Love on the Brain!

Not gonna lie, y’all, I really enjoyed this. I was worried it wouldn’t be as good as The Love Hypothesis but it was just as cute! There are a few quibbles I have with how quickly the end sewed up, but as someone who also sews up endings fairly quickly I don’t have room to judge. 😂

Also! I sewed this selkie style dress! I don’t know what I was thinking with the color — it doesn’t do much for my skin tone and I should’ve picked a jewel tone instead — but it was a Pain in the Ass and I want to show it off, so here it is. 🥰

Second image: elissa is still reading the pink book but this time the image is zoomed out so her whole body is visible. The dress has a shirt bodice and a big puffy skirt to her knees. She’s wearing glittering green boots with large platforms.]

Do you ever consume totally different media at the same time and will forever associate one with the other?

I remember listening to Lana Del Ray’s debut album on loop the same time I watched Downton Abbey for the first time and now I can’t think of one without the other.

I read the first book of The Broken Earth trilogy at the same time as the first Inheritance Games book and now I’m reading book two of each series at the same time. I have a feeling I’ll be doing the same thing with the book threes. They don’t go together but they complement each other… I don’t know!

Tell me about your unusual pairings in the comments!

August wrap up! I had a ton of good reads this month. Missing in this lineup is Jennette Mccurdy’s I’m Glad My Mom Died, but the rest are here!

Trying something new with a reel… what do you think?

Home Field Advantage by Dahlia Adler was one of those unputdownable books that you love to read! I started it at night and reluctantly went to bed halfway through, knowing I couldn’t pull an all-nighter, but I finished it the next day. Amber and Jack’s story was just so well done and cute!

Amber is a cheerleader in her Florida hometown and all she wants is to be cheer captain at the end of the year. When their school quarterback dies in a car crash, a new recruit comes to take his place: Jack, or Jaclyn, a GIRL football player. The guys on the team hate her on sight and the girls on the cheer squad want to oust Jack from her position. Amber, well, she develops a crush. How can the two of them make their relationship work in the world that’s not cut out for them?

This was snappy and sweet and just overall fantastic. I loved Adler’s Cool for the Summer so I knew in my heart that HFA would be great too. Highly recommend for the sapphics (and non-sapphics!) in your life.
