Its the month of LOVE! Well the month of love for the world of consumerism and chocolates–but that’s okay because I’m a hoe for both! February’s future log is on that has me squinting my eyes and wondering if I’m bored or super human…
I’m getting this Future Log out a bit late (hello me staying on brand), which means a lot has already happened–but I will save that goodness for the check-in in a few days! This month I start back up with my Theatre as I will be Stage Managing another play for my former University Professor. Hello long nights and early mornings! I’m still working full time and taking my Turkish class on the weekend–and on top of that my family and I are in the thick of finding a house and moving into said home before the end of the month (which has been even more difficult than last time for no apparent reason)– so needless to say I will be a busy bee for the next 28 days!
On the upside of it all I have finally finished cataloguing all 531 books that I physically own! A feat that took me almost two months to do (procrastination station is with me!) and had me reflecting on whether or not I actually have a book buying problem (yes, yes I do). Currently, my lovely books are tucked away protectively in plastic bins, but if you are curious to see what I own, you can check out my catalogue here: Fictionally Sam’s Library of Souls.
Dare To Be A Duchess by Sapna Bhog

Lara Ramsay is no stranger to scandal. As the orphaned daughter of a British colonel and his beloved Indian wife, whispers follow her everywhere. Not even the protection of the formidable Duke of Wolverton, a man she can’t stand, keeps the gossips at bay.
The audacious Lara has driven Tristan Wentworth, The Duke of Wolverton, to distraction since the day his uncle took her in—and he’s quite certain doing so is her favorite pastime. After catching her and his younger sister at a salacious masquerade, he’s had enough scandal and issues a marriage ultimatum: find a husband within six months or one will be chosen for her.
Unfortunately, no one in the ton appeals to her. Except, perhaps, the duke himself. The battle of wills has only just begun, and when Lara kisses him, their fate is sealed.
Sometimes even the most proper duke needs to break the rules to win the heart of the woman he loves…

This has changed ever so slightly since my last update–I’ve still just been watching my usual Turkish programs–Sen Çal Kapımı, Wolf, 50m2–as well as my Nat Geo WILD shows, specifically Dr. K’s Exotic Animal ER. But this month I’ve started waddling to more Netflix shows as this month’s and last’s line up were super intriguing. And we all know it doesn’t take much for me to add something to my TBW.

My TBW is the same as last months as I didn’t watch anything on my TBW in January (very typical of me). So the goal remains–to either finish one of these or to just simply start it. I am adding two movies and a Turkish drama to this months list because why not? Hopefully with these added I might just knock my TBW list out of the park for the first time in forever.

SAMMY SAM!! Please let me know when you’re starting Maraşlı. I’m super curious to see what you think about it! And I love your TBR. I Desperately need to read the JLA one. I have a mighty need. Please please please let me know what you think of it!
Uh, you’re almost done with Bridgerton! I loved how addicting that show was, and I’m seriously thinking about rewatching it.
OMG I am so excited for you getting back into theater! What a lovely return to semi-normalcy for you. I hope the house hunt goes okay, I am keeping you in my thoughts (and ofc hope it doesn’t get worse because of The Freezing).
