November was good because I got to laze around and read so many books. Heee.
LIST OF NEWSWORTHY
Rinn hosted Sci-Fi Month which turned out to be a pure success. I got my science geek out by posting, reading and watching everything science fiction.
Blogoversary
November marked my second year of blogging which I celebrated by changing the blog design (finally!). It felt surreal. I’m happy with my blog ’cause it finally feels mine mine. (Yes, sometimes I’m weird).
Book Feels
First, The Knife of Never Letting Go killed me then Vicious resurrected me with it’s villainy genius and then Not a Drop to Drink made my feels collapse into a heap of mush. I loved every minute.
Also, V. E. Schwab offered to send trading cards when I couldn’t control my fangirling over Victor on Twitter. She is so cool!
Music Soulmate
Guys, I found my music soulmate. It’s Eve and we both love alternate music. This is the best thing ever! Hello, new music.
Illness Sucks
My mother’s a kidney patient and recently, her condition started deteriorating rapidly. She will start having dialysis again which is not good.
TV WATCH
I’ve been watching The Vampire Diaries since 2009 so please show me something better than just the annoying Delena (it’s like they deserve each other, blargh).
The Originals is my favorite at the moment. Klaus, I love.
Winston is ridiculous in New Girl but the Coach? Not so much.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine‘s pretty funny sometimes.
There have been too many backstories in the last few episodes of How I Met Your Mother. Get to the Mother or the wedding!
The Big Bang Theory is just, I love it.
Awkward is going well with all the pun work despite Jenna’s stupidity.
MOVIE WATCH
53 movies and counting for 2013 but I’m happy that I’ve read more books than I’ve watched ’em movies.
Monsters University (thumbs forgettable) – I enjoyed watching it but that’s about it.
Pacific Rim (thumbs double up) – I am in awe. I freakin’ loved it! I want to own a jaeger.
Also,
@artsymusings John Bender. Patrick Verona. JANIS!!! Olive <3 I want more movies like that. Nowadays everything is just sex sex sex. Lame.

Great tv shows, great books! AND totally agree to the best drama comedy movies!!!
My month was pretty meh. Exams. :/ But now they're over so I am looking forward to December's awesomeness!
I love the Toy story movies <3 I'm a bit done with The vampire diaries, but I still can't stop watching.. It's addicting and annoying at the same time, haha. I'm pretty much in love with The originals. Almost all my favorite characters in one series. It's a shame Tyler was back though.. and I want to see Caroline & Klaus time :p I want Coach to be gone from New Girl.. He is one weirdo. The big bang theory is awesome like always. I can't wait to get started in Reign, it reminds me of one of my fav's The Tudors. Awkward is adorable, but Jenna *facepalm* That girl can be so stupid, it's painful.
So that's with the blog change! IT LOOKS SO PURTY! * ^ * I LOVE IT! I really hope a miracle comes soaring up your door way and gets your mother right up and up and healthy again–because I always wish the best for people.
Oh gosh, I just got the chance to watch The Breakfast Club as yes, that movie is super funny, and kind of life-chaning. Kinda. But I definitely can see why people adore it so much. I want to read The Knife of Never Letting Go already! So jealous! XD
Anyways, you know, Thanksgiving and all, I think November was a pretty good month. ^^
I could not agree more about Delena in The Vampire Diaries! I used to love Damon but now…what I can't understand is how he and Stefan have both, in the past, been quite happy to hang about waiting for Elena to decide which one of them she likes best this time. Get some self-respect boys!! I love The Originals too – Klaus has always been a favourite of mine and I think I might be falling in love with Elijah! 🙂
