What a week for obsessions, folks, what a week! I found so many new things to love, it's not even funny! Whew! Let's get straight to it...
Books
Friends...I have found a new favorite book and that book would be Song of the Current by Sarah Tolcser! This book is a pirate-esque fantasy with a mixed race main character and loads of fun adventures and wow. I absolutely adored every second of it and you need to read this book! YOU NEED TO READ IT!!! *throws the book at your face and runs away*
Music
My man Macklemore is back at it again with the good music! I love his new song with Skyler Grey, "Glorious." It is...dare I say it...glorious? Okay, okay, I'll stop it with the bad dad jokes if you promise to go listen to this song...
Movies/TV
San Diego Comic Con 2017 has brought us our first peak at The 100 Season 5 with a new trailer. In the trailer, Clarke's young companion, Maddie, tells the story of The 100 all the way through the end of season 4 and a bit beyond! Squee!!! This trailer has me pumped and I can't wait to see what's to come!

Jenny Han's beloved book, To All Th Boys I've Loved Before is becoming a movie! And the main characters have already been casted! We got a note from Han on the subject (see above) and a picture of Lana Condor (who will be playing Lara-Jean Song-Covey), Janel Parrish (who will be playing Margot Song-Covey), and Anna Cathcart (who will be playing Kitty Song-Covey) all together (see below)!
When I saw @lanacondor @JanelParrish @CathcartAnna all together, my heart just burst. #toalltheboys pic.twitter.com/8fjLjsiq3d— Jenny Han (@jennyhan) July 21, 2017
