thank you so much for the tag, Anya my love @just-in-case-iloveyou !! 🥰��💕

January: Lydia Wears A Cross - Julia Jacklin

i’d be a believer, if it was all just song and dance

i’d be a believer, if i thought we had a chance

February: A Night On The Floor - Inhaler

all you dreamers, who dream in bed

where are you going when you lay your head?

all you mothers can’t believe their eyes

pull up the covers and make it a night on the floor, with you all night

March: Berlin - Adult Mom

sit in the car parked in the dark, hearing rain drop on the roof

(in the dark, in the dark, in the dark)

and it’s the sole burden of our excuse

the push and pull, the missed call, the waiting room

April: Night Shift - Lucy Dacus

you’ve got a 9 to 5, so i’ll take the night shift

and i’ll never see you again if i can help it

in five years i hope these songs feel like covers

dedicated to new lovers

May: Life Worth Missing - Car Seat Headrest

fall over the edge

learn to live while falling

every laugh is a path worth following

June: Sugar - Surf Curse

my god, you are such a looker

tell me you love me and give me some sugar

July: Yam Yam - No Vacation

sitting by my side, i hope you’re here to stay

i won’t turn away, won’t turn away, won’t turn away

August: I Was Neon - Julia Jacklin

i was neon, i was the nearest door

i was the sign that said you’ve been here before

i swear i could see it, swear i could see it all so clear

September: Cut My Hair - Sun Room

those blonde days, reckless ways

on my mind

cut my hair, i don’t care

out of time

October: It Hurts Until It Doesn’t - Mothers

i felt your love for a little while

but never had the guts to give myself up

i said that i could be just what you wanted

as if i could ever keep a promise

November: What Baking Can Do - Jessie Mueller, Waitress Original Broadway Cast Ensemble

even doubt can be delicious

and it washes off all of the dirty dishes, when it’s done

i can smile, it’s on someone else’s plate for a while

December: Little Death - The Beths

your smile it makes me weak, and the red spreads to my cheeks

you make me feel three glasses in

and you say my name, my legs support a little less

my tongue becomes a little mess

i don’t really know what this says about what’s to come for my 2024 haha, but this was a lot of fun 🥹

My media this week (17-23 Dec 2023)

shout out to matt rogers for this delightful new entry to the xmas song canon

📚 STUFF I READ 📚

🥰 Bookshops & Bonedust (Legends & Lattes #0) (Travis Baldree, author & narrator) - prequel novel of Viv's much younger days - just as fun and cozy as Legends & Lattes

🥰 Hashtag Soulmates (everwitch) - 44K, RWRB AU - deliberately tropetastic sort-of meta fic where Henry's a fanfic writer & Alex is one of his biggest fans and they work together but don't know it. Hard to explain but fun to read. Good stuff on the nature of fanfic; also hilarious bits where it walks right up to the crackfic line but doesn't go over. I really enjoyed reading something the author so clearly had a blast writing.

😊 In the Form of a Question: The Joys and Rewards of a Curious Life (Amy Schneider, author & narrator) - entertaining read

😍 Tommy Cabot Was Here (The Cabots #1) (Cat Sebastian) - reread, novella; just really in a mood to reread in this universe! Hadn't read this since I read Daniel's book, so it was fun to see him guest star as a 12 yr old

😍 Peter Cabot Gets Lost (The Cabots #2) (Cat Sebastian) - reread; I love all the Cabots but this one is my #1 fave by a smidge. The grumpy/sunshine is *chef's kiss*!

😍 Daniel Cabot Puts Down Roots (The Cabots #3) (Cat Sebastian) - reread; Alex & Daniel are actually dating but too oblivious (and busy pining in silence) to realize it. I love these dumbasses.

😍 Luke and Billy Finally Get a Clue (The Cabots #3.5) (Cat Sebastian) - reread, set in the Cabots 'verse but with no Cabots in sight. Just two baseball boys pulling their heads out of their asses and figuring out what they mean to one another.

💖💖 +102K of shorter fic 💖💖
