The Drums of Autumn by Diana Gabaldon - The fourth book in the Outlander series; this was a re-read for me after watching the first three seasons of Outlander with my Mom. It was just as good as the first time I read it and made me so excited for the upcoming fourth season of Outlander!
Books on the Shelf
I have absolutely nothing on my shelf that is currently begging to be read - so any and all suggestions are appreciated! I have several books that I "could" read but none are just tempting me at the moment. *sigh*
Must See TV/Bingeworthy
The Mindy Project - I started watching this show on the recommendation of my sister and I could not love it more! The show is funny, heart-warming and wonderful and of course...I pretty much immediately fell in love with Danny Castellano, ha-ha! I just finished the third of six seasons, so I've still got a bit to see with this show but I can't wait to see how it plays out!
Escape to the Country - I could not love this show more if I tried! It's like House Hunters but in the English countryside and every single thing about it fills my soul with absolute joy and happiness! A couple looking to escape the the country view three homes, the third being a "mystery house" and it's interspersed with interesting lifestyle tidbits from the area of the English countryside that the home owners are looking to move to. It's such a delight and you can find this on Netflix if you fancy checking it out!
I have not gone to see a single movie this entire month. Not a one. Now - I did see Beauty & the Beast as part of a re-release on September 15th but I'm not going to count that here because I think it's well documented that I've seen Beauty & the Beast many many times and you don't need to know from me how wonderful it is - yet again, ha-ha!
Tasty Treats
I started the month with some tasty chicken stew that turned out really well in the crock pot - so good that I even blogged about it! I also tried a recipe for Sweet Corn Pasta that used corn kernels to make a sauce and it was divine - just typing about it makes me want another bowl. I had yummy pumpkin spice cinnamon rolls and tried some haggis at the Scottish Heritage Festival - I can't say I'd eat it again, but at least I tried it!
The end of the month brought the delicious Limoncello Tortufa that was some sort of lemon and vanilla miracle in the shape of food! I also had Duck Donuts for the first time and tried Peanut Soup (yum!) and Syllabub (yum!) for the first time at King's Arms Tavern!
Tunes & Talking
I've kept busy this month listening to some of my favorite podcasts: The Big Boo Cast, The Popcast with Knox & Jamie, Lore and Cabinet of Curiosities and when I wasn't listening to a podcast I was probably listening the soundtracks from Game of Thrones and Outlander. I've also been frequenting a station called New Age Instrumental on Pandora, ha-ha! All the instrumental music for me please!
What I'm Looking Forward To
Happy Birthday to Me - I'm not sure how I'll be celebrating my actual birthday (I'm in Asheville celebrating this weekend) on the 6th but I'm always glad to celebrate another year of life. Shortly before I turned 30, I really got into a funk about...turning 30...but I've come to realize that the alternative to celebrating another birthday is pretty grim, so I should celebrate life - regardless of my age. So here's to 34! Yikes!
