101 in 1001 XXII
After the crazy jam-packed month in August, September has been a lot more relaxed in terms of my goals.
#12 Attend an event
Helen and I were invited along to the Thomas Sabo opening in Southampton.
#13 Meet a blogger in real life
I met a whole host of bloggers at London Fashion Week, including the very beautiful Ellie.
#19 Attend London Fashion Week
Marie and I popped down to Somerset House to check out some of the London Fashion Week street style.
#60 Put up a shelf
Ok, I didn't put up the shelf myself, but Rich stuck a few up. I have a proper post coming soon, but here's a peek.
#96 Read 75 books (76/75)
Yay! I did it! Wonder if I can make it to 100 before my 1001 days are up?
#101 Watch all the films
I finally got round to watching the 1962 version of Lolita. I was surprised to find that the 1997 remake was almost identical in terms of the script.
After I finished reading The Book Thief, I also watched the film adaptation. Although it's unusually true to the novel, I somehow found it a lot more beautiful than the soul-destroying heartbreak of the book.
What is Ellie's blog link lovely? Also love those floating shelves.

DeleteI've been meaning to watch one of the film adaptation of Lolita for ages- would you recommend one more out of the two? x
ReplyDeleteI was SO happy with the movie rendition of The Book Thief. The Book Thief is my all-time favorite book, and I was so excited/scared for the movie... and I was not let down.
ReplyDeleteI feel like I didn't hear enough about the movie though?? It seemed a very quiet enterprise for such a well-known and loved book.
I can safely say, you may have read more books now than I have read in my life!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea to set yourself goals each month, I need to start doing that as so many of my personal pursuits go neglected!

I have no idea how you manage to read so many books! You're a machine! A sexy machine! x
