Anyway my current top 10 book suggestions for early book presents to the parents of under 2s, particularly if most of the gifts will be coming from people unfamiliar with babies or people over 50:
 (I have suffered through so many baby showers with ‘buy us a library’ gift requests with terrible terrible picturebooks chosen by well meaning older relatives who chose something randomly from Kmart or something they loved from 1980, or from people who have not interacted with a child under 5 in the last 30 years. Save your friends. Buy books they can stand to read more than twice) 
All of these suggestions are board books, just buy board books for this demographic, they want to help turn pages.
A Black & White book in your newborn gift. There’s a whole bunch of these, just pick something with illustrations you like. Early focus books for tiny babies, they are obsessed with this stuff for the first few months.
A Mem Fox (hi yes I’m Australian did you know). My personal picks of the bunch for tinies are Where is the Green Sheep or Ten Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes, but honestly any of them, Mem Fox understands exactly how to write the sort of repeatable poetry that turns storytime into a song and doesn’t make you want to tear your hair out. Grandparents will remember so often aim for more recent books.
A Sandra Boynton. Again, a master of repeatable poetry. I love But Not the Armadillo best, but you’re often better going with a newer title just because the grandparents and great aunts of this baby will remember Boynton and pick out something. If the new parent is your sibling, something like Doggies is a masterstroke of a gift as it will intensely irritate the parent who reads it while the kid is enraptured.
I Need a Hug by Aaron Blabey. Yes, the Pig the Pug guy but honestly this story is better. Blabey isn’t quite the poet of the two above but he writes good content you’ll enjoy rereading.
I Want My Hat Back, by Jon Klassen. There’s a couple more in this series too. The art is dreamy and it has good “spot the thing” storytelling possibilities.
A Hervé Tullet activity book. Mix it Up, Press Here, Tap! Tap! Tap!, there’s more of them. Great for the 18+ month crowd as the child gets to interact with the book and learn about movement and art techniques.
A local A-Z book. There are 50 million of these, go choose something with pictures you like. I strongly recommend getting something focused on local native animals or local places to the parent, if you can, especially if you’re not American-based. (If you are American-based, I suggest searching out something from a specific international location or something tied to a local region just for some VARIETY in the art style or animals you are looking at. I promise you, it’s possible to find stuff that doesn’t just use the canonical “W for Whale, X for X-ray Fish, Y for Yak” sort of international approach to the end of the alphabet). I’ve seen lots done in native art styles too which is always a worthwhile pick.
Some sort of flap book. Small children love themselves a flap book. Spot books are classic, but there’s millions of the things, flip through a few until you find one with illustrations that you like and where the story doesn’t seem infuriating (the last one I gave someone was There’s an Owl in my Towel which had cute rhymes)
A Wombat book (Australian! Did I mention!) This is just me mashing two authors together but Susannah Chambers has two charming books about wombats (Snow Wombat and Beach Wombat) and I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Jackie French’s Diary of a Wombat series. Both authors can write, they’re scenic stories, as an adult reading them you’ll be entertained.
A bath book. Go find something waterproof for bathtimes that has nice illustrations. Some of them change colour when you dip them in the water. Extremely useful for entertaining small humans in the bath.

