This month has mostly consisted with the start of school again, sigh. Oh and my blog moved, not like that’s a big deal or anything.
Books/Movies/T.V./Music:
- I read 10 books in July, which is sort of sad considering that it was half of my goal. I think that I probably overestimated my ability to read during all of the hecticness that happens at the beginning of the school year.
- I spent a lot of time at the library, mostly the one at school
- I saw Boyhood and The Giver. Boyhood was mesmerizing, even though it was long and my mom complained. The Giver perfectly captured the feel of the book even though it changed somethings. Gahhhh I was so happy.
- Favorite Book This Month:
- T.V. wise, thank god for Netflix! I’ve been watching a little bit more T.V. than I usually do because I knit while I watch T.V. and I’ve made a ton, and I mean a ton of progress on my Weasly Sweater
- My T.V. adventures mostly consisted of Criminal Minds, Doctor Who, and Vampire Diaries
- This month Taylor Swifts new song came out Shake it Off and I am so in love and dying to get my hands on her new album. Why do I have to wait until October?
