These are a few of my favorite [July] things.

My Top 10 Most-Listened-To Songs

I have no idea if these are in order, other than the top 2 definitely being the top 2; I've essentially had them on repeat.

1. Hum Hallelujah by Fall Out Boy "I thought I loved you, and it's just how you looked in the light."
   

2. Thriller by Fall Out Boy "Fix me in 45."
   

3. Paper Doll by John Mayer "You're like 22 girls in one, And none of them know what they're running from. Was it just too far to fall ... For a little paper doll?"
   

4. Gale Song by The Lumineers "An oh, this too shall pass. This loneliness won't last."
   

5. Call It What You Want by Taylor Swift "My castle crumbled overnight. I brought a knife to a gunfight. They took the crown, but it's alright. All the liars are calling me one. Nobody's heard from me for months. I'm doing better than I ever was."
   

6. 91 by Bleachers "Just like her, I'm not home And I'm here, but I'm not."
   

7. BRIGHTSIDE by The Lumineers "You were tired of Tacoma I was tirеd of believing we were right Losing every other friend Finding nothing in the afterlife."
   

8. Thinkin' bout Love by Wild Rivers "It's kinda like a light went off And now you're dead set on givin' me up."
   

9. Wild Heart by Bleachers "To think everything must die For anyone to matter Got to find any way to your wild heart I will find any way to your wild heart I will find any way"
   

10. All That We Are by Blue October "I feel you right next to me The sound of your heartbeat what keeps me awake Oh baby just as you are God, you're a sight to see And every part of me is wanting you more."

Alright, so this playlist is quite depressing, but whatever.

What I watched.

I basically binge watched the first two seasons of Ted Lasso, and I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS SHOW ENOUGH. 11/10.

And per usual, I watched a shit ton of AVP volleyball and Chopped.

The last book I read: Wish You Were Here by Jodi Picoult.

Synopsis: Diana O'Toole is perfectly on track. She will be married by thirty, done having kids by thirty-five, and move out to the New York City suburbs, all while climbing the professional ladder in the cutthroat art auction world. She's not engaged just yet, but she knows her boyfriend, Finn, a surgical resident, is about to propose on their romantic getaway to the Galápagos—days before her thirtieth birthday. Right on time

But then a virus that felt worlds away has appeared in the city, and on the eve of their departure, Finn breaks the news: It's all hands on deck at the hospital. He has to stay behind. You should still go, he assures her, since it would be a shame for all of their nonrefundable trip to go to waste. And so, reluctantly, she goes.

Almost immediately, Diana's dream vacation goes awry. The whole island is now under quarantine, and she is stranded until the borders reopen. Completely isolated, she must venture beyond her comfort zone. Slowly, she carves out a connection with a local family when a teenager with a secret opens up to Diana, despite her father's suspicion of outsiders.

Diana finds herself examining her relationships, her choices, and herself—and wondering if when she goes home, she too will have evolved into someone completely different.

My rating: 4/5. I enjoyed this book. I did not love it. I thought it started a bit slow, but I could strongly relate to the main character. It definitely picked up speed about 1/3 of the way through, and then I finished it in one sitting.
