Reading.
The Herbalist by Niamh Boyce*, which I only started reading this morning so I'm not too far in, but I can already tell that Niamh is a fabulous writer - I got that vibe from the very first page, the way she captures & describes emotions and the feel of a scene - and I think I'm really going to enjoy her first novel.
Baking.
Gingerbread biscuits because it's never too early, never!
Listening to.
Cosy slippers, hello Autumn!
Watching.
Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows - I had a mini-movie-marathon yesterday because, well, sometimes I just need to have a really good cry at something for no particular reason. Snape's final scene 'always' gets me and the scene with Harry, his parents, Remus and Sirius in the forest has me sobbing merrily away because it's just so beautiful.
&& Bookshelf tours on YouTube. It makes me SO happy that these exist and only a little sad that I didn't know about them until recently. They're making me want all of the books!
Blogs.
One. Laura's Haven. Two. Blue Rinse. Three. e-elise etc.
Are you having a lovely weekend?
I hope so!
Love, Jennie

It's so weird to describe blog post as cosy, but your posts really are like that. I'm loving this weekend! It's cold outside and I'm watching movies and eating cookies. I can't wait for snow! Then it will be even more snuggly. Aren't bookshelf tours the best? I think I've seen every single one on YouTube :)x
ReplyDeleteAww thank you so much, that's a wonderful thing to hear! They are amazing, one day I would love to have lots of bookshelves filled with my favourite reads <3 xo
DeleteAaw, the Snape & Lily scene from The Deathly Hallows is amazing. I love gingerbread, but I always find gingerbread men really difficult! xxx
ReplyDeleteAhh I know, I think it's one of my favourite scenes from the whole series. I love Snape and Alan Rickman is perfect in it! Ahh I do too, I'm always terrified I'm going to lose a filling or something because they're so crunchy. I much prefer softer gingerbread <3
Deleteyes. never too late for gingerbread cookies! would love to see how yours turned out! :)
ReplyDeletei've been itching to bake something soon too... debating between pumpkin cheesecake or cupcakes...
thanks for linking to the 3 blogs, i love finding new ones to fall in love with!

Pumpkin cheesecake sounds amazing!! <3
DeleteWas about to comment that you've made me really want gingerbread now and just saw my blog there! Thank you so much :D absolute love for you and Sailor Jennie <3 xx
ReplyDeleteAww you're welcome! xo
DeleteI had to force myself to stop watching bookshop tours, they all had such interesting books that they raved about and my bank account couldn't handle me jealously buying so many books. Especially not when I've got so many already sitting in my to be read pile...

I think I might have to do the same too soon, they're just so addictive haha! xo
DeleteAh I love wearing slippers around the house. -Hanna Marie
ReplyDeleteSo cosy <3
DeleteI didn't know about bookshelf tours! What a great idea.
ReplyDeleteI like these glimpses into other lives because everyone's activities and candid moments seem so perfect and cosy. It's a nice way of understanding a little bit more about someone.
I haven't watched The Deathly Hallows in about two months which is unacceptable. I think it might be time to delve into the books yet again. I can't believe everything is over still. This is why nothing compares to books. They remain constant throughout everything.

Ahh I know, it's so nice knowing they're always there to escape in to! xo
DeleteIts clearly harry potter season! Just read all the books through from the beginning again for the thousandth time and found myself weeping on the sofa through a good 50% of the Deathly Hallows... Oh dear!