Rules: list your ten favorite albums of all time and tag ten people to list theirs!
THIS GOT SO LONG IM SORRY
There is absolutely 0 order to this. Also I did 11 because I thought of all of these and then kept going back and forth about which one to eliminate and I couldn’t do it!! They’re all here for different reasons so I’m saying fuck the rules everybody lives! I am an absolute Album Listener like I’m usually in the mood for a specific album and I’ll listen straight through(but maybe skip a couple songs here and there)
1. Montaigne- Complex (This is the first year in like 3 years that Montaigne hasn’t been my number 1 or 2 artist on wrapped but all their albums still absolutely rule but this one is my fave.)
2. The Killers- Sam’s Town (I’ve been a Killers fan since I saw Somebody Told Me on the vh1 top 20 video countdown ✌️Hot Fuss is a banger but Sam’s Town holds a special place. Remember when we had song ringtones? The song Sam’s Town from the album Sam’s Town was mine for so long in high school.)
3. Punisher- Phoebe Bridgers (the soundtrack of my 2020 I used to come home exhausted from work and sit in bed and listen to punisher straight through and read fanfic to unwind. In hindsight not a Great Time but in the moment it kept me sane)
4. Coheed and Cambria- In Keeping Secrets Of Silent Earth 3 (the amount of Coheed I listened to in college was astronomical. For a while they got linked to a shitty time so I couldn’t listen but seeing them in the line up for WWWY is bringing me back babeyyy. Honestly big respect to Claudio Sanchez for making a whole band and multiple albums around his little OCs)
5. My Chemical Romance- The Black Parade (truly do I have to explain)
6. Petey- Lean Into Life (Petey made up 28% of my top 100 songs this year alone so he’s earned his place)
7. The Wombats- Glitterbug (I was torn between this one and Beautiful People Will Ruin Your Life but Headspace being on Glitterbug means it wins)
8. Metric- Live It Out (Another HS/College banger. I used to get so anxious during boss/big enemy fights in video games so I would listen to this album and sometimes specifically Monster Hospital on repeat. Sad I don’t like any of Metrics stuff post Fantasies but their early albums are great)
9. One Direction- Made In The AM (if yall haven’t been here for long you missed the 1D years and tbh I’m sad for you it was a fun time. Glad I got in as a fully cooked adult so I could avoid the extremely toxic parts and just have fun. Anyway last album best album when is the hiatus ending boys!!!!!!!!!)
10. Rilo Kiley- The Execution Of All Things(back to HS/college woohoooo! Truly is there anything better than screaming A Better Son/Daughter I DONT THINK SO)
11. Modest Mouse- We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank (Missed The Boat is one of my favorites songs of all time. This is another band that got stuck in the Associated With Bad Person zone for awhile but I just relistened a couple years ago and we’re so back baby)
tagging @pixiestickers @lookforanewangle @captainshakespear @bishakespeares @cassiefisherdrake @varricandhawke @thychesters @ursanic
11 albums 8 people I’m a great rule follower
Also if you see this and want to do it this is blanket permission to just say I tagged you ✌️

What kind of music do you like? :O any favourite artists/bands?
Big fan of the The Wombats, Daft Punk and Kiltro! I'm overall a big fan of any music that has a lot of hyper techno sounds or an acoustic indie/folk feel lmao, for perspective my favourite song is Midnight City by M83 <33
But honestly I listen to anything I like, all of Uta's film red songs were so hnnnggg

Those guys from Transformers you like (I don't go there but you seem to love them 🤠)
Tumblr media
I SURE DO LOVE THOSE TRANSFORMERS GUYS YES 😎🤠
u didn't specify which Transformers guys so lemme do my TF OTP SoundRod <3
god I'm like. so unwell abt them. I swear I am they have just won my heart over and I cannot stop thinking abt them. no matter the contuinuity too, this ship just ALWAYS works. and I think it's abt who they are at their cores
Soundwave is such an omniscent mech, he knows everything, he is everywhere. he is completely loyal and never wants anything else in his loyalty. he doesn't do it bc he wants to move up the ranks, he does it bc he genuinely believes his cause. he is calm, collected, he has to have everything under his control. and he's so curious, he needs to know more abt those arround him and the world around him. he is also so caring, even if he doesn't appear much like so. he genuinely cares not only for things he believes in but also mechs he believes in. also he's pretty much an asshole. I mean his most recognizable line is abt his superiority like. cmon
Hot Rod on the other hand is just passionate to his core. everything he does is out of love for everything around him. he wants to make the future better, he wants to lead mechs to the better future. he is headstrong and brash in his decisions but his spark is always in the right place. he is curious abt the world and wants to help everything. I also kind of never got from him that he truly needed the leader position, it just comes naturally for him. G1, CBV, it's all so natural to him. he is caring and charismatic, he wants everyone to see the world in pink just as he does
u see this already, right? one is calm and calculating, the other is loud and hotheaded. but it's the other traits that are so...similar to each other. hence I think that they would hit it off. they're both caring, curious and stubborn. not to mention, they both have a knack for leading, even if Rods is a natural born leader and Soundwave prefers to be the second one
and that's what I honestly love abt them. it's that their differences do NOT divide them but rather bring them closer. Rods would become steadier and think through more with Soundwave. Soundwave would live more in the moment and let things happen more. I truly believe these two would make each other better
it's also that moment of them being impressed by each other. with them being a Decepticon-Autobot couple it already creates Drama but I love to think abt the walls cracking. the moment when Soundwave is so impressed with Rods and his abilities in fight and leadership. thinking that he's more than just a dumb Autobot he's been fighting. same with Rods, he'd see a Decepticon who is not only abt the fight but also connections. that he cares and that tough exterior helps to protect others. and who could see behind the mask better than Rods?
also I think they both would be super into human culture. as in Rods would be into movies and racing and Soundwave ofc into music. they could share interests and times together
goddamn, I just love to see them share their time together and become better with each other. I see Soundwave becoming more affectionate, realizing how much Rods means to him. I see Rods choosing Soundwave, no matter what. I see them not caring abt the war just to be with each other. I think they both would see sth in each other they never knew they needed
and I was talking purely on all canons but knowing their story in Cyberverse.....holy shit man. it's a love story u know? I cannot describe it in any other way. the beautiful slow burn and opening up to each other. the fact that Soundwave loved Hot Rod so much he gave up his life so he can lead a better life. that's poetry man, one day I almost bursted into tears just thinking abt CBV ending
tl;dr as the band The Wombats sang once

