Well, reflecting on September all I can think about is school, school, and more school.  My brains are spilling out.

Books/Movies/T.V./Music

-I read 9 books in September.  Gahhhh that is so bad.  I miss reading! 🙁

-I’ve been spending some time at this new local bookstore that I’m going to be helping out in

-Favorite Book This Month:

ava lavender

-T.V. wise it’s been mostly re-watching the last season of How I met Your Mother and lots of Criminal Minds

-My phone is broken so I haven’t been able to listen to a ton of music this month, but I do love 8tracks. I’ve got some great playlists saved on there.

-Book Haul:
