September Wrap Up

Hi,

The books I read this month were quite meh but it was a brilliant month for telly

BOOKS

The Foxhole Court

Jenna Clare recently read and was obsessed with this and I've been curious about it for a while so when I saw it I figured it was worth giving it a go since it is quite short. I actually really enjoyed this. It was a quick read that was easy to get into. I'm not sure if I'm going to continue with the series but I have access to the rest of the audiobooks if I change my mind. A very fun 4 stars.

Parsnips, Buttered

I started this a while ago and accidentally forgot about it but I had a day of doing nothing and wanted to get my TBR down because the majority of books I've been reading recently have been library books or from Scribd. This was quite funny but didn't make me laugh out loud at all and  few of the chapters I'd already heard preformed before so the book ell a little flat at points and was rather repetitive which is disappointing for such a short book. I still had fun reading the book and still love Joe Lycett but will be giving this book 3.5 stars and wouldn't read any other book he came out with.

I love spoken word poetry and I've watched and liked some of Melissa's poems that I have previously heard. Objectively Melissa's book was great the poems were clever and well thought out. However all of them were about her being latinx and I think that anyone who is a person of colour will have a great connection to this book and I would recommend it to everyone who is. But as a British person in Britain this poetry collection didn't resonate with me at all. Based off of personal enjoyment alone I'm giving this 2 stars unfortunately but not even slightly a bad book, just not the book for me. I was the issue not the book.

Serpent & Dove

This is the overhyped book club's pick for September and once again it was just alright. I'm not a fantasy reader but I did find the plot pretty compelling. There was one day where I listened to about 6 hours. My big issue was the romance. I hated it, I was excited to read my first ever fake dating trope but the relationship didn't do it for me. Really not into the jealous and possessive relationships. I definitely won't be reading the next book in the duology but I guess I'm glad I read this. I'm giving it 2.5 stars.

TV & FILM

Elite (Season 2)

I watched the first season the day it came out last year and loved it so I was so hyped for this season and it did not disappoint. The first episode was a bit slow but the rest were brilliant. I sat and basically watched the whole season in one day, which is really not my style, I usually get really bored of watching the same thing for so long. This season was a lot dark and a lot steamier, definitely a 15 at least. The character arcs were perfection and all the new characters were so well done, I loved/hated each of them as I was meant to. A brilliant 4/5 stars. A great trashy murder mystery that really will shock you.

Jon Richardson: Ultimate Worrier (Season 2)

I watched the first season and enjoyed it but this season was so much better. I was crying with laughter at so many episodes. An incredibly bingable show with some incredibly funny people. Absolutely adored this 5/5 stars no doubt.

This Way Up

I was tentative about this show. I watched the first episode and decided it wasn't for me but my mum wanted to watch it and we became hooked. The last episode was incredible. It was funny through out and it followed all kinds of women. I cried and laugh and gasped and smile my face off. It's on hulu in America and channel 4 in the UK. Give it a watch it's worth it. 4/5 stars
