(Favourite) Television: This month there is one particular stand out for a television series I have been loving this month and that is Brooklyn Nine-Nine. I have absolutely no words for how much I love this series. It's definitely a new favourite, and I will be adding it to 'My Favourites' list as soon I am done writing this post. It's a hilarious, fresh comedy with one of the most perfect casts I've ever watched and is truly groundbreaking. This show should be mandatory watching for everyone. I don't want to go on and on about how amazing it is but seriously, just do yourself a favour and if you're not watching it already: GO! (I actually give you permission to leave this blog post on the condition that you watch this show it is that amazing . . . and then come back and read the rest!)
I also have to give a massive honourable mention to My Mad Fat Diary. I won't talk about it much here, because I want to write a whole post on it and I'm only just finished Season 1, so watch this space!
(Favourite) Film: Surprisingly, March has been a pretty good month for films and I. Usually, I will watch two or three films in a month, four if I'm lucky. I do favour television quite a bit more. This month, for some reason, I found more and more I was wanting to watch a film over any episodes of television I had lined up. I think that there were a lot of reasons for this, one of which was the fact that I crammed in heaps for before the Oscars, the other of which was I'm in a little bit of a television rut at the moment (I think I just have too many choices!). I'll be writing a small post about the films I have been watching, so keep an eye out for that, but without further ado, onto my favourite which I have to say was: Howl's Moving Castle. I have never watched a Studio Ghibli film before this, so I didn't know what to expect but I can tell you that since watching this I have now seen another three and plan on seeing many more. They were all films that are just enjoyable, cute and fun. The animation is absolutely stunning and so beautiful. I do have a post coming up on the films I watched in March so look out for that soon!
(Favourite) Reading: February was a big month for reading. I was on holiday in Hawaii and I just powered through quite a few books that I had been meaning to read for ages. March, with the start of uni again, has seen a rapid decline in my reading time. I am going to do a bog post sometime soon about some books I've been loving/looking forward to reading, so keep an eye out for that too. Here's an Empire article I absolutely adored reading: it's the exact article that Empire published in their June 1994 issue about the movie Four Wedding's and a Funeral (if you weren't already aware, that's my favourite movie). For this month's favourite I have to go with something I've read before and that is Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins. Unlike the other two in the series (The Hunger Games and Catching Fire) I haven't read this one since I originally did around three years ago. Since I saw Catching Fire I have wanted to re-read because I just couldn't really remember any of the details of what happened anymore. I finally managed to start it again a few days ago and I've just really been enjoying it. It's almost like reading it for the first time again. I have had to put it down a few times because I couldn't see the pages through my tears (no one mention Finnick) but it's also helped me get back into reading as I've started and finished two more books in the mean time.
