How is 2020 almost over?! And how has it been so long since I’ve done a monthly wrap up? Much like most of the year so far, October has gone by both slowly and swiftly. Adjustments and life changes happened that had me reeling and re-centering myself to a place where I could finally reform a routine (YAY!) and really come back to myself after allowing a nice and hefty pause. Much like my life, My October Wrap Up is the same!
In comparison to my usual amount of novels read in a month, I didn’t read much in the month of October–however! In comparison to the months of 2020, I really went nuts in the reading (this is comical when you see the amount later one) department, and completely bonkers in the watching department (2020 will be known as the year of watching).
Go ahead and grab some popcorn and check out everything I consumed for the month of October!

I don’t even know what Holidate is but based on the title and number of popcorns it received, I’m all in! I’m planning to go absolutely wild on the Christmas romcoms this year. 😛
YASSSSSSS!!!!! It’s so good! 10/10 would recommend! oooo what romcoms do you have lined up so far?
March? 🙈
hahaha oopsies my brain seems to think im still in March lol! Fixed it! Thank you!
😂 The number of books makes feel better because I’ve read a lack of books as well… only I spent more time playing games rather than watching movies or TV shows. And honestly I don’t know HOW it’s almost 2021. I’m not sure I like this.
(Hi Sam it’s been a hot hot minute since I visited!)
oooo what games have you been playing? I’ve been thinking about waddling to some games for a few weeks now just as something different! and samesies on the 2021 front, like how did 2020 go by so fast yet so slow? All I know is 2021 better be better or I’m hollering with whoever is upstairs controlling this sims game!
(ALSO HI! ITS BEEN FOREVER AND I NEED TO VISIT YOU AND LUPE SOON!)
i mean, we all have these kinda months! at least youve been able to enjoy tv 🙂
this is very true! <3 TV saves lives lmao
Holidate looks fun! I love America’s Next Top Model, even though it’s mega cringy. My October was good!
Holidate was hilarious! I highly recommend it if you are looking for a good ol’ holiday romcom!! ANTM is the cringiest reality show out there, but like I bad car accident, I can’t not look away lolololol. YAY! I’m so happy your October was good! <3
