soo if anyone wants to listen to the music Neil Perry (and me) listen to, go ahead and put those ones on. it's canon that Neil listens to them.

The Guest List by Lucy Foley [X]

I really enjoyed this audiobook. A picture perfect high-achieving couple is getting married on a remote Irish island. The bride’s side has complicated family dynamics and everyone is harboring a secret it seems. The groom’s side is comprised of his friends from an intense boarding school they attended as children. Everyone seems happy for the couple, but then something horrifying happens at the wedding. The audiobook was well narrated and I’d love similar recommendations if you have any.

review:

“But it’s all about the moment, a wedding. All about the day. It’s not really about the marriage at all, in spite of what everyone says.”

what the fuck did i just read??? this was so much false advertising?? the blurb made me think that this would be something like and then there were none or glass onion but this was just... a complete snoozefest.

none of the plot twists hit the way the author thought they would. in fact, stephen's is the only plot twist i didn't see coming. everything else, and i mean everything else was insanely predictable. god what a waste.

i was rooting for this book so hard because i desperately wanted to read a fun little mystery. alas...

do me a favour, just read a heavy spoiler-y goodreads review or something instead of reading the actual book. you'll save yourself so much time.

July 2023 Wrap Up

July was a great month. We had a wonderful weeklong vacation in Gloucester, MA with my in-laws, celebrated the two year anniversary of adopting our cats, and got to spend plenty of time with friends. I certainly can't complain about my summer so far!

Books Read: 15

Look at me go! My favorite new read was The Travelling Cat Chronicles, which is now my favorite book of the year. I also learned upon rereading Mansfield Park that I actually really like it. And of course I had a great time rereading my ultimate comfort books: the All for the Game series. My least favorite was Snapshots of a Daughter-in-Law, which I found completely disappointing. I like Rich's prose works a lot, but her poetry doesn't agree with me. Books marked with ® are rereads.

Look, I have things here! I've started posting book photos again, and I'm having a lot of fun with it. There are also some lovely pictures of the cats taken at the kennel where they boarded during our vacation. I highly recommend checking them out because my boys are adorable (and clearly I'm not biased at all).

161 by The Guest List

Date: October 9, 2024

Dear Song,

I still remember when I first listened to that song—“161” by The Guest List. It was a rainy afternoon, and I had just returned home after a long day. The sound of raindrops against the window created a perfect backdrop as I settled into my favorite chair, wrapped in a soft blanket.

As the opening notes filled the room, I was immediately transported. The melody had a warmth that felt familiar, almost like a hug. I closed my eyes and let the lyrics wash over me. Each line resonated deeply, evoking memories of late-night conversations with friends, laughter echoing through dimly lit rooms, and moments that felt both fleeting and eternal.

I could picture the faces of those I’ve shared my life with—each smile, each story woven into the fabric of my own experiences. The song became a soundtrack to my nostalgia, reminding me of connections that have shaped me, even when distance pulled us apart.

By the time the final notes faded, I was left in a contemplative silence, filled with gratitude for the memories and the people who made them special. That day marked the beginning of a deep appreciation for the song, a piece of art that captures the essence of longing and connection in a way that feels timeless.

See you, next time.
