Things I've Loved in February




Movies:
1. In Your Eyes: So good! So cute! Thanks to Jamie at Perpetual Page Turner for posting it on her own monthly review.

2. Baawat-e-Ishq: I don't watch a lot of Bollywood movies, so I don't know how good this is quality-wise, but I loved it! A girl who is tired of having guys ask her father for exorbitant dowrys (which are illegal anyway but still frequently required for marriages), decides to fool a suitor into believing her father and her are very rich and to give them a dowry. The plan is to blackmail them into giving them the dowry in order to drop the lawsuit, and then Gullu and her father can go to America. Of course, nothing goes according to plan.

It was really interesting watching this movie because a lot of it is in, I'm guessing, Hindi, but a lot of words are also stolen from the English language and Gullu loves speaking English too. So you definitely have to read the subtitles, but there are also parts that are understandable to English speakers.

3. A Christmas Kiss: Yes, I watched a Christmas themed movie in February. But it was so cute! It was the perfect amount of cheesy and heart-warming.  It just made me keep smiling,  and it's a little ridiculous and insta-matchy but I still really enjoyed it.

**And yes, I accidentally posted this without finishing writing it, oops! Here's the rest...**

TV Shows:
1. How to Get Away with Murder: It came back and it's already done for the season! I can't believe it. I'm so obsessed with this show.

2. Friends: My roommate and I have been watching this since Netflix released the seasons January 1, but I feel like this month we watched even more.

3. X-Files: Another one my roommate and I have been working through, this has been big for us this month.

4. Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries: We've been watching this via screenshare with another friend, and it's so good! But we have to match up our schedules, so that's been rough. Can't wait to finish season 2 soon!

Books:
1. Obsessed with a few illustrators that I recently found through class: Shane Evans, Cybele Young and Oliver Jeffers.

2. Finished the Hunt Records with Mastiff, which let me down hard.

3. Right in the middle of the Daughter of Smoke & Bone series by finished Days of Blood & Starlight

Other Things:

1. Grey matte nail polish! I have no idea why, but I love it.

2. Nature box: got my trial two days ago, and I've almost eaten everything in the box. So yummy!!

3. Taylor Swift and Elle King: basically been listening to these two on repeat.

I can't believe this month has already finished! My beautiful friend Melissa and her delightful boyfriend (also my friend) Steve are moving out here this week, and I could not be more excited!! I also have spring break, so maybe I'll have a chance to explore the Boston area--although it still definitely does not feel like spring yet. It seems like the weather is finally getting warmer though yay!

How was your February lovelies? Let me know in the comments!

Blarghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Hello lovelies. I'm feeling super overwhelmed by life since I'm doing Camp Nanowrimo and trying to move and find a place to live 2600 miles away. So that's my excuse for missing last week. But now you get two weeks in a row. So this week's theme (hosted as always by The Broke and the Bookish ) is... Top Ten Favorite Movies   (And I picked Scary Movies) I have a secret. Or I guess I had a secret. And that secret is that I love  scary movies. Like anything that plays on gross special effects or melting walls or sudden appearances--I'm totally down for it. (This has only back fired on me once--when I had a panic attack watching Saw 2--I don't wanna talk about it...) So in no particular order, movies that really impressed me with their scare factors: 1. Thir13een Ghosts -- there's this scene with a glass door that is ingrained in my brain.  2. Haunting in Conneticut -- aw man, this movie is sooo good. I actu...

Give Me a Little Love

Hello Lovelies!! Today we're going to talk about love and romance in books This is going to be kind of tricky for me because while I love book romances (see what I did there?), I have a hard time articulating things I like and don't like about them. So I think I'm going to split this into two categories: likes and dislikes.  1. Love: Slow-builds. Give me all the scenes where they gently flirt, and smile at each other, and watch each other out of the corner of their eyes.  2. Hate: Moving too quickly. I understand there are only so many pages, and a lot of other things need to happen, but if they met yesterday and they're getting married or exchanging I love yous, it's moving too fast for me. Build in some time!! 3. Love: Meet-cutes! I know lots of people will be like, but how can you love both slow-builds and meet-cutes, and to them, I say, BECAUSE I CAN. But really, if you bump into each other while holding hot coffee, or hold the subway door o...

Oops I Didn't Catch Them All

Hello Lovelies! Another Top Ten Tuesday? On Tuesday? It's almost like it's Winter Break still or something.  This week's theme is... Top Ten 2014 Debuts I Missed Breakfast Served Anytime by Sarah Combs:  This novel about a young girl attending a gifted and talented camp seemed to drift under the radar, but I still want to read it.  Avalon by Mindee Arnett : A sci-fi novel that got a lot of press pre-release, but didn't make a big splash afterwards. I want to know if it's as Firefly-esque as the comparisons that were made. Even in Paradise by Chelsey Philpot: Jamie  really liked this one, and it sounds like a good read! Falling Into Place by Amy Zhang: Multiple perspectives and a heart-wrenching storyline--seems right up my alley. Let's Get Lost by Adi Alsaid: Most people I know who read this loved it. I just didn't get around to it. Far From You by Tess Sharpe: I saw this on a lot of GLBTQ positive posts, ...
