hello, hello, hello!




Hey friends!!!

It's been a minute! I seem to have a terrible habit of dropping on the earth periodically, then I start to miss blogging again, and must make my return!

So here I am again! I certainly can't promise I will be posting with any regularity (because who are we kidding, this is Miss Woodhouse talking), but I will definitely be popping in now and again with a fun post for ya'll!

So, to kick off my return, I thought I'd give you a brief update on myself! 


The Ordinary: 

I really haven't been doing much out of the ordinary, aside from a bit of traveling, which has been fantastic!


The Books:

I will probably do some more in depth posts about some of these books later, but for now...

I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith: Talk about an absolutely lovely vibe. A little quirky and weird in some spots, but an excellent read just the same.

All Creatures Great and Small by James Herriot: SO GOOD. Literally so wholesome and sweet and hilarious, and I mean, it's the English Dales! And English Villages! And a quaint veterinary practice! What more could one ask for?

Jewel of The Nile by Tessa Afshar: Interesting. Definitely not terrible, but a little cheesy. Enjoyably cheesy though.

The Last Battle by C.S. Lewis: Believe it or not, this was the first time I've read all the way through the Narnia series. And it was rough, my friends. When the first line of the book is, "In the last days of Narnia...", you know it's gonna be a hard one. Definitely extremely well done (I mean, it's Clive Staples Lewis) and the last few chapters made me cry, but I believe it's safe to say I will probably not be reading that one again. I'm still emotionally recovering XD

The Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling: SO SO SOOOO MANY THOUGHTS. but I'm saving that for a post of it's own ;)


The TV Shows and Movies:

All Creatures Great and Small: JUST AS WHOLESOME, IF NOT MORE, THAN THE BOOK. Absolutely Perfect.

Heartland: A lot of fun. A little dramatic and angsty at times, but cute. 

Road to Avonlea: Who are we kidding, it will forever and always be my comfort show <3

Once Upon a Time: My goodness gracious, the cheeeeeeese. But I can't help it, I get hooked sometimes XD

Agent Carter: Really trying to stick this one out, because I love Peggy Carter and the 1940s, but wow, why so gory, Marvel folks??

Top Gun: Maverick: THE WAY I LOVE THIS MOVIE. Again, absolutely deserving of its own post, because WOW. The cinematography, the music, the storyline, ROOSTER! I mean, please, the whole thing is cinematic perfection!

Downton Abbey: A New Era: Fabulous, as always. It's nice to finally see Anna and Bates #thriving. Actually most of them are doing pretty good in this movie, so that was nice XD. Nothing jaw dropping, but it had a lovely aesthetic and a fairly good storyline. (ALTHOUGH, anyone else bothered that they basically stole the plot of Singin' in the Rain?!? That was rather dumb.)


The Current Obsessions:

Pinterest: Forever and Always a major fan of Pinterest. I mean, I get to organize pretty pictures into pretty little boxes, what more could you want?

The Marauders: This stems from my recent Harry Potter read, and no doubt you will be hearing a LOT more about them in future. Seriously, I've never been this invested in a bunch of characters who never even got their own books??! LIKE THEY'RE AMAZING. send help

Writing: Probably a given, but I tend to go through very dry spells when I just don't feel inspired, and I've just come out of one of those feeling very excited to write and just get my thoughts out on paper!


That's about it for now! I'm excited to be back, yet again! I also have been trying to catch up on commenting on everyone's recent posts, but my google account is being weird and not letting me comment as myself, so that's a work in progress. 

How about you all! What have you been up to? How's life? Drop me a comment and let's chat!!


Yours Truly,

Miss Woodhouse
