if you want to try another bollywood movie then i would really recommend watching 3 idiots. It is a perfect entertainment movie with a strong moral message.
I read Strange The Dreamer, ACOWAR and LOS this month. They were all so wonderful. They made me laugh, cry and cheer. Sure, I didn't read much but what I did read were books from three of my favorite authors ever. And that's fine by me. ♡
Holy cow LoS!!!!!!!!!! I wish it was longer!! It only took me three days to read and now I'm like how am I supposed to read another book after this!!! Nothing will ever top this!!
Kal Ho Naa Ho is my favorite Bollywood movie of all time. But here are some other recs: Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham Taare Zameen Par Kuch Kuch Hota Hai Karun Arjun Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge Kapoor and Sons 3 Idiots PK Happy New Year Dilwale Lagaan My Name is Khan Talvar
Bollywood Recs: Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham, Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, Kapoor & Sons, 3 Idiots, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, Dil Dhadakne Do, Goliyon Ki Raseela: Ram-Leela, Dangal
I was studying and the exams that determine whether I'm going to get into college or not are in a week and it got a little too much for me for no specific reason really so I got panicky,I couldn't focus on studying so I checked youtube to relax and this cheered me up Christine,you cheered me up.Lots of love from Greece
Eliza and Her Monsters by Francesca Zappia, (from the May Owlcrate box) came out of nowhere, but it was such a warmhearted, relatable story. I loved it so much.
Just sat here giggling at the title. Gets me every month. Hope you enjoy your book diet hehe. you have so much energy and love of books. I've just started a channel and you give me so many ideas! x
I just pumped my fist in the air when I saw you (Christine) uploaded :)... I wanna read Lord of Shadows so bad, but it hasn't arrived yet, asdddddjjjfaaargggh (frustrations).
Frøydis Olhans Oh my god same here. I've ordered A Court of Wings And Ruin and Lord Of Shadows a few days after and none of them have come yet. GAAAHHH
As a Canadian-born Indian, think it's so cool that you watched Queen!! It's so good! The music stereotype about Bollywood is something that went on in like the 90s. Bollywood is super advanced these days! Bollywoof movies from the early 2000s are my FAVE though!! As for another Bollywood recommendation on Netflix, I'd say Kal Ho Na Ho!!
BOLLYWOOD MOVIES U SHOULD DEFINITELY HIT UP: -hasee toh phasee -dilwale dulhania le jayenge (a classic) -kabhi khushi khabie gham -kuch kuch hota hai -mohabbatein -rab ne bana di jodi -veer-zaraa HAVE FUN
Off the top of my head, I ADORE zindagi na milegi dobara it's a road trip film and is so much fun and has a lot of heart. Piku is super cute as well the main focus is a father daughter bond. Also Pink- a lot darker and difficult to watch at times due to the subject matter but a really important film super well written.
YES! A NEW CHRISTINE VIDEO! I'm seeing the 5th Pirates of The Carribean movie with my best friends Thursday before I leave for bookcon, and I am still excited because I'll probably get a laugh out of it. UGH! I NEED TO PICK UP LORD OF SHADOWS!
You need to watch Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (sometimes happy, sometimes sad) It's a really great Bollywood film with an exceptional soundtrack and it focuses on family, especially on the bond of the eldest son and the mother. I have watched it countless times and it is just amazing
My favs in May were... Book: Lord of Shadows (loved it, OBVIOUSLY! ) TV: Merlin (I'm half way through season 3 and I'm absolutely obsessed) Film: Rogue One (I know nothing about star wars but the effects are really cool and I liked the story Idk)
Bride and Prejudice is amazing!! So cute!! Only Bollywood movie I saw but loved it! Oh! And I read the first three books in the Lunar Chronicles! Absolutely loved them all!!
"he's just like a gross pirate" god that whole monologue about jack sparrow - so real, I almost wanted to cry! because I loove the orignal trilogy as well and they mean a lot to me, so while I appreciate the fifth one on some level, especially seeing depp's portrayal of sparrow just hurts! it really felt like he was doing it for the paycheck and I hate to say that. an orlando bloom on the other hand, who has wanted to come back for such a long time and has been talking about it for forever gets like five lines. I'm saaad.
