BLOGTOBER DAY 9 // FALL READING LIST

advice
This summer I did so well at keeping a good pace with reading. I mean granted 75% of my summer reading consisted of all seven Harry Potter books (as well as Cursed Child)... but still, I was happy with myself. Then I made the slightly foolish decision to read all the Jane Austen novels after having loved rereading Pride and Prejudice. But honestly my heart wasn't as into it as my head was and since then I haven't picked up one book. NOT ONE! 
It is so unlike me not to have at least three books on rotation at one time but something has really changed. I also feel like my attention span for things is less and less recently. For example, I can be really excited to watch a show but then lose interest half way through. Something is seriously wrong... HELP!

Soooooo this post is meant to start holding myself accountable. Maybe I won't read ALL of the books on this list but hopefully I can find the inspiration in one of them to get back into a good reading rhythm. Here are my picks for Fall Reading: 

BLOGTOBER DAY 1 // SEPTEMBER FAVORITES

Well 2016, I think I can mark you down as the fastest year in the history of years. Even saying the word October feels strange and mysterious. I am so excited to be attempting Blogtober this year. I feel like it will be a wonderful creative outlet to use as a diversion from other areas of my life. But before we dig into October, (there will PLENTY of that in the next 30 days) let's take a look back at the cool things I was lovin' the month of September.


AUGUST FAVORITES //

Welp. Bye August of 2016 it was nice knowin' ya! We are finally finally FINALLY in the month of September woo woo woo woo. I spent an incredible holiday weekend up in Lake Arrowhead and it was literally the perfect transition weekend into Fall. The air was chilled and when the fog rolls up the side of the mountain and spills onto the streets and houses around the lake it feels like you could be living in a cloud. I was able to wear my new bomber jacket (which shall be put in my favorites below!) and actually not feel crazy for bundling up.
We also went to the resort for a cheeky little massage and gaaahhh it was pure heaven! I think I will need to do a good post for Lake Arrowhead the next time I'm up there...
Without further ado here are my August loves

Movies: I didn't go to the movies once... this whole month... that. never. happens.

I did rewatch Scream Queens and have been catching up on Masters of Sex before the new season starts! I am so beyond BEYOND beyond ready for Fall television to begin I could barf.
Music: I think I am going to be making a fall playlist so I will definitely link that in my twitter.
