Wrapping Up June!

June was a weird one for me, having finished a month of extremely intense revision for my AS exams back in May, I suddenly found myself having free time, leading to a strange feeling of disorientation. Going from having every second filled with stuff to do, to doing basically nothing was a little jarring to say the least. But the free time meant that I could do more reading, spend more time with my friends and achieve nothing in a day without feeling too guilty. Overall June was a good one. So today (having been absent for way too long- sorry!) I am going to wrap up my month!

Books

-The Unexpected Everything by Morgan Matson- ★★★★✩

-Hopeless by Colleen Hoover- ★★★★✩

-Red Rising by Pierce Brown- ★★★★✩

Although three books in one month is pitiful to most readers, it was definitely a step up for me in consideration to my previous couple of months. Exams meant that I had little to no time to read, so getting back into reading has been lovely. The three books I read were all solid reads which I would recommend, Red Rising was definitely an unexpected surprise for me; along with the fun of The Unexpected Everything and the addictive Hopeless, I definitely had a good reading month in June.

The month of June is always exciting for me living on the Isle of Wight, as we get one of the biggest music festivals in the country right on our doorstep every year. That being the Isle of Wight festival, which has hosted some incredible acts over the years. This year I decided that I just HAD to go, which I do not regret one bit. I had a blast with my best friends whilst seeing amazing acts, my highlights were Everything Everything, Faithless, Twin Atlantic, Stereophonics, The Who, Busted, Feeder and the absolutely incredible Queen and Adam Lambert. I'm still not over how good that weekend was.

The songs that I had on repeat this month-

-Everything Everything- No Reptiles

-Two Door Cinema Club- Are We Ready? 

-EXO- Monster

-LUNA- Free Somebody

-The Who- Baba O'Riley

Film/ TV

This month I watched a couple of films in my media class which I really enjoyed. One of which was Joy (starring Jennifer Lawrence) which I absolutely adored, the other being Kingsman: The Secret Service which was hilarious and a very well made film. I recommend them both, even though they are two very different movies. 

As for TV, I have loved binge watching Gossip Girl again (I only have one episode of the entire show left which I am frantically putting off), as well as loving the Korean drama Descendants of the Sun which was  basically all I did for two days of June... Not sorry.

So that basically wraps up my June, it was a fun month (even if the weather in Britain was a severe let down)... July brings the end of the school year and some hardcore revising for my driving theory test (yay) and I'm super excited for the Booktubeathon (TBR to come). Thanks so much for reading this post and I'll be back soon for another one,
