Hi, lovelies. Here’s my month in books, movies, television, games, and podcasts.
Books
“I realize I want to hear my voice and only mine. Not the voice of my voice within a cacophony of old pains. Just min, now.”
Jenny Slate’s Little Weirds is a strange and beautiful book, one that feels like a blending of poetry and memoir. The series of vignettes in this collection encapsulate small moments, dreams, or deep emotional experiences, for which Slate layers imagery and sound in a beautiful cacophony of weirdly wonderful passages. It’s one of those rare books in which I found myself drawn to underlining favorite pages, or rereading phrases to taste them over again. It’s a book that came to me at the perfect moment.
“I look up to you because I love the heavenly bodies of the universe, and the way I see it, your heart is a planet.
Your heart is factually a part of the universe, which is a miracle of endless force and boundless beauty.
There is literally no way that you are not a part of that.”
