2. Dreaming about owning a publishing house specialising in slightly obscure books. It's never going to happen, but I think it's okay to indulge in dreams every so often.
3. A day of replying to comments & catching up on my bloglovin' feed awaits - perfect!
4. Her written & directed by Spike Jonze.
5. Alpro devilishly dark chocolate desserts. If I could survive on just these I would. I think I like them even more than I like sandwiches. And I like sandwiches A LOT!
6. The Book Journal - coming soon!
7. Noting down the things that have made me happy for these posts!
8. The new series of Long Lost Family is as wonderful as ever and The Great British Bake Off is back next week! My favourite TV shows!
9. Positive thoughts banishing any semblance of negative ones instantly.
10. Results day at University & finding out that I passed, despite some incredibly tough marking. A first is now ever so slightly out of my reach, but I will be over the moon to graduate with a 2:1 next year, fingers crossed! Taking the leap back into education is one of the best decisions I have ever made.
What is making you happy so far this week?

ReplyDeleteJess xo
It's harrowing and not an easy read, but a wonderful book! xx
DeleteA lovely post.
ReplyDeleteI think everyone should write down all the lovely positive things in life. The might just be a happier place for it.
I've popped A Girl Is A Half-Formed Thing onto my to-read list. I'm intrigued.
Well done on your uni marks :)
Thank you! xx

Thank you <3 xxx
DeleteMore people should watch Her! It's such a beautiful film if not slightly controversial. I have to admit I loved the colour scheme they used in it (the reds/oranges) is that just me?
ReplyDeleteIt was beautifully shot and edited for sure! xx
DeleteLovely post Jennie. I will be sure to go and check Her out as I haven't seen it before. I am very excited about The Bake Off too! Enjoy the rest of your week.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for wednesday! xx
DeleteI've never heard of A girl is a half formed thing, but now I'm really interested to find it out. I also love Long Lost Family, Monday's episode was a real cracker, especially with the Mum who gave her baby away to parents who had just lost their two babies. Real tear jerker!

ReplyDeleteCongrats on passing! So happy to hear that you enjoy this journey!
You have no idea how excited I am about The Book Journal! It looks so lovely already, the header is perfect :)
Thanks to you my To Read List continues to grow - your recommendations are absolutely great!
Also, I'm inspired to write down my own 10 Happy Things at least once a week, because I feel like it will make a difference. Your blog will be on today's list :)
Aww thank you! xx
Deleteum excuse me! #2 could totally happen you just need to make it happen :)

Maybe one day! xx
DeleteI recently watched Her. I found it a bit strange but I did enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteTough marking is the worst. I have one lecturer who won't give out 1st to anyone, no matter how good their work is. So frustrating how one bad mark/module can bring everything down. But good luck with the rest of uni. :D
Ohh that's annoying xx
DeleteCongratulations on your results - good luck with next year! I am beyond excited about The Book Journal...cannot wait to see it in action x

Thank you! xx
DeleteA Girl is a Half-Formed Thing sounds right up my street, definitely adding that to the list! By the way, I think it was you who recommended The Snow Child a while back (if it wasn't then forget this), I read it recently despite it being the middle of summer haha and I absolutely adored it so thank you so much for that one!
ReplyDeletexx
It was, so pleased you enjoyed it!! <3 xx
DeleteLovely post! Congratulations on your results xx

DeleteI'll go into business with you for that obscure novels publishing house! ;) I loved 'Her' too - watched it when it first came out at the cinema and then again on DVD and adored it both times. Rare to see a movie that's so thought-provoking but also indulges in one of my favourite themes, near-future fantasy!
ReplyDeleteTamsin xx | A Certain Adventure
Absolutely, a really interesting concept! xx
DeleteHer was such a beautiful film wasn't it. Such a fan of Spike Jonze… nothing will top Wild things for me though! I really need to catch up with Bloglovin, my feed is raring out of control. But that just means I'll have a really epic afternoon awaiting me when I find some free time :) XX
ReplyDeleteAhh mine is too, crazy! <3 <3
