Good morning, wonderful people! Everything outside is so alive and insistent right now, and Keats knew what he was talking about, because May has a way of making the whole world feel like it's humming with something that has no interest whatsoever in being quiet.

Have a Thoughtful Thursday. Take care and stay safe. 💙

Good morning, lovely people! The solstice has just turned, and the light is extraordinary right now, long and golden and unhurried. Even though the wheel has begun its slow shift back, it doesn't feel like a loss so much as the year settling fully into itself.

Have a Magnificent Monday. Take care and stay safe. 💙

Good morning, lovely people! June is almost done, and the year is properly in its long golden stretch now. There's something about this particular point in summer that always makes reading feel like exactly the right thing to be doing with whatever quiet time you can find.

Have a Magnificent Monday. Take care and stay safe. 💙

Good afternoon, lovely people! I think that's a lovely way of putting it, because the best books don't just inform you but change the way you feel about things. They can expand your capacity for understanding and empathy in ways you don't always notice until much later.

Have a Magnificent Monday. Take care and stay safe. 💙

I Forget Where We Were by Ben Howard

heartbreaking and heartwarming lyrics
reassuringly yet terrifyingly relatable lyrics in terms of their expression of deep, personal emotions that are often hard to articulate

is not as feel good as some songs on his debut album: prepare to feel sad (0 more)
harrowing and beautiful in equal measures, this is one of my favourite second albums of all time. Ben Howard takes an incredibly dark direction in his second album, drawing upon some of the deeper, sadder, darker themes that had crept into his debut album but here confronts the darkness head on

I probably like this movie more than the people who made it!
"Father's Day" ...
"The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill" ...
"Something to Tide You Over" ...
"The Crate" ...
"They're Creeping Up on You" ...

The Crate is definitely my favorite, but all 5 segments are good in their own way. I love the use of color, the changing of color and the way George Romero made the film look and feel like the horror comic it is based on.

The campy feel is part of the fun, but the film still has some gory and chilling moments.

I have a hard time playing FPS games, but I took a lot of breaks so I was able to play this game at my own pace. The story is good and I found it interesting. I feel like the game missed out however on not having a campaign. The zombie aspect was cool, but it wasn't anything groundbreaking. If you are big into COD games, you'll enjoy it. It's not a terrible game and I did enjoy playing it for what it was, but I feel there's other games out there that offer a little more.

This really didn't grasp me and I couldn't bring myself to carry on reading. I feel like the concept could have been good but I just couldn't get into the story. I don't know if it was the way it was written or the storytelling flow, I feel bad but I just couldn't.
It's taken me a long time to get here, before I would just power through a book regardless, I'm glad that I've reached a place where I can now say "this isn't doing it for me, and there's so much more out there to read"

I have read a few books by Harry Manners and have enjoyed them all but The Ruin Saga just leaves me wanting more. I would compare it to S.M. Stirling's Change books which are some of my favorite. Mr. Manners does such a good job with character development that you feel that you actually know these people an are invested in what happens to them. Brink continues the story that was left off in Ruin and is just as good if not better. My only gripe is that I have to wait for more.

2018 | Drama, Music
THIS MOVIE IS SO PURE. Hearts Beat Loud‘s tagline is “The Feel Good Movie We Need Right Now” and I don’t know if I can describe it any better. It has great acting, great music, a great story about relationships and love and real-life problems, great design and editing, great everything. I could try and go into details but it just feels like I can say “every bit of it feels good” and tell you the music will be stuck in your head for months and call it a day.
