Books
The book I have loved the most this month has been Serpent and Dove by Shelby Mahurin. I genuinely can't remember the last time I fell in love with a book the way I have for Serpent and Dove. I saw lots of hype around it and the summary sounded really interesting. The characters were so good. The story was so good. I am actually dying waiting for the sequel. I am very tempted to reread it at some point because I loved it that much. If you are looking for a book about witches, then look no further. Also the characters are super sassy and relatable. I don't think I can find a single thing I disliked about this book and will be thinking about it for the rest of my days.
Culture
I have a lot of TV favourites this month. The first one is Catastrophe. It had been on my radar for a while, and as it was on Amazon Prime, I watched all 4 seasons. I thought it was really funny and charming. It has become one of my favourite TV shows and I will have to watch it again at some point. My next TV show favourite is one I have watched more times than I care to admit, but I do love Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Although season six was not my favourite, the other five never fail to put me in a good mood and make my day better. I cannot imagine my life without Brooklyn Nine-Nine anymore and I hate myself for it taking me so long to watch it. Something I am slowly making my way through it Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I'm hoping to finish season seven by the end of the year. Buffy is an idol and I adore Spike. Once I've finished watching it, I will have to continue with Angel.
My only non-TV culture favourite was a play I saw at the Bristol Old Vic. I saw Cyrano in it's opening weeks and I'm really glad I saw it. Despite how bad the seat was, the play was really good and funny. The ending was sad, but wasn't as sad as I was expecting it to be. If you're in Bristol, I'd highly recommend the production.
Bits'n'Bobs
I have some random bits'n'bobs favourites this month. I'm not sure how to describe them, but in a market in Bristol I got these two tiny wooden creatures. Ones a guinea pig and the others a hedgehog. They were so tiny I couldn't not get them. I may have to get more in the future because they're friggin adorable.
Recently I've been burning a lot of candles. I bought one from a company called Our Own Candle Company and it's really good quality. I may have to get some more from them at a later date as I like the one I have at the moment. Because it's been getting dark early, it's been nice to work with a candle burning in the background. I have a box of candles waiting to be burnt as I accumulated a lot when I was getting my Fairyloot boxes.
This is probably a bit of a weird favourite, but I've been using my iPad a lot more recently. I've been using it for my lectures and I forgot how good it is. I hate taking my laptop as it's big and heavy, but my iPad is so easy to chuck in my bag and use. I'm so annoyed I didn't think about using it earlier.
