An October 2019 Recap: The Favorites, New & Old, and SNOW (!?)

---

Hey, hey, what’s up, everyone? The first of a new month comes to Finding Wonderland with the usual:  another installment of ‘Month in Review October 2019.’ This month I filled the site with seasonal (aka spooky-ish) content, and though I don’t celebrate All Hallows Eve, it was kind of fun. As I ask each “month in review,” do make sure to share some of your favorite discoveries in the comments.

Ciao, October 2019. Bonjour, November 2019!

3 of the Reasons Why I Don’t (& Do) like ‘A Discovery of Witches’

Let’s do this!!

»Favorites (but actually FAILS?) & News from October 2019«

1: Christmas | For the last month I’ve seen shelves full of Christmas decor, and guys, I am not prepared! What about Thanksgiving, and all the pretty autumn colors? But then it is SNOWING (like, whaaat!?) today, so I guess the two kind of go hand in hand, right?

2: Dancing with the Stars | I feel more like this months favorites are fails (first I’m not prepared for Christmas), and now I’m whining about the one reality TV show I watch. Yeah. I don’t like the changes, and the way viewers are so mad… um, FYI, in case you didn’t know, part of the reason this show works is because viewers vote for someone they connect with, which isn’t always the one that has the best skill.

3: Hallmark | The Countdown to Christmas has begun, and I’ve already seen more than I should! (Yeah, remember when I said I’m not ready for Christmas….) Seeing what I have makes me wonder if and/or when I should film my second “Ranking the Hallmark Christmas Movies (So Far)” video.
