Thanks for the tags @sawymredfox @time-for-my-weekly-spanking and @milla-frenchy 🩶

I’m just now realizing they’re all brunette like me 😍

Thanks for the tag. It was really hard to pick only 5.

Dana Scully. Literally wrote about my desire to be like her in my application to grad school. The Scully Effect is very real.

Olivia Dunham. My badass, take-no-shit queen.

Mazikeen. The demon with a heart of gold.

Tulip O’hare. Both the tv and comic version of her are amazing, but I have a deep, unabashed crush on Ruth Negga.

Dana Evans. Give that woman a cigarette, she’s earned it.

fun! okay, let's go with...

Olivia Pope. (I can't get GIFs to load, so we'll just have to use our imaginations lol.) A complicated, capable woman with an appetite who is also a Black woman? Come on now!

Miranda Hobbs. Wickedly smart, loyal as can be, hard-working, and ultimately, committed to humanitarian causes.

Lorelai Gilmore. Sharp-witted, independent, loving, and stubborn. Fun to watch as a stress buster.

Denise Huxtable. Curious, creative, freewheeling Bohemian with a serious sense of style.

Rainbow Johnson. Embarrassingly eager to be seen as likable and accomplished--so much so that it somehow is endearing. Is, indeed, accomplished. Hands-on family woman who nonetheless maintains her own identity and tends to her career...

Beth Pearson from This is Us (2016 - 2022)

early autumn mornings are a whole vibe. people bundled up in their coats and scarves, walking their dogs or getting their coffee, empty libraries and beautiful colors, my favorite time of the day🤍

A rosy view of Oxford from the upper level of a double-decker bus 🚌. I’m getting off in a moment to read a magical manuscript in the Bodleian 💫!

Studying for my first midterm, History.

I'm really nervous, but I worked hard the entire year, and I know it will pay off.

Starting my personalized summer reading challenge! (June 8 to Aug 8)

My local library got rid of its adult summer reading program 🥲 so I decided to create a personalized reading program for me and still give back to my community 🥰

Below are the 2 ways I'll be tracking my progress (It has some repeats bc I know I'll need the guardrails lol 🤦🏾‍♀️ )

1st, a reading log. My goal is to read at least 60 minutes every week.

Every week that I do this gives me +5 points.

2nd, a bingo activity card. This is to give me new ideas about finding books or collections to read.

Each time I complete a bingo square, I get +10 points. (A full completed row is +50 points).

To incentivize me during this challenge but also give back to my community, I have three prize ideas I'll "give" to myself during the following intervals:

Prize 1 - Awarded upon the completion of the first full week of reading 60 minutes/achieving +5 points

Prize 2 - Awarded at the halfway point of the challenge (July 8). I need to have achieved at least +20 points by this point

Prize 3 - Awarded at the end of the challenge (August 8). I need to have achieved at least +45 points by this point

Stay tuned! I'll be posting my progress here!

Are you doing a summer reading program this year? 👀
