35. what’s a book you read over and over?
So, to preface: i almost never reread a book from start to finish, but the bits I like most:
The Red Necklace by Sally Gardner
Marley and Me by John Grogan
Having said that though, I could read A Sky Painted Gold by Laura Wood over and over (I've read it twice) because I love it so much. Also The Hunger Games trilogy (although not so often because it is pretty heavy-going) just because it is so relevant.
Thanks for the ask!

Palm Beach County is known as a playground for the obscenely rich, but what is less widely known is that it is also home to huge farms that stretch across drained Everglades swamps for miles out of town. Thousands of migrant workers, coast from Mexico and Central America, migrate into South Florida each growing season to pick the peppers, tomatoes, lettuce, and celery that supply much of the East Coast

John and Jenny were young and deeply in love, with a perfect little house and not a care in the world. Then they brought home Marley, a wiggly yellow furball of a puppy. Life would never be the same. Marley quickly grew into an uncontrollable ninety-seven-pound steamroller of a Labrador retriever. Expelled from obedience school, even the tranquillisers prescribed by the vet couldn't stop him. Yet through the chaos and the hilarity, he won hearts and remained a steadfast model of devotion to his family, even when they were at their wits' end. Unconditional love, they would learn, comes in many forms.

This 80s Classic is a seriously underrated 'Coming-of-Age' movie.
I remember back during my school years; having to write an essay about the difference between the Book and the Movie 📖🎬

#Uncool50 - childhood
This is part of my #Uncool50, a personal life discussed through fifty singles.
Four from early childhood, the pop from my environment where I grew up. ABBA were in their imperial phase, but Dancing Queen and Fernando fall just before the 1977 cut-off. Take a chance on me is the sort of thing Jimmy Young would play, and mother would listen to. Fill late mornings with the Jimster and fun and fishpaste sandwiches.
youtube
Wuthering Heights and Kate Bush emerged from nowhere. There's this scary witchy woman, singing something frightening. But then she's on Swap Shop, talking to cuddly Noel, and speaks as if she's like one of the ladies from playgroup. Very confusing, and the right sort of unsettling scary.
youtube
Summer nights from Grease was all over the school playground, one of the more bolshie girls and the cocky lads would sing the lead, the rest of us would do the "well-a-well-a-well" stuff. We were far too young to understand the lyric, just knew it as a cracking song. It’s one of the very few popular songs my dad ever said he liked.
youtube
Altered Images inspired my sister. It's Christmas Eve 1981, and Peter Powell introduces the top hits. First up, Clare Grogan singing. She has this fabulous hairdo, which completely inspires my sister. Wants a hairdo like that. Tomorrow. For church. Never mind the presents, stuff the turkey, just the hairdo.

Next: my kind of pop

Hayvanseverler özel bir insan türüdür; Ruhu cömert, empati dolu, belki biraz duygusallığa meyilli ve en az bulutsuz bir gökyüzü kadar kocaman yürekli.
