August Favourites

Tomorrow August will be over. Meaning an entire month will have passed by in what felt like a week. VEDA will be over with just one more video. And more importantly, Summer will be over. I go back to school in three days and I am not even slightly prepared which is why today I decided to share my August favourites. I will post about going back to school on Wednesday when the reality of the situation becomes clearer to me. But until then, here are some things I liked this August:

Favourite Books:

Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell. It had been a while since I found a book that I genuinely felt I couldn't put down but this was one. I love the characters, the story, the style of writing. Everything I guess. I finished this on the boat home from the Isle of Man and got completely lost in it that I forgot about the possibility of sinking.

Truckers by Terry Pratchett. I haven't actually finished this book yet so if it turns out to be the worst ending ever, I'll unrecommend it next month. At first I struggled to get into this story because it's a little confusing for me when there are so many names and things to remember but now I'm really enjoying it. The idea is great and it's such a nice world to imagine while reading.

Favourite TV Shows:

Torchwood. In August my mum and I watched all of this show because we were obsessed. We love John Barrowman so we had to watch Torchwood and now we love him more. To be honest, I wasn't a fan of the last season but maybe that's just me. (I wasn't sure how to casually mention Janto so here it is casually being said. You're welcome.)

Game of Thrones. This month I finished season two and as much as it is taking me a long time to watch, I do love it. Despite not having a clue what's going on, I find myself trapped in the show every time I hear the opening titles. 

Community. My brother and I watched the whole first season of this in one day and since then it has been a competition to see who can watch the rest first. I am losing at season 4 episode 3. Community is one of those shows I didn't expect much of but then absolutely loved. The only thing is; are supposed to like Jeff? Because my brother hates him and I only just started to find him not awful. 


Favourite YouTube Channel:

NotJustBlonde. This is Zannah and I found her channel because she was doing VEDA this month. I've really enjoyed watching VEDA on her second channel and going back to watch everything I've missed. 

Favourite Songs:
Knuckles- NotJustBlonde (Zannah) This song is amazing and makes me jealous of her musical abilities as I have none. 
One for the Road- DoddleOddle (Dodie) Another musical person who writes amazing songs and makes me jealous
Flame- Sundara Karma

Favourite Films-

Paper Towns. This film was great and I wrote a full review here if you'd like to see that.

Fantastic Four. I heard a few people say they didn't like this film... but I did. Why I, personally, think this is is because there isn't as much action as you'd expect from a superhero movie. It's basically just a whole film of back story which I love but maybe that's not for everyone.

The Sisterhood of Night. Honestly, I don't know what this film was about or what actually happened but I know that it was pretty great and I know that when it was over I wanted to see it again. 

Horns. I had no idea what this film was really about before watching it and so I had quite a nice surprise. (Well not exactly nice) I'd definitely recommend it and you an see how far into it you get before making a Harry Potter joke. 

My Fake Fiance. We watched this film as a joke but I felt I should mention it because it made me laugh so much. My sister and I love films like this and she moved out this month so we had a day where we watched this, After the Ball (another great film), and the newest episodes of Bachelor in Paradise. 


I had quite a lot of favourites this month. Comment below some of yours. It is currently 12:16 so I have missed the Sunday post by a little bit but I'm sure we can forget about that one today. That's all for now, hope to see you next time. Bye
