans had touched. The residue of the human spirit smeared on inanimate objects was all he could withstand of humanity.
•
»And I believe our sorrow was the more intense because nobody else seemed to share it.

Ok so this turned into more of a @catward66 appreciation post than I planned 😂 but seriously, this book was incredible and got me out of a reading slump I had fallen into. I’ve been on a sci-fi kick, and this was exactly the horror dream from the horror queen that I needed. Let me know what you thought in the comments and tell me what I should read next!

Glimpses of another Tuesday spent with the best @coffeeandcanons 🖤🥂📚

In my early 20s and the world as I knew it came crumbling down around me… I was confronted with a truth that changed the course of my life. That truth is that we only have a finite amount of “right nows” left in each of our lives. And in that moment, I decided that I would not waste a single one of them mindlessly checking off the boxes of life like a to-do list.

Fast forward to my mid 30s…im living a life without hustle, without great overwhelm, and full of beautiful days spent with the people I love. To the outside viewer my life might look lame, but to me it is rich and lovely and full of wonder! I hope you decide to spend what right nows you have left ever so wisely friend 🖤 you deserve it!

Also! If you are local to the Richmond area…check out Books, Beads, and More on Mechanicsville Turnpike!

Ok but knowing that she wrote this at SIXTEEN?!?!?🤯 and despite my current heartache…I am forever in awe of the depth and richness in the worlds created by Sarah J. Maas!

If you find yourself with even a microscopic love of fantasy…PICK UP THRONE OF GLASS! Let it consume you and change your entire personality. I promise you’ll thank me for it 🥳🥂
