I’m not sure how to describe December for me, it was messy. I feel like I describe every month lately as messy; life is messy!
Books/Movies/T.V./Music
Books Read:
My True Love Gave to Me: Twelve Holiday Stories Edited by Stephanie Perkins
Vivian Apple at the End of the World by Katie Coyle
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
Since You’ve Been Gone by Morgan Matson
The Girl is Murder by Kathryn Miller Haines
Favorite Book This Month:
T.V.
I finally finished Grey’s Anatomy (at least the seasons that they have on Netflix). Thank GOD! I really didn’t like that show, but I was addicted. Other than that, I mostly watched Criminal Minds and HGTV. I did sort of start American Horror Story, but I wasn’t really interested in it.
Movies
I watched Dead Poets Society by myself (my parents had already seen it so they fell asleep), and let me just tell you, never watch that movie by yourself. It was so beautiful-ugh. I saw Unbroken in theaters with my family earlier this week; it was a amazing. Other than that, my mom and I are just keeping up with our annual tradition of watching all of the Harry Potter movies; so far we’re through Stone, Chamber, and Prisoner.
Music
Other than holiday music and the playlists in Since You’ve Been Gone I haven’t really listened to a ton of music this month. Other than Hozier’s “Church”.