What are Dingus’ top 5 songs right now? 👂🏻 I desire music 🎶
omg a music question.... THANK U BATS 🧡
SO, there are five music artists i heavily associate with my take on a modern au diego, so i'm gonna just choose a song from each of them that i think he would particularly like.
arctic monkeys - from the ritz to the rubble (his fave song from his fave album by his fave band)
the last shadow puppets - bad habits (he has a crush on alex turner.. so ofc he likes his second band too)
the strokes - heart in a cage (the lyric "see i'm stuck in a city, but i belong in a field" always makes me think of him)
sam fender - the leveller
catfish and the bottlemen - pacifier
my diego is incredibly snobby about music, he's of the opinion that british music is far superior than american 💀 which is honestly really funny to me. the strokes are a special exception.
a few other artists he likes and would recommend to anybody who would listen are: corella, blur, circa waves, the vaccines, the wombats, the zangwills, balancing act, basically any kind of brit indie rock that he can loudly play in his car LOL. he also really enjoys classic punk (sex pistols, the clash, buzzcocks, that sort of stuff) but doesn't listen to it as often as he did when he was younger.

@its-a-hare-pom-pom thank you for the tag!!
Favourite colour and why? blue - it reminds me of the sea, it feels calm and sad but happy too. I like the sound of the word. I also love pink, because it's a happy and bright.
Five comfort movies: i don't really watch movies...
Favourite season and why? winter! i like when it's cold and you can wrap up in blankets; i like those really cold mornings and cold nights and the frost and ice; less people are out when you go to parks/outdoor places; there are several things that can't happen in winter and those things give me anxiety; i have work and while it's stressful, it's not intense like other parts of the year
Favourite book(s): Villette by Charlotte Bronte, Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte are my top three
favourite aesthetic(s)and why? I think 'cottagecore' is pretty cute, or like, space aesthetics or 'arty' ones - oh, and like, horribly gaudy rainbow ones. Idk all the proper names but those ones just appeal to me
Favourite genre and why? It depends on what it is, but I'll talk about books because TV tastes are just - random. With books, I like 'literary' fiction, classics, historical fiction and short stories too? I guess I like the analyse stuff when I read, to look at the layers and structures, and I find those genres lean more easily towards that.
Favourite clothes style: honestly shifts between girly dresses and fluffy coats to dungarees, oversized shirts and DMs
Favourite music genres: most of my favourite artists fit under the 'indie' category somewhere
Favourite artists: Florence and the Machine, The Killers, The Wombats, King Princess
Favourite song(s): King by Florence and the Machine and Battle Born by The Killers
Favourite fandoms: BBC Ghosts ❤
Hobbies: writing, drawing, reading, walking
Care language you give: acts of service, I guess? or being a willing listener? idk
Care language you like to receive: willing listeners?
Are you an introvert/extrovert/ambivert: introvert
Morning or night person? i'm less anxious in the morning but i'm also awake most of the night so...
City, country or suburbs and why? suburbs. basically, i like where i live, the balance between having green space but also having easy access to towns/shops/cities
Favourite time of day and why? between 8:30 and 9:30pm, because day anxiety is over and night anxiety hasn't fully begun
Do you have any religious beliefs(don’t have to answer if not comfortable)? not really
What does your ideal family look like to you? me, a gf and many many guinea pigs? maybe a daschund (if i get over the fear of dogs)? and friends too? (and ofc some of my actual family now)
Dream future: no idea, can't see a thing
Dream place to visit: I'd love to go to Geneva, Brussels or Iceland, but realistically, I'd just like to go back to Haworth or Lulworth (or, lbr, the Isle of Wight)
Favourite type of nature: I like flowers, the sea and cliff tops
Favourite habitat (eg jungle, desert, tundra etc): the ocean and forests
How would you describe yourself in 4 words: awkward, anxious, serious, creative?
If you could be another thing on earth what would it be: something inanimate, like a rock
Favourite type of weather: sunny but cool (or snow, but i feel bad for saying that 😁)
If you could travel anywhere right now where would it be: Haworth
Do you have any fears (serious or otherwise): everything? dogs, house fires, burglary, the future, people in those mascot costumes, social interactions etc.
Dream job: who knows
Would you be a pirate/vampire/cowboy/astronaut/werewolf/wizard/witch/knight/cryptid and why? cowboy, i guess. i like the hats
I'll tag @sonnet-of-anarchy @thelastplantagenet @thatgordongirl @breitzbachbea @athelstan-anglecyning if you want to do it

Oh? Hello, I guess. I didn't expect to see anyone here.. Do you like video games? How about movies? Did you know I'm actually a screenwriter? Well not actually.. I mean I kinda am, or I think I am? I did help in a muscial though, they used the script I wrote. I thought it was pretty cool! What did you think?

Yello, Yello! I'm Lore, or well that's what you can call me. I guess that's weird to use as a name or nickname, but yeah you can call me that or Rory! Welcome to my roleplay blog for Young Neil, I have not seen any other roleplay blogs for him yet so I decided to make one plus I wanted to join in on the fun!
𝙸𝙽𝙵𝙾 𝙰𝙱𝙾𝚄𝚃 𝙼𝙴 𝙰𝙽𝙳 𝙼𝙾𝚁𝙴
★ I'm in my early twenties, so do understand I have a job and life to worry about, I also can be quite busy but I'll do my best to keep everyone updated and things of the sort.
★ I have a terrible habit of forgetting things or getting sidetracked, so please bare with me. I may get things confused and if so feel free to correct me!
★ I have a lot of brain rot going on for certain things currently, that specifically being Scott Pilgrim Takes off/vs the world. Kieran Culkin, succession, and Lymelife which I obsess over every single day. Oh, I'm also a huge Garfield and Pink panther lover.
★ I'm a rambler, sometimes I get excited and start talking too much. So my apologies if I post too much, I also might be a bit extra with trying to make everything look nice or good.
Anyways, let's get to the more important information as well as some rules and basics.
☕ I've watched both the show and movie, but have not read the comics yet. Although I have read up a few of the characters wiki and have been spoiled so I know something's but not a lot.
👾 Everyone is welcome to ask or even just pop in, you can also claim emoji's, just let me know and I'll add them to the anon list! Ooc, Non-canon, Canon are allowed. Shipping as well, as long as it's nothing illegal or wrong. Examples being Neil X Knives, or trying to ship a character who is lesbian like Roxy with Neil which I doubt would happen but better to say something cause you never know honestly with how the internet is.
☕ Nsfw is not allowed, you could perhaps make a few light jokes or something just nothing to vulgar and keep it vague please. Politics, Problematic asks, or anything along the lines are not allowed.
There's also what's been happening with Palestine and Israel, I am Pro-Palestine. Hopefully I'm wording that correctly, if not my apologies. I have an ooc account where I will spread awareness for that, reblogs and likes of the sort. My likes for this blog will most likely be full of stuff for support of Palestine as well, if you do not like that do block me. It's not that hard.
👾 I will not tolerate hate torwards anyone's gender, sexuality, race, or anything of the sort. Pro-Shippers and Com-Shippers, do not interact.
☕ Other than that please be respectful, and let's have fun!