Me too! I had low expectations for Wonder Woman considering how I didn't like Batman v superman but I heard great things about it, so I may go see it since I was not gonna see it before
This month I haven't eaten as many stories as I wanted to! This will be avenged in the summer and I will be devouring stories! I started watching "Anne with an "E"' on Netflix and it is really good so far, also making my way through acowar currently at the moment!
Had a mediocre reading month but did find a new obsession in Twin Peaks. I finished the original series on Netflix and fell in love with everything about it, though I did prefer the first season and first half of season two to the second half. Not sure how I feel yet about the new season, but I think I'm into it. Coop is my boy though.
i'm slowly dying bcoz it seems like everyone on the planet except me has read LOS bcoz i have to wait 2 months for the book to arrive . legit can't wait to read it and watch your booktalk . i always love your booktalk videos
The books I ate were Words of Radiance, The Dark Prophecy, Steelheart, and Firefight. The movies I ate were the new Pirates of the Caribbean, and I watched different movies from the Lord of the Rings trilogy about three times each at different times of the month. My favorite story was Words of Radiance because it was SO GOOD. I finished it the day The Dark Prophecy came out (I guess it still counts as a book for May because I actually finished it in May although I started it before that). Anyways, it was amazing, and the Stormlight Archive is now on my list for some of my favorite book series of all time (even though the series isn't finished yet....).
I watched Zootopia last night and it was so good! I also read the Darkest Minds this month FINALLY, thank you so much for recommending it, Christine! Also currently reading The Thousandth Floor and Never Fade.
My favourite Bollywood films are Bride and Prejudice (love this just as much, if not more, than the Keira Knightley adaptation) and Bend it like Beckham :D
I reread Lady Midnight in anticipation of LoS but I kinda burnt myself out with reading and I'm struggling to pick anything up now. I absolutely adored Guardians 2, all the Baby Groot parts made me feel so many feelings. I watched Star Trek Beyond and I really enjoyed that and also finally watched the entirety of the Sound of Music ( I had watched majority of it many times but never the ending with the nazis). That has got to be one of my favourite movies ever. I've been meaning to watch Nocturnal Animals but I'm scared it will be too much for me.
JOARants Yeees, Everything Everything is amazing! I'd also recommend The Sun is also a Star by the same author (if you haven't read it yet :D), I've just read it and even loved it more than Everything Everything
Omg! I'm so happy you watched a Hindi movie and enjoyed it, even though being Indian I'm embarrassed I haven't watched Queen yet, but in my defense I'm Telugu and I watch a lot of telugu films. Also some of my favorite Hindi movies are Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Barfi. Do check them out! And yes a lot of Indian films are very long!
I started watching Grey's Anatomy this month and I binged the entire first season in the span of a weekend. I'm currently halfway through the second but work has been getting in the way.
HOW GOOD IS QUEEN OMG Recommendations though: Dostana - old but so good Yeh Jewaani Hai Dewaani - pretty recent Bol - this movie was amazing, it's a Pakistani film but so, so, so touching and good
Loved this vid!!!!! Off the top of my head here are some Bollywood recs, I ADORE zindagi na milegi dobara it's a road trip film and is so much fun and has a lot of heart. Piku is super cute as well the main focus is a father daughter bond. Also Pink- a lot darker and difficult to watch at times due to the subject matter but a really important film super well written. Also heard really good things about Kapoor and Sons which is family centric and super cute! 💙💙💙💙💙💙
Queen is a great film! Glad you enjoyed it, most Bollywood movies are pretty long. They have intervals when you see them in the cinema like a play so people can get snacks and go to the bathroom because they're must longer than other films.
