What I'm Loving Now

So this past week I finished my Divergent audio book. The entire book was great. The characters and setting are described so perfectly. I got into the book really quickly and by mid-way through, I was very addicted. I ended up staying up later than I should have finishing the book the other night. Damn. The last 1/4 of the book is crazy! I'm so excited to go onto the next book, Insurgent. And I'm also really excited for the movie next year.


I have a few other audio books lined up to listen to. I'm not sure what I'm going to listen to next. I do know more John Green and Insurgent will be at the top of my list, or close to it.

I also finished up Season 3 of Doctor Who this week. Have you seen the episode 'Blink'? Holy crap. It creeped me out! As soon as the episode starts and you hear the Doctor say " Don't Blink. Blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back. Don't look away. And don't blink. Good luck.", you can tell the episode is going to be intense. I completely fell in love with the main character in this episode, Sally Sparrows, who is played by Carey Mulligan.

I raced through the last few episodes of the season. The story line was so interesting. I'm looking forward to moving onto the Christmas special and then Season 4. But for now I'm going to take a small break and watch the first season of Orphan Black.

As for music, I have found myself addicted to Lorde's The Love Club EP. I cannot stop listening to it. It's been on repeat most days while I'm on the computer. You can actually listen to it all here:



I cannot wait to get my hands on her full length album, Pure Heroine!

What have you been watching, reading and listening to?

What I'm Loving Now


Over the last month, I was introduced to the amazing Ron Swanson. I started watching Parks and Recreation from the beginning and I have flown through the first two seasons. I feel like I could devour the entire series super quick but I want to space it out a bit. So I'm taking a small break to catch up on the first 10 episodes of Awkward. By a third of the way through season two of Parks and Recreation, I was completely addicted. I loved the characters and got right into the story. And like a lot of people, Ron Swanson is by far my favourite character on the show. I love Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) too of course. Her friendship with Ron is super cute and funny.

 
I've also been on an audio book kick over the summer. I listened to The Fault in Our Stars by John Green over the course of a week and holy crap, I loved it!
 
 
First of all, the voice actor who narrates the book is wonderful and fit the character perfectly! And second, the story is just so sweet, heartbreaking and inspiring. I can't even describe it perfectly. It completely brought back memories and pulled at my heart strings because of my own cancer experience. But it wasn't in a bad way. My initial thoughts on this book was that it was going to be too sad and depressing and I know a few people who think the same. But it's not. Yes, tears filled my eyes numerous times while listening to it. It's just different and makes you happy to be alive. The characters are incredibly inspirational. Just read it!
 
I'm currently half way through the audio book for Divergent. Seriously, audio books have become my new favourite thing. I listen to them while I sew (since the headphones block out the noise from my sewing machine) and while tidying up our place. I'm really enjoying Divergent so far. I've gotten to a point in the book where I can feel the addiction is setting in. Little things are popping up and happening that have really grabbed my attention and I'm really looking forward to when I can listen to more!
 
 
What are you into right now? Any recommendations?
 
I leave you with this fun and lovely quote...
