Hey everyone, welcome or welcome back to my blog! It’s officially the end of the month and can I just say… finally! This felt like such a slow month and I was also in a reading slump for the majority of the month. This was very much the kind of month where I just reread my favourite romances and didn’t really pick up anything else π.

- The Time Traveler’s Wife [02-08/06] π§π – ββ.75 – An interesting and tragic portrayal of time travel with a romance that tried very hard not to look like grooming but still definitely was.
- Divergent [09-10/06] ππ§ – βββ – A lot of fun, I definitely want to rewatch the movie now!
- Boyfriend Material [14 – 15/06] ππ§ – βββ.5 – Very cute, I can’t wait for book 2!
- Persuasion [16/06] π§π – ββββ – This is such a popcorn drama and I absolutely love it!
- The Wall of Winnipeg and Me [17/06] π§π – ββββ.5 – At this point, if I ever have any varying negative emotion I just automatically put this book on and suddenly I’m calm. This was officially the 5th time I’ve read this book and my 3rd read this year.

- All Rhodes Lead Here [19/06] emojis – ββββ.5 – Also absolutely perfect of course!

- A Court of Mist and Fury [20 – 23/06] ππ§ – βββ – I really thought I was in the perfect mood for this and while I did enjoy it, I just think it was too long to keep my attention at the time.
- You Deserve Each Other [27/06] π§ – ββ.5 – The last couple of chapters were okay, but the other 95% was god awful.

- Top Gun: Maverick [05/06] β¨ – ββββ.5 – Genuinely such a good movie!
- Jurassic World: Dominion [09/06] β¨ – ββββ – There was too much going on but I was so starstruck by seeing Laura Dern and Sam Neill on-screen together again that I didn’t care.
- Jurassic Park [10/06] π -βββββ – It’s still genuinely amazing to me that I can watch this after having already seen it so many times and any scene with a Velociraptor in it still scares me to my bones.
- Jurassic Park The Lost World [11/06] π – ββ.5 – It’s a no from me.
- Jurassic Park 3 [13/06] π – βββ.5 – Genuinely awful CGI but I love this movie with my entire heart and soul.
- title [date/06] emojis – stars – review
- The Time Travelerβs Wife Season 1 [02 – 21/06] β¨ – βββ.25 – A bit slow and has all the same problems as the book but, Theo James and Rose Leslie do such a wonderful job, that they do the show so many favours!

- Father of The Bride [23/06] β¨ – βββ – Didn’t need to be remade but okay
- POC The Curse of The Black Pearl [24/06] π – βββ.5 – Absolutely iconic. I cannot believe how young Keira Knightley was when she filmed in this.
- Anchorman [24/06] βββ.5 – I feel like white dads must love this movie.
- Anchorman 2 [24/06] βββ – This movie would have been nothing without Steve Carrell
- Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them [28/06] π – βββ.5 – I’m ngl I just rewatched the scenes with the animals which was a surprisingly short amount of time.

I read Persuasion just last month, and your description of it as a ‘popcorn drama’ made me actually laugh out loud! Congratulations on a very full month π

It’s truly one of my favourite all-time romances! I truly recommend a re-read, I’ve read it so many times this year alone!
