We are just about 91.7% over with 2016! Before I go offline for my infusion on Wednesday, let’s talk about what I loved in November and a little holiday present from me to 2 of you.
Listen
- Glory Days, Little Mix’s new album
- Christmas music! – I make myself wait until after Thanksgiving to listen to Christmas music so I don’t get sick of it by Christmas itself.
- Classical music – This has been my school work music for the past year, and it works. You may not know that I grew up playing violin, viola, and flute, and I took private lessons as well as played in orchestra and band. Classical music is a part of who I am.
Read
Other than school work, I read Written in My Own Heart’s Blood (one of the Outlander books) and The Scarlet Lion in November. I do my reading for fun on Audible now since I do so much book reading for school, and it’s great to read again without the eye strain I get for reading school work and for fun.

Watch
- Bones – I finally got around to watching the 10th and 11th seasons and I’m so glad I did. The perfect mix of humor, science, crime solving, and excellent characters.
- The Queen
- Young Victoria – As you can tell, I like historical dramas.
- How To Get Away with Murder – Um, can we talk about who died? God dammit, Shonda!
- Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life – I loved this so, so much. I actually did feel closure with the famous last four words (but I won’t say why in case you haven’t seen it yet!)
