Beautyland by Marie-Helene Bertino
Oh Nelly! What a gorgeous, touching book about a woman who may or may not be an alien sent to scope out Earth to see if it's suitable for her home planet to relocate to. Adina is so easy to root for, and she made me appreciate Philly, where the book is partially set, and the weird quirks of being a human through her wry observations and attempts to communicate said quirks to her superiors.
Ashton Top pattern
Such a good pattern with a sleeve add-on (separate purchase) that can be pattern hacked into just about any top your heart desires. I've made Ganni dupes, dresses and casual tops with this pattern. The size range is great, and it's so easy to follow. A great foundational pattern that I reach for again and again!
Don't Leave Me This Way by Thelma Houston
Baby, my heart is full of love and desire for this song. Put it on and try not to dance, I dare you

"I sing the high notes with my arse." A movie so powerful Kiera Knightley didn't even take credit for her 2 second appearance at the opera academy.
