Music tells us to move, to dance… But when we are still ‘within’ music, we absorb all of its power. We are its container. Not every movement needs to go out into the world. We can keep some for ourselves. Contained. Powerful.

— Meg Howrey, They’re Going to Love You: A Novel (Doubleday, November 15, 2022) (via Alive on All Channels)

ALSO internet please witness this chain of books on my TBR because i'm Very Proud Of It:

1. just finished THE WANDERERS, which was about space and isolation and reality/simulation and family (winning at driscoll vibes), leads into:

2. HONEY GIRL, which counts because it's also contemporary/real world based and the MC just got her PhD in astronomy, which is Also Space, but it's about the existential crisis of ~navigating the messiness of adulthood~ (can i get a hell yes for more driscoll vibes), which will then take me to:

3. EARTHLINGS, which is about a girl who feels like she's been dropped into her family from an alien planet, mentions the word asexual on the back, and is gonna smudge dreamlike and contemporary, while also sticking with my space theme (can i get another hell yeah for driscoll vibes please), and when i'm done with that hopefully i'll have:

4. WALKING PRACTICE in hand, which is an actual alien but also c'mon literally it's eating people and pretending to be human and it's WALKING, so yes it also counts for driscoll vibes!!

anyway i'm doing a great job daisychaining my space books AAAND making them driscoll relevant over here!! will report back on how i like everything (wanderers was mostly very good!!)

I take responsibility after responsibility. I promise not to be a bother, a burden, a source of guilt. I'm good at assuring people I won't need anything from them, and for a while doing so makes me feel pretty great about myself.

Jealousy blooms in my chest. It really blooms: I can feel petals unfurling, a prickly stem snaking down my sternum.

[Ti ameranno][Meg Howrey]

Ti ameranno di Meg Howrey è un romanzo bellissimo, potente ed elegante sul mondo della danza classica e sul rapporto tra un padre e una figlia, illuminando di volta in volta i suoi protagonisti di una luce che permette loro di essere finalmente visti e am

Carlisle Martin è cresciuta immersa nella danza classica. Figlia di due celebri ballerini, Robert e Isabel, fin da piccola non ha conosciuto che quella devozione e quella fatica, il sudore alla sbarra, il profumo dei vestiti di scena, il dolore delle punte. Soprattutto ha imparato il controllo, sul suo corpo, sui suoi pensieri, sulle sue emozioni. Diventata grande in fretta e troppo alta per…

Books of 2023: THE WANDERERS by Meg Howrey. I’ve been interested in this one since it was released, but I didn’t want to pay New Hardback Prices for it at the bookstore where I worked at the time. So I waited, and eventually found the same new hardback for $8 (thanks, HPB!), and then proceeded to sit on it for Many More Moons, and now Here We Are and It Is Time™. Backlist Readers, Unite!!

"She's beautiful," Zoe says. "I can tell you're close. You're lucky."

Zoe's mother died a few years ago, a thing I already know. Women talk about mothers; it's practically the way we greet each other. I wouldn't say Isabel and I are "close" exactly, but you don't complain about living mothers to daughters of dead ones.

They're Going to Love You, by Meg Howrey.

Balanchine famously said there are no mothers-in-law in ballet. Meaning, it's not an art form suited for portraying complicated family relationships, or psychological subtleties. It's a place to get away from them, into a purer realm. Dance *is* very good on romantic love. Love is one of its best, easiest, most beautiful and wonderful expressions. The dive, the swoop, the swoon. (Dance is also excellent for anger, pride, and sorrow.)
