Current Favourites| CarenzaOnBooks

As I've been a bit of a bad blogger recently, I haven't posted my October Favourites and as December is 2 weeks, I don't see a point in posting it. So, I've decided to talk about some of my current favourites before I post my November favourites. I have picked 5 of my current favourites to talk about and have tried to pick things I wouldn't usually talk about in my favourites.

Pastel Highlighters

As someone who loves to highlight things in my college books, when I saw that Stabilo had released some pastel highlighters, I had to have them. I actually prefer them to the normal neon ones and wish they would release them in the skinny version I like. If you like to highlight things in your work, then I would strongly recommend these highlighters as they are beautiful.

Movie Soundtracks

I recently downloaded Spotify and through it, I have been listening to lots of movie soundtracks. My favourites are the Harry Potter soundtracks, the Amazing Spiderman and Amazing Spiderman 2 and Midnight in Paris. I find that I am listening to these soundtracks more than my normal taste in music, if you are looking for a new type of music to listen to, then try listening to some of your favourite movie soundtracks. 

Knitting

When I was little, my gran was a big knitter and was always knitting jumpers. She taught me when I was about 9, but I only just got around to picking it up again. It's really therapeutic and is very satisfying seeing something you are putting so much effort into becoming a real thing. I used to view knitting as an activity available to the older generation, but quite a few bookstagramers knit.

Pinafore Style Dresses

When it comes to my choices in fashion, I am not very adventurous. Last year, I bought two corduroy pinafore dresses and I've started wearing them again. I really like them, however, they are not appropriate for the weather this time of year. They're very autumnal and flattering, but I'm probably going to stop wearing them as it's freezing at the moment.

Modern Fiction

My two current reads are Life of Pi by Yann Martel and The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. I've only read a few books like them, but I'm really enjoying both of them at the moment. I'm currently not in the mood to read YA, so I'm trying to expand my reading tastes at the moment.

So that concludes my rather short current favourites. I have a feeling that posts are going to be rather sporadic as I am pressed for time with college and life being very stressful at the moment.
