My rewatch era has apparently returned full force and really I’m not mad at all. There’s something so incredible comforting about watching something you’ve seen before, it eases your mind but also allows you to do other things whilst having it on as background.
Finding podcasts on Netflix has been revolutionary for me, finally getting to watch My Favorite Murder on there is truly elite (and means I don’t have to only listen to it when I’m in the kitchen or out walking) and I’ve also finally started Buried Bones whilst also becoming hopelessly addicted to Ellison Barber’s Allegedly (let me tell you, I’ve binged every episode!).
The Love Hypothesis is absolutely going to be one of my go-to films now, yes there are some differences to the book but we’re going to overlook that in favour of stellar casting and being a great comfort film. Urgh I just love Ali Hazelwood’s stories.
In Lisbon last year I started The Summer I Turned Pretty again (and finally finished it), it became my comfort show at the end of long and exhausting days, so this time around it just seemed right to watch it again. I started by watching Sterling Point and Off Campus (or rather rewatched it full because I hadn’t finished it) when in Porto and then started on TSITP in Lisbon, the ultimate comfort shows.
The Celebrity Traitors was wild this season, I’m convinced it just gets better and better, I can’t wait for the regular civilian one to start again!
In Paris, Izzy and I were after a good background show for getting ready, watching with a takeaway or for curling up until sleep overtook us at the end of walking heavy days, the fact we settled on Glee warms my heart because I love that - now very problematic - show!
My book goal this year was potentially a little too ambitious for how much I’ve ended up reading, 50 books seems more than achievable, but right now I’m only on 27 so it’s safe to say that won’t quite be achieved. Summer Fridays was such a cute easy read rom-com that will forever remind me of being in Porto, sat on a bench overlooking the Douro with my brie and prosciutto sandwich, not such a bad thought, eh?
One True Loves was a brilliant but rough read, I hadn’t read the premise before delving in on my Kindle, I will read pretty much anything Taylor Jenkins Reid writes, but the idea of loss and trying to settle into a new normal may have hit a little close to home. Yesteryear is something that I have been bombarded with online so I finally gave into the audiobook and gave it a chance. Similarly to The Housemaid, I wanted to give up less than halfway through because I thought they were awful and dull, but I persevered because I just wanted to know the damn twist, the ending just about saved the book and made me give a slightly higher Goodreads rating. I will give Caro Claire Burke her dues though, her storytelling is good, I just didn’t love the overall story.
For about 3 weeks of October I almost exclusively only listened to the Kacey Musgraves mix on Spotify, it was banger after banger and the perfect ‘get ready’ playlist when on holiday. Other than that, I’ve been listening to a lot of Van Zee, Hilary Duff, The Maine and Noah Khan largely due to seeing most of them in concert. Also, it’s been TWENTY years since My Chemical Romance released The Black Parade so you bet I’ve had that on repeat, what a belter of an album.