I went back to work yesterday and finished four books! (I’m a fast reader and they were middle grade books and a picture book, so not too hard to get through.) I’m going to put most of this under a cut, as it’s quite long.
In short, I gave Out of the Dust 3 stars, Sisters 5 stars, Matilda 5 stars, and Diary of a Wombat 5 stars.
Tumblr media
There’s an example. It’s very interesting, and the story was definitely one that could spark discussion in a class.
There’s an example. It’s very interesting, and the story was definitely one that could spark discussion in a class.
The problem—and it’s a problem you run into with a lot of stories about that period—is that it is depressing! It is a very sad story about people struggling, both because of the situation they’re living in and because of their relationships with each other.
Honestly, if I had a choice to teach this book or another, I’d choose another. (If you’re looking for a good one, I suggest Esperanza Rising by Pam Muñoz Ryan.)
—————————————————————
Sisters by Raina Telgemeier is a graphic novel I’ve seen kids reading for years now. It’s autobiographical and is about Raina and her younger sister growing up and going on a road trip with their mom and their little brother. It was really cute, well told, and well drawn. There were a lot of parts that reminded me of myself and my siblings. I understand why it appeals to so many kids. I finished it wondering…is there a sequel? (I’ll have to find out!)
Here’s a couple of examples of pages from the book. It’s so cute! If you’ve ever been a big sister or a little sister, you’ll enjoy it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
—————————————————————
Matilda by Roald Dahl is a reread for me, but it’s been years since I read it. It was fun to read it during class (I picked it up while the kids were having independent reading; got to set a good example, you know) because several of the girls had seen Matilda the Musical on Netflix over winter break. One of them was also reading the book! We had a good time talking about the differences between the book and the movie. I had fun reading the book and seeing how much both the old Matilda movie and the new musical took directly from the book.
The only issue I had (and it was a small and insignificant one) was a small section where Matilda said that “Mister C.S. Lewis and Mister Tolkien didn’t put any funny parts in their books.” I’ll admit, it’s been a few years since I last read Tolkien, but I think there are some funny bits in LOTR and The Hobbit, and in Narnia. I think Matilda was smart enough to read those books but maybe needed somebody to read aloud to her to help her understand. I’m sure Miss Honey read to her once she adopted her, though.
—————————————————————
Diary of a Wombat was a last minute addition to my reading day. I picked it up out of a pile of picture books and read it in about five minutes. It is really cute. It’s about a wombat who gets new human “neighbors” and the chaos that ensues. It would be really fun to read when talking about point of view and I could see using it as part of a “personal narrative” unit. I could also see reading it to younger students when doing a unit on Australia or Australian animals, or just animals in general. You could even pair it with a nonfiction text about wombats and their behavior. The pictures are cute and, well, I admit that some of it made me want to be a wombat. (“Morning: slept. Afternoon: slept . Evening: demanded carrots. Slept.”. What a good life.)
—————————————————————
Have you guys read any of these books? What did you think of them?
Also, I’ve started thinking about this today—do you prefer physical books, audiobooks, or ebooks?

