LIST OF NEWSWORTHY
It snowed! I saw snow after four years because college made it impossible for me to be in my city for when it happened. Anyway, it was beautiful and there was snowball fights and I never want it to end.
Macaron-ed
I had my first macaron ever and it was divine. My friends and I were having tea in a cafe and they offered us macarons to try them out since they started selling it only recently. There was a strawberry flavored one and the other one was caramel-ish. I’m never getting tired of them.
All the Books
I bought seventeen books this month because I just want to read all the YA fantasy series. So yeah I went ahead and bought three complete series: Graceling Realm, The Archived, and Fire and Thorns. This is also in preparation for the ereader that I’m buying next month (yes, this is totally, finally happening).
20K Tweets
I planned to reach 20K tweets before January was over and right now, I’m at 20.3K. If only I was this motivated in other areas of my life as well. Seriously, though, Twitter is the best.
TV WATCH
I watched the first episode of Sherlock this month and mentally shook myself to ask just why did it take me 2 years to watch it.
Awkward‘s season finale left me feeling all fuzzy and warm.
New Girl and Brooklyn Nine-Nine make Tuesdays worth it.
The latest episode of How I Met Your Mother was so whimsical I loved it.
I finally caught up on Revenge and it’s all gone so twisty!
MOVIE WATCH
This year, I aim to watch all the movies I so easily watchlist on IMDB. I might actually succeed. I think.
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 (thumbs up) – It was ridiculously funny and I loved Barry the strawberry. Why aren’t foodimals real?
Stuck in Love (thumbs okay) – I liked Logan Lerman but the point of the movie is all lost on me.

How was your January?
Heeee, I watched Sherlock for the first time too and already went through season 1 and 2, haha. New girl was cute <3 I also saw Cloudy with a chance of meatballs 2. It was indeed ridiculously funny and adorable 😀 Catching fire gets two thumbs up. That movie is so good.
I definitely need to get Fire & Bitterblue after loving Graceling this month. Rae Carson series is fantastic, although I still need to read the last book. Happy reading! 😀
I couldn't agree more about Stuck in Love (Logan was the only good thing about the movie) and Catching Fire (nobody gets why I cried so much)! And wow. 17 books. The Archived was fantastic. I wasn't a huge fan of Girl of Fire and Thorns and actually put it off and might get back to it sometime in the far future. I read and loved Graceling years back, but never really felt compelled to read the sequels.
Glad you had a good month! 😀

Isn't Sherlock soooo good? I can't wait for season 4 and I can't believe it's going to be a year away. TT>TT
And yes, macarons are my new favorite thing! I still haven't eaten my second macaron (of my life) just yet but hopefully I do soon! 🙂
YES. THE ARCHIVED. I hope you love it as much as I did! It's slow and very retrospective and amazinnnnnggg.
Isn't Broolyn Nine-Nine the best? It's so amazing. I was laughing and grinning at everybody. They are all awesome, especially Amy Santiago, Terry, and Captain Holt. I loved the last episode of HIMYM because the mother seems pretty awesome. Her life got me so emotional. Can we just devote the rest of the season to just be about her? Just her. Nobody else.
I've never experienced snowfall in my life- it's depressing. :c I'm so happy you enjoyed your macarons! (I think you mean macarons right? The french confection?) I'm addicted to those and I have one a box in the fridge right now which I'm going to eat soon because you mentioning it made me crave!
Didn't know you watched Awkward! Matty!!!! Jenna irked me during the last season but I super liked the ending! Hope the next season comes around soon. Meanwhile, I'll have to catch up on New Girl and 2 Broke Girls!
Eeeep, you read Shadow and Bone!!!!! How was it? Anyway, have a great February, Sana! 🙂
