SASSY Saturday

Hey there my lovelies!

Welcome back to the eight round of my new montly blog meme „SASSY Saturday“!

How does it work? Well, that’s easy! 😉

All you have to do is to follow those three golden rules:

1. Credit the creator of this tag (The Sassy Library Fox) and link back. (so I can see all your amazing answers!)
2. Answer the 5 questions below!
3. AND enjoy doing the blog meme! 😛 

„SASSY Saturday“ is planned to be a monthly meme but if you want to do it more often feel free to go for it! This meme was created to get to know other bloggers, their new obsessions and to reflect on your own last month! Above all it was created to have fun though! 😉 If you want you can also use the banner I created! This said let’s head to the good part:

S – Series you loved this month

„Dash & Lily“! I’m so glad Netflix is still going strong because during this second lockdown I definitely need some series and movie distractions. *lol* This said „Dash & Lily“ was great! I loved that they got to know each other through a book and the back and forth between them was fun! XD I didn’t know this was based on a book but once I figured it out I did my research and found out that Rachel Cohn and David Levithan wrote this together. Considering the cuteness I’m not surprised. ;P I think I might give it a try when I’m in the mood for Christmas cheer. For now I can really recommend the series! It’s very sweet and gives you all those happy giddy feelings. =)

A – Author you discovered

Erin A. Craig! I’m currently reading „House of Salt and Sorrows“ and I think I’m on my way of becoming a huge Craig fan. The dark and gloomy atmosphere of this book is just amazing and I love the world building so far! I can’t believe this is actually her first book because damn this is great!! So yes, Erin A. Craig is THE new author I discovered last month! 😉

S – Song you couldn’t get enough of

Billie Eilish – when the party’s over

I know a lot of people say this and I’ll say it too: I love Billie Eilish and her songs! They are all so meaningful and her voice! Boy, this girl has such an amazing voice! ❤ „when the party’s over“ is a really beautiful song and you can’t help but hurt with her. I think we all made experiences like that and Billie manages to convey them in such a careful and gentle manner. I can really recommend to watch the video Billie Eilish carpool karaoke with James Corden! It’s amazing and captures Billie, her life, her songs and how she recorded them (in her own room btw!!!) so well!

S – Surprise – Something that totally caught you off guard

November was a very sad and tough month for Austria. We didn’t just go into another lockdown but we also grieved. On November 2nd terrorists attacked people in the first district of Vienna and our whole country was upset, angry, confused and twitchy. Still, no matter how hard the blow, despite all the restrictions and keeping our distance in times of Covid, we still managed to give each other strength and the solidarity of the people in my country was overwhemling. ❤ I’ve never been so proud to be Austrian and I loved that everyone was taking care of each other. So yes, the strong solidarity surprised me but it also gave me hope for the future and made me very proud. 😀

The BTS ‚BE‘ Book Tag + song commentary by Sabrina @ Notes From A Paper Plane Nomad

I love it when people create original tags and Sabrina’s original tags are some of the best! ❤ I recently did her „The School for Good and Evil“ book tag (which was a lot of fun) and this month she went for an original BTS ‚BE‘ Book Tag! Since I outed myself as a BTS fan by liking her TTT about them she tagged me for this one too and of course I’ll go for it! (I just don’t know when… sometimes it takes ages for me to get to certain tags because as you all know I’m a snail. *lol*) Anyway! I’ll definitely do this one and I hope you’ll give it a try too! Sabrina deserves all the love so if you’re a BTS fan too: What are you even waiting for?!! 😛

6 Years of Book Blogging: A look Back and Forward by Marie @ Drizzle & Hurricane Books

This is a blog post in which Marie told us about her blogging journey and if you’re a fellow book bloggger you should definitely read it! 😀 Marie’s been blogging for six years and that’s no small feat! I’m very glad she’s still around to tell us the tale and I hope she’ll be around for the next 30 years! 😉

What do you think about „SASSY Saturday“? Would you like to join the fun? Did you discover a new series and what was your favourite song last month? Are you as much in need of happy movies as I am right now? How is your country doing during these trying times?

S – Series you loved this month

Daredevil

Can we just acknowledge how awesome the third season of Daredevil was? I loved and hated it at the same time. Fisk drove me mental with his mind games but boy did I love them!! *lol* Plus there were new characters that really mixed up things! (And this is an understatement) Matt had to go through a lot and there were quite some moments I was like: „OMG NO!!!“ The fighting scenes: Epic!!! Especially the one at the prison! I’m still in awe of that one! XD So yeah, I followed Matt Murdock’s trail of blood through the entire season. And I regret nothing. ;-P

Julie and the Panthoms

And here’s another series I got addicted to quickly. Julie and the Phantoms is such a great series! It made me laugh, it made me cry, it caused me to pull for Julie and her ghost band and there was so much heart in this series that I melted. XD The songs are all amazing and have a deep meaning and the joy Julie and her band feel when they are on stage? It’s palpable! They have fun and you can see it! Reminds me of my own band days! ❤ Plus for once I actually don’t have a favourite character because damn they are all great in their own way! 😀

A – Author you discovered

Alice Oseman! I know, I know, technically I already knew her, but I never read an actual book she wrote. I’ve been following her comic „Heartstopper“ for years but I never picked up one of her novels. Which I corrected this month. XD I just started to read „Radio Silence“ and I’m already intrigued by the two MCs. Frances and Aled are really two unique characters and I’m pretty sure I’ll get addicted to this pretty fast. 🙂

S – Song you couldn’t get enough of

Julie and the Phantoms – Wake Up

This was the first song they introduced in the series and I loved it immediately. Julie has such a great voice and the message of the song! Just beautiful! I think I might get the entire soundtrack because damn, the music is amazing! 🙂

S – Surprise – Something that totally caught you off guard

I’m not gonna lie: 2020 was/and still is one of the worst years I ever had. I mean seriously: 2020 is so hard I could become a sculptor and sell my troubles as art. Aside from Covid-19 there happened so many bad things and some days I just want to stay in my bed and hide under my blanket. It was one of those days – I was at work and felt especially miserable – when one of my new colleagues brought me coffee. It was a small gesture but it was such a nice one and she even knew how I drink my coffee. I almost cried right there and then. Sometimes a little kindness goes a long way. ❤

Reading Romance While Demisexual @ The Quiet Pond

This was a really great blog post and I enjoyed reading through it! I loved that CW explained how it feels for her to be demi and how insta-love is something she can’t really relate to. And it kind of made me question myself because believe it or not every relationship I ever had started out as a friendship first and then (sometimes over years) developed into something more. I just need to build trust before I can be with someone. Don’t ask me if I’m demi or not, because I seriously don’t know. *lol* All I know is that CW’s post was some sort of thought-provoking impulse. Maybe it will provoke your thoughts too?! XD

What do you think about „SASSY Saturday“? Would you like to join the fun? Did you discover a new song and what was your favourite series last month? Did you do something kind that made someone happy?!

Talk to me and let me know! 😉
