December: plans for reading all the Christmas-y books and then not feeling like it. Plenty of Christmas spirit otherwise, though, and a magical Christmas season minus the pregnancy sickness! If you missed it, we’ve got a little one coming in June : ).
In other news, this is my last of my monthly round-ups. I’ve mostly enjoyed doing it, although it is quite time consuming. One definite benefit is that it’s been fun looking back on the rest of the year to try to see what I was watching or reading or learning about at different times. I’m not sure what I’ll be doing in the new year as far as these round-ups. Suggestions certainly welcome!
Nope. I don’t know why, but I was not feeling the Christmas spirit in my books.
I also did not watch as many Christmas movies as I was initially thinking I would, but we did get our fill of music and lots of wonderful traditions and happy Christmas-y moments.

I did, however, have a cozy reading month, perhaps in part as an antidote, and watched the cutest show I ever did see.
Unfortunately, though, I’ve noticed I often feel a lot of pressure with what to read during this month because there is such a wide variety of books that feel perfect for October. I initially found myself reading lots of books at once with wandering attention while trying to plan out how to hit each type of book I thought would make for the ultimate October reading list. This has become an unfortunate October habit for me, so once I became aware of it, I chucked it to the side and just went back to reading what I felt like reading. If only I could do that with all life’s baggage, amirite?
Below you’ll find a list of mostly excellent reads, some really good watches, some really annoying watches, and so forth. Some of you are going to leave forever after you see what popular movie and TV show I’m hating on. It was nice knowing you.
