Wow, I can’t believe that January is already over! This month absolutely flew by for me, what about you guys?
Books/Movies/T.V./Music:
Books:
The Tales of Beedle and Bard by J.K.Rowling
The Impossible Knife of Memory by Laurie Halse Anderson
The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion
Favorite Read:
T.V.
After binging the newly added Friends on Netflix for about a week and half, I will be the first to admit it, I got burnt out. Since then, I haven’t really been watching that much T.V. or Netlix, everything has really been boring me! D:
Movies:
I saw Big Eyes and Unbroken in theaters, and they were both absolutely astonishing. There are plenty of movies that I wanted to see recently, (The Imitation Game comes to mind) but out of the two that I ended up seeing, I was not disappointed.
Music:
Other than jamming over TSwifts not-really-so-new album I’ve been pretty much exclusively listening to Megan Train’s “Lips Are Movin” song or whatever its called, and then listening/watching “Elastic Heart” by Sia.

I will always support goals that include fanfic. Just like you, fanfic has become my alternate netflix.
Also, as for The Imitation Game, I saw it (twice, no regrets) and boy was it beautiful. I think it’s been awhile since I cried in a movie theater, and that movie made me cry like a baby.
I think I can help out with one more goal. I am a blogger. Reach out to me. (that sounded like a command I’m sorry)
I’m glad to hear so much good about The Imitation Game!
Haha Maddy, of course I’ll reach out to you! I love making blogger connections.
I want to read Anderson’s book and The Rosie Project. 🙂 You did well in January! Happy February reading!
Happy February reading to you too!
What show are you doing that you are dancing in?
Oh just a musical production at my school, and I’m in all of the ensemble dance scenes.
Yayyy, thanks for the mention!! Oooh, are you going to be participating in Camp NaNoWriMo? I love that you set goals for every month, I may start doing this because it sounds like so much fun!!
