I know I’m normally pretty thrown with how fast the months seem to go by each year. I mean, Walmart already has Christmas stuff out. But I’m so ready for September to be over with and gone. I’m ready for some cooler weather and that sense of revitalization that October brings me each year. It’s probably the only time of the year when I can say that I fully feel a transition happening. Or I can sense a shift or change in life. Now, even though we all know that Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year it’s definitely closely followed up by Halloween. Christmas doesn’t need to be rushed and it can wait for its turn. So, last weekend Emery and I grabbed a few decorations to get us started in order to properly welcome October first next week. And y’all, it just makes me so giddy with excitement! Ahh! I’M. 👏 SO. 👏READY! 👏 But before I get too ahead of myself, I’m going to finish off this month strong. In terms of blogging anyway. So, let’s get this “Currently” post underway, shall we?
Playing: I haven’t been listening to one specific artist or artist this month. I’m patiently waiting for Dermot Kennedy’s new album to drop in October. And for Dennis LLoyd to announce some tour dates stateside. So, this month has been a nice mix of a lot of different music and podcasts. If you have a Spotify account, feel free to check out some of my frequently listened to playlists. “Strength, Mija” is at the top. Because sometimes I just need that pick me up. I need to listen to some empowering songs dealing with breakups, anger, strength, and bouncing back. I need some of those, “I’m going through it, but I'm gonna handle it and it's all gonna be okay” type of vibes in my life.
Reading: I’ve been really bad about this. I have hit a massive reading slump. Nothing has really caught my interest. Not even my beloved young adult genre. I’ve added several titles to my “to read” list but as soon as I start browsing through the blurbs I get bored and leave it at that. Obviously, this is why I haven’t had any book reviews up lately. However, I do have a goal to read at least one book for the month of October. Even if I have to force my way through it. I have a few books in mind, but I’m thinking of going with “Say You Still Love Me” by K.A. Tucker because I normally enjoy her work. Or, in the spirit of Halloween, I may give “The Vine Witch” by Luanne G. Smith a go. I snagged a copy for my Kindle thanks to this month’s Amazon First Reads selection. So, we’ll see! Fingers crossed that at least one of these snaps me out of my reading funk because I really need to get back to it.
Watching: I have soo many shows to catch up on. I even have movies that are piling up on my “to watch” list on Netflix. But did I make any headway on that list? Nooooope. Instead, I started watching the show “Yellowstone”. Because Kevin Costner. And ya’ll, this show is really good! Here’s the official description: The Duttons fight to defend their ranch and way of life from an Indian reservation and land developers, as medical issues, political aspirations and deep secrets put a strain on the family. It has drama, violence, suspense, action, love, and comedy. Okay, so the comedy part may be subjective. But it sucked me in from the opening scene of episode one. And it just keeps delivering, episode after episode after episode. So, if you have access to the Paramount Network definitely give this show a chance. I highly recommend it. I don’t believe it’s on Hulu or Netflix, but I watch it over on Philo with my monthly subscription.
And that concludes the "Currently" post for this month. If you have any suggestions be sure to drop me a line either here or on any of my other social media pages. Links are all at the top. I'm always on the lookout for new artists, films, or books so I'm totally open to recommendations. Until the next post, Happy Friday folks! 💛
