🍂MY COSY AUTUMN FILMS🍂

-

 Hello, long time no see!

If you are new here and you don't already know - I am at university and my time is spread very thin! I haven't posted since moving here in September and it really is about time. 

I popped a poll up on my Instagram story last night and I had a huge response with most people wanting to see this post so I sat down today and had a big think about movies that make me feel cosy and autumnal.

 If you voted for the other post option which was a rundown of my reads for Module 2 of my degree then that will be up next Sunday!

I had hoped to go out and take some nice autumnal photos for this post but late last night I was told to isolate by NHS track & trace for the next 10 days so we will have to make do with slightly less impressive photos :( 




1) Pocahontas
   There is just so much autumnal imagery in this film. Swirling leaves, campfires, sunsets. It's one of Disney's most gorgeous animations in my opinion.

2) You've Got Mail
       Slightly older pick here but definitely one of my favourites. I love the autumn and winter scenes in this film and it's such an easy funny watch. I love the whole aesthetic of the 90s and this film just reminds me of being cosy watching it in my nan's living room when we went to visit her. 

3) The Nightmare Before Christmas
     I feel like this one is just such a given! It's Disney, it's Halloween and it's Christmas. You actually can't go wrong. I don't really like Tim Burton films usually as I'm not a big fan of creepy but the songs and everything in this one are just so fun and it's gets me in the mood for both autumn and winter. 





4) Christopher Robin
      oops another Disney film - I am obsessed! I think this movie is just so warm, fuzzy and nostalgic and great for all year round to be honest - but something about the hundred acre wood always makes me feel autumnal. 

5) Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone 
    Okay so I know that Harry Potter is a controversial topic nowadays and for very good reason - however I personally choose to separate the author from the fiction (I know not everyone agrees but please be respectful). I just love the Halloween and Christmas scenes in this movie and the castle looks so warm and snug.

    Great choices! I tend to lean towards cosy rom-coms around this time of year like The Holiday :)

    The only one of these that I haven't seen is Christopher Robin, so I might need to rectify that soon! I am all about a cozy film and Harry Potter or a cute romantic comedy make me quite happy!

    The nightmare before christmas is up there for me as well, I love it! I haven't rewatched the Harry Potter films in ages, I think the last time I did so was about 2 years ago, but they're still one of my favourite film franchises, and always makes me feel good 😊

    I have never actually watched Pocahontas before. I probably should! Oddly enough, some of the soundtracks from Pocahontas are on my Spotify playlist, so I am familiar with some of the songs haha! Thanks for these recommendations! :)

Hiya everyone... Long time, no see! I honestly do not know where this month has gone. It's nearly the end of July already and I've barely had time to notice it go by. However, I have now left my job and have the next 6 ish weeks to prepare for university. I have a biggg list of books to read and a chance to enjoy time with my family. With plenty of time for blogging thrown in too!  I am a huge classics fan and from the reading list I've already received for the first term of my degree, university is going to fuel my passion even more. There are some great books on my shelf to read before September, including The Great Gatsby and Dracula!!  With that being said. Here is my  Classics TBR... 📚 David Copperfield - Charles Dickens 📚 This is Dickens' most famous bildungsroman novel and has some of his better known characters including Uriah Heep and Betsey Trotwood. The novel is all about coming of age and the journey through Copperfield's dramatic life.  This novel is

Hello everyone.  🖤 My plan for June and every month going forward is to use my blog and my social media following to write and share posts about the Black Lives Matter movement and to use my passion for books to promote Black authors and educational books about racism and BLM.  I am willing to admit that I have read very little non-fiction about racism in the UK or US, police brutality or anti-racism, but I plan to buy and read as many as I can from now on. All of the books that are going to feature in this post are books that have been recommended to me buy fellow bloggers or that I have seen on Twitter and Instagram posts and decided to research. Therefore I have not read any yet - this is in effect  MY ANTI-RACISM TBR!!! It's quite long but there's so many amazing books that I have found that I want to share.  .................... #1  'SO YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT RACE' - IJEOMA OLUO This book addresses the topics of white privilege, police brutality, racist language a
