Hey Everyone! Here is my reading list for the summer. I may add to it while I am in India, but this is the "golden goal" as of now! Lots of love to you all. Bryan darling, I hope you're having a wonderful time in Cairo (be safe, though) ; cannot wait to see you in August. And Emily, Victoria and Kim dears, SEE YOU this weekend.

I've been feeling all of you all day. Bryan -- Fleetfoxes guiding me as I wash the dishes and read and type and sing along, Victoria, as I transition into a summer vegetarian, or pescquetarian at the least, Emily because I bravely dealt with my my emerging facial 'womp-womps' (euphamism) and remembered to floss, and Kim because I read through my middle school reading response journals and smiled at my florid language and little middle school dreams.
The list, anyway, of course, ends at number ten.
Lots and Lots of Love,
Devika
i love you and your "ten"
