NEW Trash Recommends Google Doc: this is a new living document that I will update with new products that I love. Right now, it’s all the skincare recs I have as of 05/31/2024 but let me know if you’d want me to include other things!!
This is my newest romantasy obsession (romance + fantasy). It’s ACOTAR mixed with Divergent, Twilight, and The Hunger Games. Do you miss having a team to be on like Team Edward or Team Jacob? Well, may I introduce you to King Oro and Grimshaw - Isla’s two love interests. The tension is palpable. The sexy scenes are SEXY. The lore is easy to follow. This book is a part of a three book series - Nightbane, the sequel, is OUT NOW, but Skyshade doesn’t come out until November 2024. I will be sitting and waiting until then. Feral. I am #TeamGrim (I’m sorry).
Book: Devotions by Mary Oliver
If you are looking for something fun to switch things up in your reading journey, may I recommend Mary Oliver’s collection of poetry. I included a short one below for you to get a little taste — “What Gorgeous Thing”
Book: Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J. Maas (from the Throne of Glass series)
Everyone I know who has read this series has said it has changed their life. It has certainly changed mine. I am dreading finishing this book, as it is the last in the series, but I have heard whispers that perhaps Sarah J. will revisit these characters later in her future books. Fingers crossed!
Unfortunately I am in love with these three little white boys. I was obsessed with their debut EP Nothing Happens (2019). Their newest album, Model, is really easy to listen to and the perfect spring-to-summer music. My current favorite tracks are Your Apartment and Bad Dream.
Song: Like I Say (I runaway) by Nilüfer Yanya
Queen Nilüfer has done it again - fed us, clothed us, provided for us, and loved us. Her new single came out last month, and it’s the perfect cool girl jam. I hope to get tickets to her tour this year — and my friend Lutalo is opening for her at the Metro in October!!!
