Welcome to Read, Shake, Appreciate! This is your fortnightly round-up of words that made me feel inspired, songs that made me shake my ass, and people who I think deserve some spotlight. This week I’m reading: Dietland by Sarai Walker Dietland was probably the first novel I read with a fat protagonist and a storyline grounded in body liberation and feminism. I recommended it to everyone and was so pumped when it become a TV series. Last week I decided to take it off the shelf, bracing myself for it to not have necessarily aged all too well (all the body related movements have grown so much in the last handful of years). Turns out, it’s still fucking brilliant. And I would still recommend it to just about everyone (here I am, doing exactly that!).
Thank you as always for sharing this and ESPECIALLY for reminding us to go easy and rest. I know I tend not to — and this weekend is the first time I’ve done it in awhile. Make sure you do the same, love 💕

"Go easy this weekend - you're allowed to let go of what's been weighing you down during the week and rest. 🌱"
