Taking Stock: November

Hello November:

Tea & Toast:



Looking forward to: Christmas!

Watching: Jessica Jones.
Reading: The Girls at the Kingfisher Club, Brooklyn, Winter’s Bone, After the Golden Age, Jim Henson: The Biography.
Listening: To the Sussex Carol.
Burning: Honeysuckle-scented candles. I love having one close to my desk when I’m writing.
Waiting: For snow.
Craving: A cup of tea and a window seat to sip it on.
Wishing: I had more time (and more motivation) to do the things I want to do.
Seeing: Mockingjay Part 2 at the theater.

    1. Thanks! Choosing pictures is probably the most fun part of putting together these posts (and since fall & winter are probably my favorite seasons, I always try to find some extra pretty ones around this time). If you read my story, I hope you enjoy it :)

  2. Mockingjay Part 2 was the best. And the worst, all at once. The feelsssss.

    1. I really enjoyed it! I did wish Annie had shown up more, though. (Admittedly, she doesn't show up much more in the book.) She's my favorite character.

    1. Snow's great when it's fresh! Once it turns to slush I do start hating it, but it hasn't snowed yet even once where I live.
      I loved the last scene of Mockingjay. It was so sweet and sad--I think they pulled it off perfectly!
