summer time blues

@a_canny_lass and I may have joined a hockey team but we’re still costume-loving textiles nerds at heart! Hence: Halloween on ice! Dang, am I glad we joined a team with a sense of humor haha. We had a Waldo, a T-Rex, a very realistic bear- and were coached by our very own Tiger-corn, @frozen.zebra ! ❄️ 🐅 🦄 🐻 🦖 ⛸ My Paul Bunyan costume features a handmade, button-down, buffalo check jersey (I drafted that stand collar by eye! ❤️🖤), hiking boot skate covers w/ real metal grommets, a hand knit hat to cover my helmet and a lush and luxurious beard 🧔. Babe the Big Blue Ox was my linemate, OBVS. Happy Halloween, everyone!! #HalloweenOnIce #besttimeoftheyear #creativecostumes #handmadehockeygear #wecontainmultitudes #newhobbiesmeetoldhobbies https://www.instagram.com/p/BphYA1IgruG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=100naal9i1o40

Happy Saturday! I’m finally home from running errands 😁 • • We Contain Multitudes by Sarah Hentra was such an amazing read and I’m glad I picked it up 💙 • • Jonathan Hopkirk and Adam "Kurl" Kurlansky are partnered in English class, writing letters to one another in a weekly pen pal assignment. With each letter, the two begin to develop a friendship that eventually grows into love. But with homophobia, bullying, and devastating family secrets, Jonathan and Kurl struggle to overcome their conflicts and hold onto their relationship...and each other. This rare and special novel celebrates love and life with engaging characters and stunning language, making it perfect for fans of Jandy Nelson, Nina LaCour, and David Levithan. • • • • #wecontainmultitudes #sarahhenstra #lgbt #contemporaryromance #fiction #ya #littlebrownbooks (at Hogwarts Express) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0thSdWgaCP/?igshid=7j1xy3np22vi

“A word kept flashing in my head. One word, over and over, like a flashing neon sign. Lucky. I don’t know how to describe it, Jo. Lucky lucky lucky. My whole body wanted to crawl inside your whole body, just to share all this luckiness with you.” – We Contain Multitudes, Sarah Henstra⠀ .⠀ ✉️ All I can say about this book is that I loved it. Thank you @thenovl for sending me an arc of this amazing story! There is a quote in the book where Jo says to Kurl, “You undid me.” And that’s what this book did to me - it undid me. Kurl and Jo are two teens assigned as semester-long pen pals in English class. Watching these two boys reveal their vulnerabilities to each other inch by inch until they became unlikely friends and then to lovers made my heart feel like bursting. It was just so beautiful. You felt it in your bones that these two had a deep soul connection. The romance was just heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. I still need to write my review but I haven’t processed all my thoughts and feelings yet.⠀ .⠀ ✉️ I don’t know why but it’s always harder for me to write a review the more I love it. And I loved We Contain Multitudes so much. Honestly, it might be my favorite book I’ve read this year. 🙀 Something about it really moved me. If you like books like Call Me By Your Name and I’ll Give You the Sun you may love this. . #QOTD: Did you ever have a pen pal? I kind of had one. In middle school, my friend and I would had a journal where we would write to each other and pass it back and forth. Even though we saw each other every day! . . ✨ Reminder: my giveaway is ending tonight - Sunday, June 23 at 11:59 pm PST.

Have you guys read We Contain Multitudes yet? I recieved this arc from PRHC Canada at their recent teen event and I'm so happy about it. This book feels so real and that's probably the best thing about it. Also the writing was so so beautiful! Now I've added Mad Miss Mimic and The Red Word onto my TBR because I need all of Sarah Henstra's writing that I can get (also did you know she's a prof at Ryerson University?! Go Toronto based authors!) Can you tell I'm excited? • Cue the maelstrom of hashtags: #wecontainmultitudes #sarahhenstra ##lgbtbooks #yalovin #bookstagram #bibliophile #booknerd #bookaholic #bookgram #bookstagram #bookphotography #bookworm #bookstagramfeature #book #bookish #aesthetic #vsco #booklovers #bookdragon #bookcommunity #bookblogger #beautifulbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/BynWuuAgu8a/?igshid=7i0o6amw4n4j