Kurt with a Chaotic Yet Mature Reader
This is a request from @cora-cooks-batteries, and honestly I kind of relate to this because I feel like most of the time I’m a calm person but then other times I’m absolutely feral, so this should be a fun time! If this isn’t to your liking, please let me know and I can make whatever edits are needed! Also the gif is not mine and if it belongs to you let me know so I can give you credit!
Warnings: none I don’t think
Tumblr media
I think that it’s safe to say that you met Kurt through Luis and or Scott
If it’s Luis, he would definitely tell some kind of elaborate story on how you met or how skilled you are *cue his famous story telling montage*
When it comes to Scott it could go a number of ways. Maybe he saw you working away on a laptop at Baskin Robins, or perhaps you babysat Cassie a few times
Either way, Kurt would at least hear about you before seeing you in person
However, the moment you walk into the office for X-Con Security, Kurt would be in awe
He thinks you are the most attractive person he has ever seen, and would definitely be shy, but in the cutest way possible
When Kurt actually sees you in action, figuring out different plans and what not, he is going to be even more head over heels
You give him a suggestion and he is trying so hard not to freak out due to the close proximity
“Have you thought about this option? It’s cheaper and more efficient, which is precisely what the client is working for.”
“Oh, I did not think of that. Smart move, Y/N.”
I personally feel that while Kurt is smooth enough to ask the reader on a date, I think that he would come up with some kind of group thing as an excuse in case the reader doesn’t feel the same
“Luis, Dave, Scott, and I are all heading to club after work. Would you care to join?”
A fun night out with the three wombats and Ant-Man? Who would pass that up!
Once you get to the club, things would start off kind of slow, the one dancing the most being Luis
However, once that favorite song of your’s comes on, any and all control goes out the window. You are dancing however you feel and like no one is watching, a huge smile on your face
Kurt is dumbfounded. How is it that someone who is so calm and calculated in the workplace be this crazy and outgoing all of a sudden?
He doesn’t see it as a bad thing though, and Scott notices his shocked state
“Hey Kurt, you feeling okay? I promise there isn’t a Baba Yaga anywhere, and if there is I can handle it.”
“I am in love.”
I think that once you start dating, the chaotic side would become more prevalent
Kurt adores every bit of it, especially when you are cooking dinner for him
He would come home from his shift at X-Con, only to find you dashing around the kitchen
Ingredients would be strung across the entire counter space, flour coating your clothes
You would be frantically stirring one pot while trying to chop vegetables, all the while keeping an eye on whatever dish was already in the oven
Kurt would smile as he came up behind you, leaving a kiss on the top of your head. “What are you making, love?”
“Syrniki and Beef Stroganoff. I know they’re your favorites, and you deserve them after a long shift.”
Kurt would offer to help you, but you insisted that he relaxes for a while
This of course would probably lead to some kind of food fight, considering that the kitchen is already a mess anyway
“Your aim is terrible. Luis could throw better than you.”
“You take that back! You aren’t exactly a pro either.”
Overall I think it’s safe to say that a chaotic reader would definitely be able to bring out Kurt’s more chaotic side, and at some point the others would have to separate the two
This would only last for about five minutes considering that both you and Kurt know how to break out of rooms no sweat
Needless to say, once you are both free, more chaos would be soon to follow

hiiii, questions tag game below! 💚
I was tagged by @pointyearedelvishprincling @castiellesbian @faithlesshunter @pinkinthenightdean @castielsupernatural @redleavesinthewind @chapeldean @girlbossdean @cruelsummercas and @blue-eyed-cutiepatootie lol thank you all! I had a blast reading all your answers :')

Five songs I've had on repeat, tagged by @big-meows h yeah let's dive in
Wedding Vows in Vegas by Was (Not Was)
youtube
I love the atmosphere in this song, smoky rooms and indifference and decisions made spur of the moment and late at night in cheap motels, but that's the way it is sometimes and it's no less deserving of a song kind of vibe.
Technicolor Dreaming by Cardiknox
youtube
Jangly neon and bitter. I like sad songs that are up tempo it gives a nice manic energy. A sense of being exhausted and wired at the same time. Good.
My Brain is Like a Sieve by Thomas Dolby
youtube
Gloomy lounge divorce music energy. People locked into draining relationships and still making themselves available to it. We love to see it.
Worlds Apart by The Codetalkers
youtube
Gives tired people at a bus depot on the edge of the desert going to Vegas. Also space imagery so a winner to me.
So there's like a theme to all these and I have to admit this is a playlist for an inexplicable Las Vegas AU I've been writing for the better part of this year. I hope to... complete it! Some day!
Wombat Astronaut by Plini
youtube
A non fic-related track finally. Really the whole album but this track in particular. I found Plini like 8 years ago through Bandcamp, which is how I get most of my music now. These notes just hit right. Make me think of being in a city again all wrapped up in sounds and lights.
Any mutual should feel free to do this honestly. Or anyone who wants to share their playlist. Was fun.

