I really enjoyed sharing Currently Loving Vol. 01, so I'm really excited to continue the series. Also, I'd like
to quickly
thank everyone for the positive feedback about my 'Confession' post. Self love is so, so important. I had a friend and a close family friend both send me mail talking about the post and it meant so much. My favorite line from the post was, "I fully believe that in order to be happy with yourself, you need to love yourself first. " I put this quote on the first page of my new journal as a reminder. Again, thank you for the positive feedback and I look forward to sharing more opinion posts like that in the future.
Honestly, is this a FriYAY or what? Much needed relaxing, holiday weekend coming my way.
Currently Reading:
Funny Girl by Nick Hornby
Goodreads Excerpt
"Set in 1960's London, Funny Girl is a lively account of the adventures of the intrepid young Sophie Straw as she navigates her transformation from provincial ingénue to television starlet amid a constellation of delightful characters.
Insightful and humorous, Nick Hornby's Funny Girl does what he does best: endears us to a cast of characters who are funny if flawed, and forces us to examine ourselves in the process."
Just Finished:
Summer Sisters by Judy Blume
This was a super quick read for me. I read it in about five hours on the lake. I loved reading Judy Blume when I was younger, so I'm so excited to read the rest of her adult fiction novels!
Goodreads Excerpt:
"In the summer of 1977, Victoria Leonard's world changed forever—-when Caitlin Somers chose her as a friend. Dazzling, reckless Caitlin welcomed Vix into the heart of her sprawling, eccentric family, opening doors to a world of unimaginable privilege, sweeping her away to vacations on Martha's Vineyard, a magical, wind-blown island where two friends became summer sisters...
Now, years later, Vix is working in New York City. Caitlin is getting married on the Vineyard. And the early magic of their long, complicated friendship has faded. But Caitlin has begged Vix to come to her wedding, to be her maid of honor. And Vix knows that she will go—for the friend whose casual betrayals she remembers all too well. Because Vix wants to understand what happened during that last shattering summer. And, after all these years, she needs to know why her best friend—her summer sister—still has the power to break her heart..."
Up Next:
Argo by Antonio J. Mendez
The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg
The Nest by Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney
I added Argo to my up next list because I picked it up from my neighborhood's little book library while I was on a walk the other day. There hasn't been any interesting adult or young adult books, but Argo caught my eye.
Follow along with what I'm reading/what I've read this summer by following my Goodreads account, here.
Currently Wanting:
I've been needing new court shoes and these by Adidas are catching my eye.
I noticed the other day that my closet is lacking colorful sandals, so I'm currently loving sandals like these.
