OCTOBER RECAP // exams & book hype
This is late and I’ve come to the conclusion that exams are literally the worst and source of my pain.
- To Kill A Kingdom by Alexandra Christo {★★★★☆}: I had such a great time with this delicious book. I loved the wit, and the sirens were epic. I loved the pacing of the romance and the world-building was really well done. I overall just had a great time with this book. Click here for my review!
- Renegades by Marissa Meyer {★★★★☆}: Wow this book. I feel like I’ve said it a million times but it’s the book I never knew I needed. I have this new adoration for superheroes. I loved the world and characters in this book, it was extremely slow but I quite liked that. I’m so hyped for the second book!! Click here for my review.
Since this is so late it probably not even worth mentioning what I want to read BUT I’m almost finished with exams and I just want to read all the books so we’ll see how this goes….
- A Gathering of Shadows by V.E. Schwab
- What If It’s Us by Becky Albertalli & Adam Silvera
- Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
- Wildcard by Marie Lu
- The Bane Chronicles by Cassandra Clare (and more)
- I’M GOING TO BE WORKING WITH BARGAIN BOOKS AND I’M SO FREAKING EXCITED
- That’s a local bookstore by the way and we have so many cool things planned
- I’m nearing 700 followers but Instagram hates me so I keep losing a whole bunch of people and they magically come back??
- Okay nothing else but I’ve probably forgotten
that’s what I get for never posting
I died and came back to life due to a certain episode of Shameless *cough* gallavich *cough* and my life is complete. And now all I want to do is rewatch the show HALP my heart can’t handle.
Oh my gosh, I binged The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and my mind is a mess?? I loved the characters but the plot freaked me out and scared the heck out of me. Harvey is amazing and I just,,, truly have no words.
I had the best time rewatching X-men. I also watched loads of shitty movies and had the best time. But I have a whole post about movies I’ve been watching coming soon so look out for that.
Riverdale is freaking me out. I’m losing my patience?? There are loads of plot holes and it’s just not going anywhere? I hated the whole “football” thing and THE DANCE *vomits* what is happening? The flashback thing was cool but please leave The Breakfast Club out of it. Idk it’s just super weird and I’m not a fan.
Yeah, this is why I’m reverting back to Friends and Gilmore Girls. Really though, I’m watching here and there and having THE BEST time.
- EXAMS ARE KILLING ME
- I hate stress
- Also, recently, my mental health hasn’t been making me feel so good and I don’t feel like myself which sucks
- My siblings ARE READING THOUGH
- I gave my sister Six of Crows and my brother Nevermoor and they’re obsessed
- It’s also my birthday soon which is cool but going to be super low-key
HOW WAS YOUR MONTH? DID YOU READ ANY GOOD BOOKS? WHAT ARE SOME THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN HAPPENING? I’D LOVE TO KNOW!

Yes X-Men!!! I’ve been dying to do a series rewatch and I think after I get all caught up on the Marvel Avengers Universe (I only have three movies left), I’m going to start rewatch their X-Men Universe. It’s just such an interesting world; my favorite movie has to be Wolverine’s origin story. I know a lot of people didn’t like it but I loved it 🙂 I’m still torn about whether I’m going to watch the new one that’s coming out that looks back to the beginning (with the whole Jean thing). Are you going to watch it?
Also, I just got To Kill A Kingdom from the library and I’m dying to read it! I still have like three books from the library that I haven’t read yet, though, so it’ll have to be at the end of the line for now 🙁 Still, I’m glad you hear you liked it!
Have a lovely rest of November, Ruby!

Ahh yes!! They’re the best. I’m actually white into the newer X-men so I’m also planning on getting to them as well. Ahah I have the same problem, way too many books to read. TKAK is great though! Thank you, you too ❤️
