I read 14 books in October! // #amcurrently

Another month has passed us by and suddenly it's November and there are only 53 days until Christmas. (But who's counting.) I swear it was only June last week?

WHERE HAS THE YEAR GONE???

Regardless of how it happened, October is over. That means it's time to discuss the month that was! Inspired by Cait @ Paper Fury, I've decided to write this wrap-up as an #amcurrently post so that I can gush about all the things I've been loving during the month, not just books!

So, without further ado, let's get into it!

#amcurrently // reading...

I read 14 books in October! F-O-U-R-T-E-E-N. Which I think is the most I've ever read in a single month?! GO ME! And almost all of them were at least four-star reads!! So it really has been a tip-top reading month for me!

new to the tbr pile:

I only purchased two books in October! YAY RESTRAINT! And The Boneless Mercies came in The YA Chronicles September box so really I only purchased one book?

       

But then a bunch of my library holds all became available in the last week of the month... so guess what I'll be reading in November?!

#amcurrently // watching...

October was all about one show for me. Queer Eye! I am OBSESSED. Early in the month, I binge-watched both seasons in just a few days and I love it so much that now I'm rewatching it all again! I need more!

For some now-unfathomable reason, I avoided watching the show when it first premiered at the beginning of the year even though literally everyone was raving about it. I was mildly curious in June when I heard that they were in Australia to film a mini-episode in the town of Yass, but still I didn't watch it.

WHY, NIAMH?! WHY DID YOU SIT ON THIS PURE DELIGHT OF A SHOW FOR THE BETTER PART OF A YEAR?!

I was hooked after the very first episode. It's honestly so amazing. I love the Fab Five so much and want nothing more than to be BFFs with all of them. UGH THEY'RE SO CUTE.

#amcurrently // thinking about...

Look, I have thoughts. Lots, sometimes. Not all about books and TV shows.

• Firstly, how are there only two months left in 2018?!
• Again, WHERE HAS THE YEAR GONE???
• Seriously, what have I actually done this year?
• *cries*
• But now that it's November, is it socially acceptable for me to put up the Christmas tree and blast Christmas carols 24/7? Y/N?
• I mean, I've already started Christmas shopping... for myself...
• Okay, yes. It's books. I've ordered myself books for Christmas.
• Hey, at least I'm on brand.
• In other news, we received this first look at Game of Thrones season 8 yesterday and OH MY LORD AM I EXCITED!

 

• But mostly terrified. It's going to be intense. Everyone will probably die. I will probably die.
• And there's still SO LONG to wait.

Are you excited/terrified for the final season of Game of Thrones? Or are you as obsessed with Queer Eye as I am?  Let's chat! Leave me a comment and tell me all about what you've been up to (and what you've been reading!) in the month of October!

Niamh, xo.
