as soon as exams are over, i get immediately happier. the sun is shining, i went out for a sandwich picnic with my partner yesterday and we played frisbee, and i’m listening to sugar ray and cake and rob zombie (always gets me in the summer mood). i’m volunteering at two music festivals this summer so i get to sit in the sunshine and listen to concerts for free. this summer is all about short shorts and cowboy hats and long hippie skirts and bringing my cd player to the park.
A novel about a Palestinian teacher in NYC slowly unraveling and getting involved in a Birkin bags scheme. First book this year I read in one sitting. Touching, weird, bleak, but funny and very real.