Well, okay, I'll probably share some stories I also ate this month, for books for starters (the last two Chaos Walking books, the last three VA books, The Night Circus, Caraval, The Gemma Doyle trilogy, which I didn't complete the last book, I Am The Messenger and Wintergirls) for Comics (A volume each for Saga, Girls, DMZ, Revival, East Of West, Locke & Key, I Zombie, Rachel Rising, Proof and The Woods, and a few issues of Wolf, an one issue each for The Walking Dead comic and Outcast) for TV (an episode each for Scandal, Sons Of Anarchy, Supernatural and Rectify)
Omg, I'm not sure if it's on Netflix but Kuch Kuch Hota Hai is a must watch Bollywood film! I usually can't sit through them cause they're so long but I've watched this one multiple times. Super adorable and funny
Christine if you loved Queen you should watch English Vinglish! Its just as well done. Its about this Indian mother who has to go to America for a couple months, and decides to take an English course for a couple of reasons. Please watch it I think you'll really like it!
there's a bollywood adaptation/retelling of sorts of jane austen's emma called aisha and it's one of my faves! also yeh jawaani hai deewani is great :)
You literally could not have described my exact feelings about Dead Men Tell No Tales any better. Captain Jack Sparrow has been lost. After I saw this Poop film, I went home and watched "the original trilogy" and it was perfection. Characters really do make a story.
I absolutely loved When Dimple Met Rishi by Sandhya Menon because it was just such a cute and fast read and I am also a young Indian American, so this book is the first book with main characters I can completely relate to. Also, the book references the Bollywood movies Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (a TOTAL classic) and Rab Ne Banadi Jodi, so if you are looking for Bollywood films to watch, I recommend those two movies. Although these two aren't stories, Rupi Kaur's poetry book, Milk and Honey, and Hasan Minhaj's comedy special, Homecoming King, were also amazing pieces that I ate this month. I am beyond excited to read Lord of Shadows by Cassandra Clare! :)
I put down lord of shadows for ACOWAR... and that's saying something. I have to say I think Maas is my new favorite author. Yes I love Clare's writing and will always pick her books up but... PRIORITIES!
I ate graphic novels this month and The Raven King The movies I ate were Pete's Dragon, The BFG, Central Intelligence, Bad Moms, Pretty in Pink, and I started watching the TV show Shameless!
I am so glad you watch this Bollywood film.. you should watch - Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (You wouldn't be able to live twice) and Margarita With a Straw. you are going to LOVE THESE!!!
I've never been this early!! Christine, you need to watch Girlboss! It's a new Netflix show based on a memoire with the same name. Also, Riverdale is such a good show!
Bollywood Recs: My Classics: These are my guilty pleasure cheesy rom-coms. Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge - Khabi Khushi Khabi Gham - Devdas - Kuch Kuch Hota Hai - Veer Zaara - Dil To Pagal Hai. Recent: 3 Idiots - Haider - Happy New Year - Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram Leela - Piku.
The stories I ate this month were Twin Peaks, Twin Peaks, and Twin Peaks!!! Also, Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly (which got me SO interested in the French Revolution) and Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban (WHICH WAS SO GOOD!! SO GOOD!!) :)
yes LOS!!!! it was so so good! ahhhh i'm so glad you watched a Bollywood film for once - my favorite on Netflix is Karl Hoo Na Ho, but there are so many good ones (and yeah Bollywood films are long). I'm so excited for Wonder Woman!!!
I missed this cause of Book Expo!! WONDER WOMAN WAS HANDS DOWN MY FAVE OF THE MONTH. It took over my life.
if you want to try another bollywood movie then i would really recommend watching 3 idiots. It is a perfect entertainment movie with a strong moral message.
miiiiihi5 yesss!!!
miiiiihi5 SO GOOD SO GOOD SO GOOD
THAT IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES EVER!!!
True true true, but Ek Villian tho
yesss i love that movie
I love the " what I ate this month" series Christine!! It's so much fun and so entertaining
I'm waiting for her to post a pic of her sitting at a table with a book on a plate and a fork and knife in her hands
I finished Lord of Shadows several days ago and it was so good! I need to see Wonder Woman! Glad to hear that you liked it!
This month I ate pizza😀

I read Strange The Dreamer, ACOWAR and LOS this month. They were all so wonderful. They made me laugh, cry and cheer. Sure, I didn't read much but what I did read were books from three of my favorite authors ever. And that's fine by me. ♡
This month I ate A Court of Wings and Ruin!!!!! Love it so much!!!
Holy cow LoS!!!!!!!!!! I wish it was longer!! It only took me three days to read and now I'm like how am I supposed to read another book after this!!! Nothing will ever top this!!
