Winter wrap-up ❄️

January, February and March wrap-up: books, series, films, music, and others πŸ’«



Books πŸ“š

In January I read only a few pages of 'The Secret History' by Donna Tartt, but February and March were good reading months and I read 8 books (my good reads challenge is to read 12)

  • Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire SaΓ©nz - 5 ⭐️
  • Cherub - The Recruit by Robert Muchamore (re-read) - 4 ⭐️
  • Campo de fΓ©rias by that-girl-tyra (re-read) - 5 ⭐️
  • The Cheerleaders by Kara Thomas - 4.5 ⭐️
  • Everything I never told you by Celeste Ng - 3.5 ⭐️
  • Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston - 4.5 ⭐️
  • There's a thin line between love and hate by MP13GIRL (re-read) - no rating 
  •  Heartstopper - Volume 1 by Alice Oseman - 5 ⭐️

Both Campo de fΓ©rias and There's a thin line between love and hate are Wattpad books, so they are free πŸ’›

Series πŸ“Ί

In these 3 months I watched quite a few series, here are the ones I recommend the most:

  • Arctic Circle aka Ivalo - great Nordic noir 
  • You - season 2 for me was better than season 1
  • The Circle US - a reality show very funny to watch 
  • Sex Education - loved season 2 as much as season 1
  • The Stranger 
  • Omniscient 
  • Manifest - I am in the middle of season 2 but this was my favourite to series on February
  • Elite - one of my all-time favourite series but season 3 was quite a disappointment 
  • Greenhouse Academy 
  • 100 humans 
  • Dare me - my biggest addiction on March
  • Unorthodox - super interesting
  • A Regra do Jogo - one of my favourite Brazilian soap operas and a pleasure to rewatch

Others 🎹
Watching Operacion Triunfo 2020 was my major entertainment in these months but the show was paused due to the coronavirus situation.

I spent a few days playing 'The Skye Boat Song' on piano and really want to keep ongoing 

I started writing another story in Wattpad (I am back after years, and I am old school), so far it has 6 chapters only but I really hope to keep inspired to write and update, you can read it here.

This is the resume of my beginning of 2020, I hope despite everything this post finds you all okay. For more opinions on these subjects check my Instagram.

Lots of love, 
Joana
