Hi everyone, welcome back to my blog and welcome to my September reading and watching wrap up! This month was all about doing uni work, dog sitting and for some reason, getting really obssessed with Modern Family. This is a really long-winded way of saying that I got myself into a reading slump and then reader’s guilt really set in and I was in it for the long haul! I’ve managed to evade any really bad slumps this year so I was definitely unprepared for this and it felt awful! I’m so used to haveing an audiobook on everywhere I go that it felt genuinely strange to click onto Spotify instead!! I also chose not to commute a whole tonne this month because of Covid which I’m sure also had an impact on my reading.

• Heartstopper Vol 4 [01/09] 🌈✨ – ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – This series is such a quick read and I loved how Alice Oseman tackled mental helath themes in this book!
• Would You Like To Be A Family? [02/09] 🌈✨ – ⭐⭐⭐ – Cute but lacking depth overall!
• A Study in Scarlet [08/09] 🎧 – ⭐⭐ – I really enjoyed the first half and thoguth this was goign to he a high 3 stars but the second half was unnecessary and too random!
• The Sign of Four [08/09] 🎧 – ⭐⭐ – This is genuinely awful and I have no idea what just happened.
• Perfect World Vol 1 [10/09] 📚🟣 – ⭐⭐⭐⭐- This is so so good! I’ve found a new favourite and I can’t wait to read vol 2!
• Ms Marvel Vol 3 [17/09] 📚 – ⭐⭐⭐ – I’m going to try readin gthe next few volumes but so far I’m very uncerwhelmed by this series!

• Something is Killing The Children Vol 2 [17/09] 📚 – ⭐⭐⭐ – Very scary, Maybe don’t read this in fron tof the kids you’re babysitting.
• Something is Killing The Children Vol 3 [17/09] 📚 – ⭐⭐⭐ – This is genuinely a good series I just hate being scared so I’m stopping here.
• My Hero Academia Vol 3 [17/09] 📚 – ⭐⭐⭐ – I really enjoy these characters but I think I much prefer the anime!
• Magic For Liars [20 – 21/09] 🎧 – ⭐⭐⭐ – This could’ve been so good, but as soon as the MC got to the school the entire story got lost!
• Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone [26/09] 🎧🔁- I won’t be commenting on or rating any of the books in this series. I want to stress that I am merely reading this because I grew up loving HP and still love the characters today. However, J K Rowling is hot garbage and I do take issue with her and her beliefs. Trans lives matter.
• Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets [27 – 28/09] 🎧🔁
• Harry Potter and Prisoner of Azkaban [28 – 29/09] 🎧🔁

• Modern Family Season 2 [28 Aug – 02 Sept] – ⭐⭐⭐.5 – I don’t know why, but this is the only long-running show to have ever made me cry. Seriously, it’s multiple times a season now and I don’t understand how the writers are doing this to me.
• Cinderella [03 Sep] ✨ – ⭐⭐⭐.5 – They really didn’t have to hit that hard with that opening scene.
• Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings [06 Sep] ✨ – ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – This was absolutely fantastic and I can’t wait to see it again!
• Modern Family Season 3 [02 – 11 Sep] – ⭐⭐⭐.5 – I’m really starting to love this show and it makes me cry every damn season!
• Modern Family Season 4 [12 – 14 Sep] ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – I love how this show can have some of the most boring plots like putting together broken action figures for a whole 20 minutes but the acting is so good and the show as a whole is so heartwarming that I’ll happily watch it and probably end up crying.
• Hotel Transylvania 2 [17 Sep] ⭐⭐⭐ – A lot of fun!
• Book Club [18 Sep] ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – This was honestly so much fun, but not as funny as the first time I watched it.

🔁

• Modern Family Season 5 [14 – 20 Sep ] ⭐⭐⭐ – Some more boring episodes but we finally met Andy!
• Modern Family Season 6 [20 – 22 Sep] ⭐⭐⭐ – I just know Andy and Haley are not going to be together and it hurts me.
• You’ve Got Mail [22 Sep] ⭐⭐⭐ – I was seriously expecing something completely different to the mess I just watched.
• Set It Up [26/09] ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – I watched this on Netflix Party with the Hoemance Book Club and had a great time!!
