Things I loved in September

Posted on October 2, 2023November 1, 2023 by Nadine Shambrook

September 2023 Favourites

Watching

Film

  • Past Lives (2023) – I thought I made it through without shedding a tear, but those final 5 minutes had be sobbing.
  • Cicada (2020)
  • The King of Comedy (1982)
  • Goodfellas (1990) 
  • Taxi Driver (1976) – These last three were long overdue and brilliant. I am Scorsese and DeNiro/angry men’d out! October must be happier more women-led films.

Television

  • Starstruck (2021 – ) – (series 3). Brilliant
  • Abbott Elementary (2021 – ) (last half of season 2)
  • Taskmaster NZ (2020 – ) (series 1 and 2). As good as the UK version. I love Paul so much more than Alex!

Reading

  • Red, White & Royal Blue –  Casey McQuiston (including bonus chapter!)

“Before you, I was all right letting everything happen to me. I honestly have never thought I deserved to choose.” His hand moves, fingertips brushing a curl behind Alex’s ear. “But you treat me like I do.”

  • Bi: The Hidden Culture, History and Science of Bisexuality – Julia Shaw (audiobook and print)

Listening

Music

  • GUTS – Maybe better than SOUR. Obsessed with the high energy ones: get him back!, bad idea right?, all-american bitch, love is embarassing, ballad of a homeschooled girl
  • Into Your Room – Holly Humberstone – I thought about this song being about Alex and Henry from Red, White & Royal Blue so naturally it’s my current number 1 on my On Repeat
  • Vertigo – Griff – Griff only makes beautiful songs it seems.
  • current location – LANY
  • Comfort – Nicholas Galitzine

Podcasts

  • None this month again. I seem to be out of love with them for a bit.

And more

  • My first dermaplaning experience – I fear I may become addicted
  • Making those TikTok 2 ingredient flatbreads – I fear I may become addicted to this too

This is it now. 2 big months lined up for me, followed by December.