I also saw nocturnal animals and absolutly loved it. It was very strange but pretty cool and the ending was just freaking awesome, plot related.
stories i ate this month: the story of my suffering during AP exams

I was the idiot you read the novella: The story of my misery during exams and then I decided to do summer classes

ACOWAR was my favorite book in may, guardians vol 2 was my favorite movie, Sherlock season 4 was my favorite tv show. It was SO GOOD!
I was studying and the exams that determine whether I'm going to get into college or not are in a week and it got a little too much for me for no specific reason really so I got panicky,I couldn't focus on studying so I checked youtube to relax and this cheered me up Christine,you cheered me up.Lots of love from Greece
I saw Guardians of the Galaxy the day it came out and it wAS SO GOOD!!! I loved it so much!!!
Eliza and Her Monsters by Francesca Zappia, (from the May Owlcrate box) came out of nowhere, but it was such a warmhearted, relatable story. I loved it so much.

Ugh Always and Forever, Lara Jean was absolutely perfect. I enjoyed reading it sooo much. I love the trilogy sooo much! 😭😍
I am so happy you enjoyed Queen because it's my favorite as well!! I also recommend watching Yeh jawani hai deewani and Kapoor and sons.
As a Canadian-born Indian, think it's so cool that you watched Queen!! It's so good! The music stereotype about Bollywood is something that went on in like the 90s. Bollywood is super advanced these days! Bollywoof movies from the early 2000s are my FAVE though!! As for another Bollywood recommendation on Netflix, I'd say Kal Ho Na Ho!!

Omg Christine! I LOVED queen so much ahh there are so many Bollywood films you need to see. I now need to make a list for you! 💙💙💙💙
Off the top of my head, I ADORE zindagi na milegi dobara it's a road trip film and is so much fun and has a lot of heart.
Piku is super cute as well the main focus is a father daughter bond.
Also Pink- a lot darker and difficult to watch at times due to the subject matter but a really important film super well written.
Jackie had one of the best film scores i've ever heard in my life. very surprised it didn't win any awards
I loved Guardians volume 2 also! The best movie of 2017 this far! So in love
Yayyy! I'm loving this series, Christine! I want to see the movies you talked about, & I'll be reading "Always & Forever, Lara Jean" super soon!
Makeup goals 😍 I love stories I ate this month so much. 👏🏽
I love that you watched Queen! It's one of my favourite movies! You should watch Kabhi Khusi Kabhi Gham; it's a classic that everyone loves :)
YES! A NEW CHRISTINE VIDEO! I'm seeing the 5th Pirates of The Carribean movie with my best friends Thursday before I leave for bookcon, and I am still excited because I'll probably get a laugh out of it. UGH! I NEED TO PICK UP LORD OF SHADOWS!
You need to watch Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (sometimes happy, sometimes sad) It's a really great Bollywood film with an exceptional soundtrack and it focuses on family, especially on the bond of the eldest son and the mother. I have watched it countless times and it is just amazing
Nonctural Animals, messed me up!! I coudn't sleep for two days, because I was trying to understand the ending. It was sooooo good.
Me encantan tus videos, siempre dejas una sonrisa en mi rostro.
My favs in May were...
Book: Lord of Shadows (loved it, OBVIOUSLY! )
TV: Merlin (I'm half way through season 3 and I'm absolutely obsessed)
Film: Rogue One (I know nothing about star wars but the effects are really cool and I liked the story Idk)
full house 3 is one of my fav bollywood films! its quite long but the quality production is amazing!
I adore your makeup in this video! Nice job. I love these videos and how you include movies and shows and such!
I saw Me Before You for the first time this month and I am so in love 😍❤️ x
Bride and Prejudice is amazing!! So cute!! Only Bollywood movie I saw but loved it! Oh! And I read the first three books in the Lunar Chronicles! Absolutely loved them all!!
"he's just like a gross pirate" god that whole monologue about jack sparrow - so real, I almost wanted to cry! because I loove the orignal trilogy as well and they mean a lot to me, so while I appreciate the fifth one on some level, especially seeing depp's portrayal of sparrow just hurts! it really felt like he was doing it for the paycheck and I hate to say that. an orlando bloom on the other hand, who has wanted to come back for such a long time and has been talking about it for forever gets like five lines. I'm saaad.
