My Summer Plans!

-


Hey Guys x

So, I finish college next week (forever!) and I could not be more excited!

Having three months to literally do whatever I want with no obligations, restrictions or responsibilities is the most exciting prospect!

I have a few things that I really want to get done within the next three months, so I thought that I would share some of my plans with you.

Maybe my plans could help to inspire some of your summer plans too!

Read a lot of books!


There are so many books that I'm planning to read this summer. At least 10! I've already put them in the order in which I'm going to read them, so as soon as my last exam is finished, I'm going to go through the list and read as many as I can. And of course review them for you!

Post a lot more!
I haven't really been posting a lot in the last few weeks because I've been really busy revising for - and taking - exams! I still post regularly, but I don't have the time to put all my efforts into my posts because I've needed to spend all my time with my head in my revision books! But once my exams finish, I am going to be spending a lot of time on my blog! Writing posts, taking pictures and just generally commenting more on other people's blogs too. I can't wait!

Finish writing my book!


Some of you might know that I've been writing a book. Just like my blog, my book has also had to take a back-seat while I revise for my exams. However, I am so excited to continue writing it. I've actually never been more excited about something that I've been working on and I can't wait to finally finish it - even if it never gets published.

Go on holiday


I'm not 100% sure if this is actually going to happen yet but I would really like to go on holiday this year! I don't particularly want to go on a plane, but somewhere nice in the UK would be really great!

See Friends!














This is one of the most important things to me! Come September/October, my friends and I will be spread out all over the UK, where we'll be going to various colleges and universities. None of us are planning to go to the same place, so we won't be seeing each other as often as we do now. So I definitely want to spend a lot of time with my friends in the next 3 months!

Watch a lot of movies!


I have been a bit obsessed with the MARVEL cinematic universe lately, so I'm definitely going to use the summer to watch as many MARVEL movies as I can, as many as there are! But also, there's a lot of movies that I need to catch up with, so the summer is going to see my glued to my TV screen!

Bake


And the last, but arguably best thing I really want to do is bake. The most important thing that I want to make are Tanya Burr's cookies! I haven't made them since last summer, which you can see here! But this time, I want to completely stick to the recipe and make them exactly the same way that Tanya does!

Thank you for reading.

Comment below how you want to spend your summer!

Keep Smiling - Lou xx

    My summer goals literally consists of everything you listed haha. I'm not really that big of a reader but I really want to start reading so that's my ultimate goal this summer. I recently just finished reading "Seriously...I'm Kidding" by Ellen Degeneres and it was so good!! Now I'm on to "The Unwritten Rule" by Elizabeth Scott :) Hope you have a great summer!! :D

    I only have 8 books on my summer TBR list, but that's just because I know, that I'll pick up random books in between those 8. x) As for other plans, I definitely want to write more and reconsider some of my life choices.
    Good luck with your book! <3

The Usual Suspects | 100 Movies Bucket List

  This is the second movie for the bucket list that I forgot to write a post for! I saw this back in May so my memory might be a bit rusty, but it was a re-watch so I'm pretty clear on the plot and how I feel about it. I liked this movie. I probably liked it the same amount this time that I did on my first watch. It's a great story, told in a really interesting way. And while I probably didn't find it completely interesting the whole way through, it was worth it to get to the twist. For me, a plot twist is such an underrated device. I love them so much I actively seek them out in both movies and books. A good plot twist can make an otherwise bad movie re-watch-worthy. There are a few twisty movies on the bucket list, and this one has one of the best twists. Even if you don't like the movie as a whole, the twist makes everything so much more interesting. Another thing the twist does is make you want to watch the film all over again. I saw it months ago now, and I really

Woman of the Hour | Film Review

  Amidst a series of murders in LA, aspiring actress Cheryl (Anna Kendrick) crosses paths with a serial killer (Daniel Zovatto) on a dating show. I was really excited to see this film as soon as I saw the trailer. Even in that short space of time it got across a tense, sinister atmosphere that made the film seem like a really interesting watch, especially being a true story. Thankfully I loved the film, and the atmosphere it created was part of the reason why. From the first scene we understand the tone and can already kind of guess how the rest of the film will feel. The tension was created expertly. There were multiple times while watching the film where I was holding my breath without realising, and this feeling didn't go away until the film was over. In the last 30 minutes particularly, I actually had to pause the film to remind myself to breathe because it was that intense. Those 30 minutes were so well written and crafted - I don't think I've even seen a full-on horro

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly | 100 Movies Bucket List

Next on the list was 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly'. This isn't one I was particularly looking forward to.  I've never been a huge fan of Westerns, so watching what is probably the most famous Western for 2 and a half hours wasn't high on my to-do list.  But because of that, it was actually a much more intriguing watch than I thought it would be. It took me quite a while to really get into it, but once I got the plot and focused on it, I found the story was a great one. What made it great for me more than anything was the characters. I really enjoyed watching them interact. And as someone who had only seen Clint Eastwood in 'The Bridges of Madison County' and 'Million Dollar Baby' before this, I definitely gained a newfound respect for him as an actor. Whenever I think of Westerns, my mind instantly goes to 'Back to the Future 3', even though the actual movies aren't like this in any way. But this movie was the first to directly remind

Subservience | Film Review

While struggling with a sick wife and two children, Nick (Michele Morrone) hires an AI android called Alice (Megan Fox) to help out around the house. But when Alice becomes self-aware, Nick finds that he and his family are suddenly in danger. I've watched a few AI-based horror movies in the last month or so, so I was in the mood to give another one a shot. As I'd somewhat enjoyed the others, I thought I'd like this one too. Unfortunately, I didn't like this one much at all. For a start (and this is my fault as I've already mentioned seeing a few films with this concept recently) but the AI-gone-bad premise is no longer new. And when a film uses the concept but doesn't bring any new ideas, it starts feeling a bit stale. This one didn't really have anything new to add to that conversation, and so it didn't feel original. Having said that, I did like that it got right into the story straight away. We know the family, we know their circumstances, we know how

Brothers | Film Review

While attempting to go straight, former criminal Moke's (Josh Brolin) efforts are derailed when he is reunited with his twin brother Jady (Peter Dinklage), who convinces him to join a cross-country road-trip to retrieve the score of a lifetime. I remember seeing the trailer for this a few months ago and being surprised by the actors involved, because no one seemed to be anticipating its release at all. I wasn't particularly interested in the plot, but as a fan of a few of the actors in it, I wanted to see it. And after watching the film, I understand why no one was really talking about it. But let's start with the good things! The characters are great. Jady and Moke are fun characters to spend time with, and the actors had great chemistry. If nothing else in the film felt realistic, their brotherly banter worked. At the beginning, it was funnier than I expected it to be. This unfortunately didn't last and the film got less and less funny as it went on, but for a while t
