Hello September! It's the first year that I'm not going back to school and it feels really strange. I feel like I should be buying books and already doing homework. This was also the first summer that I didn't have off, so in a way it feels like I'm still waiting for summer to begin, but it's already over.
Now that it's September new entertainment is coming out soon! I'll for sure be seeing Hector and the Search for Happiness and The Maze Runner in theaters. Last month, I saw The Giver and found it thought-provoking and wonderful. What did you think?

ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of a lot of these movies, but need to see them! I can't wait for The Maze Runner to come out - I wonder if it will be the same as the book.
ReplyDeletenot a big movie month for me, need to save up for the ones coming out in November!
ReplyDeleteI've been looking forward to The Boxtrolls for what feels like forever. It's probably the only movie I'll go see in theaters this month.
ReplyDeleteMy friend has got us both tickets to see Lena discuss her book in London on Halloween. I almost wet myself when she asked me if I want to go with her. I will buy that book so hard the world won't know what's happened!!!
ReplyDeleteI am pumped for The Maze Runner. I haven't read the book but the movie looks amazing! I'm also excited for the new Scott Westerfeld book. I love his work and this one sounds right up my alley.
