So I am trying to start something this year which is to read at least one book every month. And for the month of January, I read Love and Other Words by Christina Lauren which was recommended to me by a friend. Tried my best to relay my thoughts coherently regarding the book. It was a good read and a light plot (not really) to start off this goal of mine this 2023.
I really love the authors’ words in this book.
I remember the way he would hug her when he got home from work. He would wrap his arms all the way around her shoulders, press his face into her hair while his body curved over hers. His arms became a set of parentheses bracketing the sweetest secret phrase.
I really adore the father’s love for the mother and vice versa. It was something so ethereal which made me crave for something like that for my own—to experience a love that is booming, roaring, vociferous bellow. The words used were neither tender nor delicate to associate with the word ‘love’ but in that sentence, it described perfectly a love that one aches for.
in tgwdlm when Hidge tells the group to sing the beginning of moana, Paul is the only one who knows it. Like, they're all singing but Emma is joining halfway through each sentence and Ted is just jumping in with "ho ho" and Bill has made up an entirely new song.
it's actually really funny to watch them each individually so I captioned the video but also why does Paul know it???

[ID: A lineless digital drawing of the final scene in the guy who didn’t like musicals. Paul is reaching out to Emma, smiling softly as he reaches for her hand. Emma is frozen, with a look of fear on her face as she stares blankly downwards. The background is dark blue with small turquoise dots of varying size, and a musical staff with notes and rests witten on it winds through the middle of it. /End ID]
