Happy December, everyone!
This month I'm reading The Alice Network (you can buy it here if you'd like to read it, too) My friend in Canada recommended it and I trust her judgement! Apparently it's won a lot of awards so why not...

Whenever we have a bright sunny day here in Kent, I always try to get outside. Currently Ontario is getting overwhelmed with snow, so I try extra hard to appreciate the good weather here! Even just a little walk.
Plus I find that getting fresh air and real sunlight on my face is so importan...

Since my Dad died this summer, I've been collecting stories of him in my notes - there's a LOT of funny stories. One of the classics is the time I almost drowned in the Caribbean. I think I was probably like 13 at the time.

I love crime and murder mysteries. I also love David Lynch. I could not love Twin Peaks, no matter how hard I tried.
I ended up Googling: "Is Twin Peaks actually good?" Maybe I just didn't get it, maybe it went over my head. Turns out, Twin Peaks came out at exactly 2020-11-12 19:01:00 +0000 UTC View Post
Recently I watched the new horror film His House! And while it's classified as horror, it's really not.. but it'd definitely creepy and I definitely jumped a few times... It's on Netflix right now so you might have already seen it listed on your feed.
It's not mind-blowing,...

I LOVED The Queen's Gambit, the new mini-series on Netflix! I binged it pretty quickly and then told my mum about who then quickly binged it herself.
I'm definitely not a chess player but I really enjoyed the show - incredible acting, great story, wonderful sets and costume...

I love space. I love astronauts. I love NASA. I couldn't be bothered about this show! I watched the first episode, thought: "Okay, this is fine" and never returned!
I know my mum watched it and sobbed - but she said it was way more of a drama and less of a space-show.
Did any of you g...

Recently I watched the second season of Criminal UK on Netflix! I really enjoyed it!
The whole series is made of stand-alone episodes, so you don't have to watch the whole thing to enjoy it. The acting is really good with interesting stories and crimes!

I mentioned before that I really enjoyed the Haunting of Hill House and I was excited about the second season - The Haunting of Bly Manor. Blah!
The season is completely unrelated to the first (so you can watch them out of order, or not at all..) but they re-use a lot...

This Spooky Month I re-watched the Haunting of Hill House and really enjoyed it - again! I thought it's a great style of spooky show that doesn't just use silly jump-scares to startle you.
A really interesting plot, great sets and acting and overall just a really grea...
