Summer Music Faves

 Hi, everyone! I really love music and, due to the warm weather, I've been spending a lot of time outside, listening to music, so I thought I'd tell you what I've been listening to lately + share some of my favorite songs at the moment. This isn't going to be every song/album that I've been listening to (because we'd be here for hours), just some of my favorites at the moment.

Espresso + Please Please Please-Sabrina Carpenter


Sabrina Carpenter has been releasing some absolute bangers lately (seriously, I can't get ''Espresso'' out of my head) and she's been getting more mainstream recognition, lately, which I'm super happy about. I've been a Sabrina fan for years and I'm glad that she's getting her flowers (plus I get to say that I knew her before she was famous, hehe). If you're looking for a fun summer bop, I highly recommend ''Espresso'' and ''Please Please Please''. 

Guts (spilled)-Olivia Rodrigo



I've been listening to Olivia since her debut album Sour and while I still love that album, I think she really step it up with Guts, which has become one of my favorite albums of all times----I think her vocals and songwriting have improved so much----and she was great to begin with. A few months ago, she released bonus tracks from Guts, and I'm obsessed with how many different styles she's been experimenting with in these songs. They're all such bops. 

Born To Die-Lana del Rey



Born to Die gives me majorrrrr summer vibes------in a sad, nostalgic kind of way. Lana has amazing vocals and I really love the vintage aesthetic she has going on + she's an excellent songwriter. All of the songs off of this album are pretty popular so I'm sure you've heard them, but I still think they're worth listening to. 

The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess-Chappell Roan






I don't think I've ever gotten more quickly obsessed with an artist than I have with Chappell Roan------I first heard of her a few months ago and she's already one of my favorite musicians. She has an absolutely stunning voice and she sure knows how to make a catchy pop song. I'm also obsessed with her aesthetic------it's very campy in the best possible way. Since I've had almost all of her songs on repeat, it's hard to pick a favorite but I have a soft spot for ''Red Wine Supernova''.

The Tortured Poets Department + Lover-Taylor Swift








Annnnddddd nobody is surprised by this, lol. I always listen to Lover a lot in the summer-----it's one of my favorite albums and it always gives me summer vibes, and, of course, I'm still obsessed with TTPD-----it's such a great album with so many amazing songs. 

The Hazbin Hotel soundtrack





I first watched Hazbin Hotel in April and, two months later, I'm STILL obsessed with the soundtrack. All of the songs are so catchy and I haven't been able to get them out of my head and I don't think there are any that I dislike-----they're all so good (although I think my favorite is ''Loser, Baby''). 

So, those are just a few of the songs that I've been obsessed with lately. Definitely let me know if you're familiar with any of these songs/artists and what songs you've been listening to this summer.

    I see Sabrina Carpenter, I immediately click on the post...
    I love Espresso and Please, Please, Please! I can't wait for the Short N' Sweet album and tour! I also regularly listen to a lot of Taylor Swift and Lana Del Rey.
    I've apparently been listening to mostly boybands/singers associated with boybands this summer. Whoops. xD

      Same! I'm so excited for Short N' Sweet, especially because Sabrina has been dropping banger after banger lately. And, of course, Taylor and Lana are perfect for every season.
      Welllll, boybands do seem to have a summer-y vibe, don't they?

    Hm, I cannot say I've heard many of these songs before... our music tastes are quite varying!😉
    I listened to Espresso though because I heard that it's one of this summer's most popular songs. It definitely has a catchy rhythm! I know all the Hazbin Hotel songs (they are GREAT) and most of Taylor Swift's songs, of which I usually prefer the more country/upbeat tracks. 🎶
    Hm, I don't usually have specific songs I return to each summer... Every few weeks I have a handful of songs/artists I'll listen to on loop until I go into a new phase. Recently for me it's been random songs from WILD, The Score, Within Temptation, and Delain. WILD totally doesn't fit with that dramatic mix, haha! 😄

      Yep, similar in some ways but very different in others!
      Espresso definitely is a catchy one! Yay, I love all the Hazbin songs and Taylor's music, of course.
      I don't think I've heard very many of those....I'll have to check them out!

August Recap

Hi, again. Basically I’m going to start doing a recap of each month. It’s popular among the blogging community. So, let’s see how August went. Posts Made in August Yeah, so there were quite a few made in August. My favorites were all of the chapters of my fanfic, doing my Q&A and answering all the awesome questions Diamond gave me. My most popular post this month was the answers to my Q&A Books Read In August Yeah, so I actually only read one book this month. Ideally, I would have read more but I enjoyed this one. 5/5 stars. It was very exciting and intriguing. Now, if only I could find the next two books in the series…… Best and Worst Book Read This Month Like I said earlier I only read one book so that’s my favorite. Movies & TV Shows Watched This Month Great movie, good music, way better plot than the second one. There were still some inconsistencies but overall it was very good. 4.5/5 stars. Hilarious movie. I mean, it is a comedy so it’s n

The Fandom Tag

 So, um, long time no see, right? I really did mean to write more blog posts and I don't really have a good excuse besides ''whoops.'' I've been feeling uninspired when it comes to blogging and I've been busy with other projects *cough* binge-watching Criminal Minds. Buuuuuut I'm back now and what better way to come back than with a tag?  Yes, I know I do a lot of tags. Work with me here.  Especially a tag about one of my favorite things ever: fandoms!  The Questions What's the first fandom that you remember joining? Harry Potter! I don't like JK Rowling as a person (we don't support transphobia here, folks), but those books were my entire childhood. I read and re-read the books, watched all the movies, played Harry Potter with my siblings......all that good stuff. What's the newest fandom you've come to enjoy? Welllllll......lately I've been absolutely obsessed with Hazbin Hotel ! When I say obsessed, I mean obsessively listening

Six Books With LGBTQIA+ Characters That You Should Add to Your TBR

Image
 Greetings, friends! So, June is Pride Month, and yet I haven't done any posts on it yet. I have one that's about writing LGBTQIA+ characters well, but that's sort of long and involved, so I'm starting with this.  This isn't really in any specific order, and they vary in genre quite a bit, so some books may appeal to you, and some might not. OK, onto the actual post. Disclaimer: All summaries are taken from Goodreads.  #1: These Witches Don't Burn by Isabel Sterling Summary: Hannah's a witch, but not the kind you're thinking of. She's the real deal, an Elemental with the power to control fire, earth, water, and air. But even though she lives in Salem, Massachusetts, her magic is a secret she has to keep to herself. If she's ever caught using it in front of a Reg [read: non-witch], she could lose it. For good. So, Hannah spends most of her time avoiding her ex-girlfriend [and fellow Elemental Witch], Veronica, hanging out with her best friend, and
