Who else is NOT a fan of the first month of the year? I think it is the fall after the Christmas high that really makes January one of those months where nothing at all good can possibly happen. Book-wise, for me, that January fit the same pattern of horrendousness. I read nothing good and the few books I managed to get through took forever.

So: there are no bookish favourites this month. But there were others!

The Veronica Mars Trailer (!!!)

OMG THIS MOVIE. Just… wow. I absolutely adored the trailer. I don’t know what I was expecting from the Veronica Mars movie, but this was not it. This? This is so, so much better.

It’s not that I am late to board the Pinterest bandwagon… its more like I’ve been actively avoiding it every time it comes around. I am a Tumblr girl and proud. But, when it comes to finding newly released book covers, Pinterest is pretty fantastic. I still prefer goodreads for my bookish lists and tumblr will always be my go-to social platform, but Pinterest has let me discover some pretties that I might otherwise have missed! I’m follow-able on darlingbooks.

Though all its home decor crap still freaks me out.

Psych (in its last season cries)

If you haven’t been watching Psych these past eight years, you’ve been missing out on an AMAZING show. It’s funny, fun and just ludicrously entertaining. And its eighth season – which, it turns out, is its last (NOOOOOOOOO) – has been fantabulous. It is one of those rare shows that has just improved with time… and I don’t know what I am going to do without it. I’ve been watching it since the very first episode and I honestly thought it would go on forever.

*sniffles*

Well, that was a depressing way to end the month. In other complaints: I also miss the snow. So, February, please provide:

a) Some amazing reads

b) A “psych!” from USA regarding Psych

c) Snow

OK? Cheers.

I love your January banner! I live in a super sunny part of the States, but this winter has looked rather like that 😉

Totally with you on the Veronica Mars trailer – it is going to be Epic. 🙂
