Hello! Sorry I have not blogged in a while but I am back now with my November Favourites!

My first favourite of this month is The Tales of Beedle the Bard by J K Rowling. It is a short fairytale book which includes 5 short stories. The stories have been written in the style of a fairytale and are written as something that would be read to young Wizards and Witches in the Wizarding World. It so cute and I absolutely love the stories. My favourite story is the story about the 3 brothers, the same as Dumbledore haha!



Keeping with the Harry Potter theme, my film favourite of the month is Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. This follows the character of Newt who goes to New York with his suitcase full of magical creatures. Whilst in New York his creatures escape and he meets Tina, Jacob and Queen who help him. Newt is adorable and I love the friendship in this film! Also, the acting and plot line is superb!



For my clothing favourite I've actually been loving my Hufflepuff socks from Primark. Boring I know, but so cute and cosy!

I've also been loving my Harry Potter charm bracelet that my friend Zoe got me! The charms are so cute and sentimental to me!



For makeup I've been loving the Revolution Flawless 2 eyeshadow palette, particularly the pinks and browns in it as I'm a neutral girl who doesn't wear that much makeup. Plus if I mess up then nobody really notices!

My favourite perfume has been Wonderstruck Enchabtwd by Taylor Swift. I know it's a typical teenage girl perfume but it's perfect for winter as it's warm and slightly musky whilst also being girly!

In terms of tv shows I've been loving both Lucifer and Gilmore Girls. I've been watching Lucifer with my boyfriend and we've only just started season 2 but it is so good! I love the storyline although it can sometime be predictable. I've also recently started season 3 of Gilmore Girls and I love it! It is so cute and funny and I love the relationship between Loralie and Rory!



For music, I've really been enjoying 7 Years by Lukas Graham. I listened to it all throughout summer and I started listening again to it this month too!

Let me know what your favourites have been this month!

Hi everyone! I move to university in a week and thought I'd show you what books I'm planning on taking with me.

The first book I want to take with my is Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone illustrated by Jim Kay. I love the Harry Potter series and it always makes me feel cosy and at home. I thought I'd take this book to stop me feeling homesick as Harry Potter always makes me feel better and my edition was a Christmas present from my boyfriend so it is also quite sentimental. Plus the illustrations are beautiful!

The second book I'm planning on taking with me is The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky. This is quite a short coming of age story. I read this a few years ago and loved it as the story is so beautiful yet sad. I love this book and find it quite comforting so I thought I'd take it with me.

The next book I'm planning on taking is Jane Eyre . I've been wanting to read this for ages and still have yet to read it. It is a well loved classic and the rest of the books I'm taking are YA so I thought taking a classic would give me a bit more of a variety!

Another book I want to take is The Night Circus by Erin Morganstern. I read this last year and it was one of my favourite books of 2015. It is a lovely and magical story with wonderful characters.

A fourth book I want to take is Am I Normal Yet by Holly Bourne. This is my favourite book I've read this year which is why I want to take it!

I also want to take one book from The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare. The Mortal Instruments is one of my favourite book series. At the moment I want to take City of Glass as it is one of my favourites from the series.

The last few books I want to take are the Throne of Glass series. This is because I'm currently reading  the Throne of Glass series and am still only reading the first book in the series.

So those are all of the books I'm planning on taking to university with me. Let me know what books you're planning on taking!

I was tagged by Julia Sappire on Youtube to do this tag on my Booktube channel and thought I'd share my answers on here too! Here is Julia's video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-ZmflT0TFo

There are two Twenty One Pilots Book Tag's on youtube and the one I am doing was created by Booksoverparties. Her video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NzLEJmKQ9M&feature=youtu.be

1) Stressed Out - Pick a book which you wish you could turn back time and read for the first time again.
Angel fall by Susan EE.



2) Ride - Pick a character who goes on a decline (gets worse mentally) throughout a book or series.
For this question I pick the character of Othello from Othello by William Shakespeare.

3) Fairly Local - Pick a book or series that takes place all over the country and/or world.
City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare. I won't say who travels all over the world as it will be a spoiler if you haven't gotten that far in The Mortal Instruments series.
