Farewell May

Is May already over? Seriously? Already? Oh sheesh. But anyway, I guess that means that we are now in my favorite month, June.

But first a little wrap up for last month.

Life

This month I have been focusing on "taking care of myself". Just the little things. Drinking more water, eating healthier, exercising more, not letting myself dwell on negative thoughts. It isn't much but it has certainly helped with my state of mind.

Reading

I've suffered from a bit of reader's block lately. I only got two books read this month, but they were both really great reads!

To Best the Boys by Mary Weber
5 stars!
Labyrinth// Disguise// Science

Mark of the Raven by Morgan L. Busse
4.5 stars
Dreamwalking// Assassins// World Building

Screen Time

Endgame

I've followed along the Marvel Universe since Iron Man 1 so of course I was invested in seeing Endgame. Now no spoilers. I will simply say that this movie didn't disappoint me like many of the more recent Marvel movies have. But it didn't wow me either.

Guardians of the Galaxy

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

Maybe my favorite thing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, obviously I had to re-watch these after Endgame. No regrets.

Hacksaw Ridge

Wowza. This was such a powerful movie, I loved it. But also... it's rated R for violence and my goodness... O.o

Tolkien

Went to see this one in theaters too. I enjoyed it. I don't know that much of Tolkien's life outside of the basics and how he developed his writing style so I can't say how far it went with historical accuracy. But I certainly enjoyed the nods to the different mythologies that he studied and inspired his works. I would classify it as The Man Who Invented Christmas meets a war movie.

Harry Price Ghost Hunter

Pretty creepy. Pretty creepy indeed. This movie keeps you guessing and on your toes. I sort of wish they had made a full series out of it, but oh well.

Mortal Engines

I knew literally nothing about this movie going in except that it was directed by Peter Jackson and Elrond was the bad guy. But, guys, this movie was amazing. I loved it so much! My favorite movie this month, without a doubt.

Thor: Tales of Asgard

Watched the pilot episode for this since my mom had bought it at a library sale. I'd thought it would be dumb but it was actually pretty good? I was surprised, but the relationship between Thor and Loki was precious. And the warriors three were awesome. Also, I loved the nods to Norse mythology (and some others) in it.

Doctor Who Season 2

Excuse the sounds of crying, that's just me because I finished Doctor Who Season 2. Roooooosssseeee!!!!

Victoria Season 3

Finally got all caught up on this show. I loved it showing the Crystal Palace, but my goodness. YOU CAN'T END A SEASON LIKE THAT!!!

The Hunger Games

Catching Fire

Watched these two since my brother finally read the series so now he can watch the movies. Classics.

Writing

Been focusing most of my time and energy on editing A Time of Trepidation, Pirates, and Lost Princesses it's slow progress, but progress all the same. I also started working on a Sci-Fi project for the GTW 100-for-100 writing challenge.

Toward the end of the month, I finally heard back from Uncommon Universes Publishing where I sent Of Gold and Iron to. They requested that I send them the whole manuscript to be reviewed!!! I still am freaking out over that! :D

Anyway, that's all for this month. What have you been up to? Have you seen Mortal Engines yet? Are you partaking in the 100-for-100 challenge? Comment Below!
