Happy Fall!!!! Earlier this year, I decided to make an effort to take stock of the little things that bring me happiness – even if only for a moment. So I compiled a few things that have done just that for me recently.
Of course it wouldn’t be a blog post unless I added some photos of flowers. I found these surprise flowers in our garden. They bloomed just before the rain showers last week.
📖 After entering a bunch of giveaways over on Goodreads, I got lucky and won a copy of Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro. 😆 The texture of this book also feels so nice I wish you could feel it.
I’ve been fighting my reading slump tooth and nail, but in September I finally got through a book longer than 100 pages. Fingers crossed I can keep it up, because there are plenty of tales I’ve been dying to dive into. 🤞🏾
What I’m Watching:
📺 Currently I’m enjoying a lot of shows (and probably starting too many new ones 😅). As expected I am watching all the fantasies. House of the Dragon and Rings of Power are my top political fantasies and epic fantasies respectively. Let me declare myself as Team Black while we’re at it. I’m also loving The Serpent Queen which follows Catherine De Medici’s rise to power with a format that is different from other historical/period dramas I’ve seen. And I couldn’t forget to mention my comfort show Abbott Elementary, which follows a group of teachers in Philly.
🎥 I also watched Wedding Season after a friend recommended it. It’s a super cute movie about a couple fake dating during the wedding season to avoid being set up by their families. I also saw Do Revenge, which felt like a new spin/love letter to teen movies from the 90s and early 2000s.