relationship status: single
song stuck in my head: alt-j, Every Other Freckle
last song i listened to: I was listening to the radio in the car. The last one I remember was Broken Bells, The High Road.
three favorite foods: The brats from the butcher shop near me, the cheddar and fajita flavors are my favorites but they have like 20 flavors and they're all sooooo good. Last summer I had friends over one at a time to try them like I was trapping them in the fae realm. I personally ate something like a hundred brats in 2022 and plan to do it again in 2023. Bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwiches. Literally any combination of peanut butter and chocolate.
last thing i googled: if books could kill podcast
dream trip: I took an amazing trip to Japan in 2013 and honestly I'd just do it again. I loved it so much.
anything i want right now: The strength and focus to find all the service providers and make appointments for various things (electrician, someone to paint a wall in my house, therapist, tattoo artist, some other stuff). [REDACTED.] For all my worst neighbors to find their chill forever.
idk if I have anyone to tag, but definitely please do it if you want!

3. A song that reminds you of summertime: Make Up by Barry Paquin Roberge
I first saw this band at a music festival in the middle of summer, and every time I listen to their stuff it reminds me of sitting at a wooden bench on a perfect summer evening, eating the kind of popcorn that's shitty but in an enjoyable way. BPR weren't the band I was there to see, but they ended up being my favourite new one from the trip.
11. A song you never get tired of: Lemon to a Knife Fight by the Wombats
Absolutely never fails to get me in a jammin mood.
20. A song that has many meanings to you: Andante Cantabile by Brian Crain
What an interesting prompt. This one took me the longest to decide on, but in the end I decided to go with a piece that I've found myself returning to and drawing comfort from in a lot of different contexts. I'm cheating a little in that it's an instrumental piece and thus very easy to ascribe different meanings to it, but I honestly can't think of any music with lyrics that fits the definition for me as well as this one.
28. A song by an artist with a voice that you love: Lonely the Night by Yola
Easiest pick of this whole set. What a set of pipes that woman has. This is the song that makes me appreciate her voice the most, but Shady Grove and Diamond-Studded Shoes are my other two favourites from her.
30. A song that reminds you of yourself: House by the Sea by Moddi
Also a tough decision - I don't think of songs in relation to myself very much, I guess. There are artists people know I like and some I'd consider critical parts of how my personality turned out (Weird Al, Iron and Wine, etc) but not so much specific songs. I ended up choosing this one because it struck a very deep chord with me, for reasons I still don't even really understand, during a time I was really struggling. I don't think I'll ever be able to listen to it without thinking of that time and the eventual growth that came out of it.

Hello everyone and happy Monday! Apparently it’s Blue Monday today, the most miserable day of the year. It was a tough one at work but I’m determined not to fall into the blues 😂 so here are three beautiful hardbacks I treated myself to just before Christmas. I’ve seen The Golden Mole around for a little while now and after flicking through it, I’m really excited to get to it. This is described as a “lavishly illustrated collection of the lives of some of the Earth’s astounding animals.” For example, did you know that a pangolin keeps its tongue folded in a pouch by its hip? Or that a wombat once inspired a love poem? 😂 Gosh I’m excited for this! 2023 is finally the year I tackle War and Peace! Along with over 500 other people, I am reading a chapter a day of this beautiful classic for the very first time. The readalong is hosted by @footnotes.and.tangents so check it out if you fancy joining us! #whiskeyandperseverance Finally, I was far more attracted to the title of this nonfiction book rather than the cover - The Book Of Phobias and Manias. I know I’m an arachnophobe, I’m pretty certain I have bibliomania 🤣 but want to know another fun fact about me? I have a phobia of cotton wool! Honestly, it makes me feel ill 🤢 I’d love to know your thoughts on any of these books or authors. Let’s have a chat in the comments and have a great week everyone! 🤗😘 #bookstagram #scottishbookstagrammer #anotherbookhaul #thegoldenmoleandotherlivingtreasure #katherinerundell #warandpeace #leotolstoy #buddyreadswithfriends #thebookofphobiasandmanias #katesummerscale #newbooksplease #onthetbrpile https://www.instagram.com/p/CnfUEnjrbEx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
