~ September Wrap Up ~







Well, school has been beating me but sometimes I beat it (take note: sometimes). Overall it hasn't been going THAT bad but man, dividing polynomials are weird.

Violin is going pretty well. I have a competition in 4 weeks so somewhat freaking out. I have a solo in orchestra, playing violin 3 in Vivaldi's Violin Concerto for 4 violins.

Dance is also going fine.

I'm going to homecoming on the 20th so I'm VERY excited about that.




- The House Carpenter, Eleanor Tomlinson -

- Love Like This, Lauren Daigle -

- Cool Kids, Echosmith -

- I Like Me Better, Lauv -

- Escondida, Jorge Blanco -

An audiobook of A Noble Masquerade. Oh. My. Goodness. I loved the book but hearing it in the audiobook version almost makes it more hilarious xDDD




I ONLY READ 4 BOOKS THIS MONTH WHAT????????

Cranford, Elizabeth Gaskell; Victoria: Portrait of a Queen, Catherine Reef; Heartless, Marissa Meyer; Everything She Didn't Say, Jane Kirkpatrick



Loved

Heartless: Well this book sure lived up to its name. It left me heartless. But it was also sooooo good. And it was heart-wrenching in like the good kind of way??

Everything She Didn't Say: This was sorta unexpected xD I had low expectations for this read for some reason?? Anywho, find my review here!

Liked

Cranford: I had seen the miniseries and really enjoyed it! I was slightly confused because I thought that this would also cover Dr. Harrison's dilemma and Lady Ludlow and all that jazz, but it was just about the good ol' ladies of Cranford.

Victoria: Portrait of a Queen: I absolutely love Queen Victoria, this is was a good book with some info not only on her but on the happenings at the time.

Disliked

WELL NONE CAUSE I ONLY READ 4 STINKIN' BOOKS THIS MONTH

Shelter of the Most High, Connilyn Cossette; Hidden Peril, Irene Hannon; The Ranchero's Love, Nancy J.

We watched this with the fam and it is soo good xD I have to admit that my heart was pounding a few times!

The Crown

On the second season of this and had to take a short break from it. It covers some pretty heavy material and isn't as light and fluffy as Victoria

Death Comes To Pemberley

I really liked this one xD I always enjoy seeing (or reading) what other people think happen after Jane Austen's novels. Too bad she didn't write sequels.

And some other things but I can't remember what they are............




I was working on my novella, but have put that to the side as I start to prep for Nano. I have the summary and the bare bones outline (so I have to go fill that out) and I've been plodding through worldbuilding.

I'm hoping to finish soon and get started on character sheets. I made crests for all my royals and I really like how they turned out.




I changed my blog look and domain so yay!!

  1. Not gonna lie, I stared at the cover of Poldark for a solid two minutes thinking, “Wait, isn’t that Kili????” *facepalm*

    Have fun at Homecoming! I’m going in a little over a month and a half for the first time ever. *cue instant panic*

    Hope you have a great October, and good luck with NaNo planning!

    1. It is pretty good! Like I said in my post, it is rather heavy so it can be difficult to binge watch sometimes.
      Thank you!!!

  3. I always thought Poldark looked kinda interesting, since it's Kili...and my trilogy features a red-haired MC. But I just haven't had any time to even think about watching movies.

    Okay, so I did get to watch The Princess Bride and The Guardians (Russian superhero movie) in September. But still. I've been busy.
