Hello everyone!
I really wanted to write a post where i look back on the past month and tell you guys what i have been loving/enjoying or what has been making me happy. I guess these post are going to be a kind of monthly favourites.
October is normally my favourite month but this year it seemed to drag on a bit but nevertheless there were definitly some things that made me happy this month. I hope you are ready for a lot of rambling and coming across quite a few sentences in brackets.
Enjoy! :)
Music// James Arthur's album
Back From The Edge came out at the end of October, but I am still going to include it in this post because I have been listening to it non-stop, especially the last few days of October just after the album came out. I love his style and i can honestly say I love all the songs on the album. Then again after the amazing song Say You Won't Let Go, could we really expect anything else?
I am a massive fan of Little Mix ( I am most definitely a Little Mixer ) and the girls released their single 'Shout Out To My Ex' this month, I am pretty sure most of you will have heard the song and it is an absolute jam right? So that song has also been on repeat this month.
Books// I only managed to finish one book this month, at that was a book that I actually
had to finish because it was for school. I read
Black Swan Green by
David Mitchell. I did really enjoy this novel as it was a coming of age story, which I tend to really enjoy. So even though it was a book i had to read for school, it was definitely one of those books that i would read for pure enjoyment. The book is about a 13-year-old boy living in an English village and how he matures and develops better relationships with his family members over the course of a year.
My birthday// I am slightly ashamed of the fact that I wrote this bit after I finished the whole blogpost, but i kind of forgot it was my birthday this month? I did have a nice day and I got some lovely presents and had some very nice food. I turned 19 and whenever i say that (or type in this case) i feel very old.
Trips away// I would literally forget to mention this even though I took the photo above during this little trip away. Me and my parents went to Canterbury for two nights this month it was kind of a birthday shopping trip, even though it is obviously not on our doorstep. I bought quite a lot (oops) and had a lovely time!
My next favourite is probably a bit of a strange one but probably my most favourite favourite!
Super Soap Week // This month has been crazy when it comes to soaps. I have been watching hollyoaks and coronation street for a while now, and i occasionally watched Emmerdale. I did follow the storyline of two of (
if not) the most popular characters on Emmerdale (Robert and Aaron) but I didn't watch the show every weekday. But that all changed didn't it? I knew exciting things were coming up on the soap and I think I started watching it every night somewhere at the beginning of September. Then Super Soap Week happened ( 17-21 of October) and i am honestly so glad that I watched that week. It was absolutely amazing and not to mention very gripping. Needless to say I am now absolutely obsessed with Emmerdale (I would probably say it is my favourite out of the three I watch) and now i watch it every night.
Social Media // This is probaly also a bit of a weird favourite, don't worry i haven't just discovered social media! But I could probably say that I have re-discovered certain social media websites. All this has also to do with Emmerdale. I have followed many 'fanaccounts' on twitter and on tumblr and would definitely consider myself to be part of that fandom. I have definitely spent half the month on tumblr and espically twitter which sounds sad but has in fact made me incredibly happy!
(I am aware of the fact that for you readers that don't watch Emmerdale the last part has made no sense at all, i'm really sorry I just really love my soaps) :)
What made you happy in the month October? Let me know!
Thank you very much for reading!
xoxo