Idk if you like Hamlet, but if you do you need to watch Hiader. It's an amazing Bollywood Hamlet retelling!!!
Me too! I had low expectations for Wonder Woman considering how I didn't like Batman v superman but I heard great things about it, so I may go see it since I was not gonna see it before
This month I haven't eaten as many stories as I wanted to! This will be avenged in the summer and I will be devouring stories! I started watching "Anne with an "E"' on Netflix and it is really good so far, also making my way through acowar currently at the moment!
Everything you said about pirates is SPOT ON!!!!!!!
Kapoor and Sons is a Bollywood film I loved and I highly recommend it!
Kapoor and Sons is great! loved it!
Abby MacDonald I haven't watched it, but I have heard very mixed things. Is it worth watching?
Definitely worth watching ! I thought it was fantastic :)
I have watched it but i didn't like it, it disappointed me. I mean the idea was good but it was executed poorly.
Abby MacDonald I'm going to give it a go plus Siddharth Malhotra. enough said 😂
I read The Book Theif by Markus Zusak and Jackaby by William Ritter
Had a mediocre reading month but did find a new obsession in Twin Peaks. I finished the original series on Netflix and fell in love with everything about it, though I did prefer the first season and first half of season two to the second half. Not sure how I feel yet about the new season, but I think I'm into it. Coop is my boy though.
When are you gonna read acowar, Christine? You gotta. It was amazing. The ending could've been better, but it was beautiful.
My favourites this month have to be ACOWAR, Lord of Shadows and Always and Forever Lara Jean!
i'm slowly dying bcoz it seems like everyone on the planet except me has read LOS bcoz i have to wait 2 months for the book to arrive .
legit can't wait to read it and watch your booktalk . i always love your booktalk videos
I LOVE QUEEN!!! You should watch Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara! Or Yeh Jawani Hain Diwani!! They're both really good stories!!
I ate up Everything,Everything the movie version. Everything about the movie was beautiful and they didn't change much from the book.
I really think that you'd love Taare Zameen Par! Its a Bollywood movie centered on this little boy who has special needs. It makes me feel sooo much!
Christine you're glowing!!!!
The books I ate were Words of Radiance, The Dark Prophecy, Steelheart, and Firefight. The movies I ate were the new Pirates of the Caribbean, and I watched different movies from the Lord of the Rings trilogy about three times each at different times of the month. My favorite story was Words of Radiance because it was SO GOOD. I finished it the day The Dark Prophecy came out (I guess it still counts as a book for May because I actually finished it in May although I started it before that). Anyways, it was amazing, and the Stormlight Archive is now on my list for some of my favorite book series of all time (even though the series isn't finished yet....).
My favorite book this month has definitely been Kindred by Octavia E Butler. Its an intensely wonderful book and I recommend it times 1000!
I watched Zootopia last night and it was so good! I also read the Darkest Minds this month FINALLY, thank you so much for recommending it, Christine! Also currently reading The Thousandth Floor and Never Fade.
My favourite Bollywood films are Bride and Prejudice (love this just as much, if not more, than the Keira Knightley adaptation) and Bend it like Beckham :D
Watch the 3 Idiots!!! Gave me all the laughs and the cries, it also highlights the college life, the important things in life...
DEVDAS!!! It's a great Bollywood film.... long but beautiful xoxoxo
I reread Lady Midnight in anticipation of LoS but I kinda burnt myself out with reading and I'm struggling to pick anything up now. I absolutely adored Guardians 2, all the Baby Groot parts made me feel so many feelings. I watched Star Trek Beyond and I really enjoyed that and also finally watched the entirety of the Sound of Music ( I had watched majority of it many times but never the ending with the nazis). That has got to be one of my favourite movies ever. I've been meaning to watch Nocturnal Animals but I'm scared it will be too much for me.
I ate Everything, Everything the book and I loved it!! 4 stars for me. I also started watching iZombie. I highly recommend it.
JOARants omg everything everything is soooo amazing!!!!
JOARants Yeees, Everything Everything is amazing! I'd also recommend The Sun is also a Star by the same author (if you haven't read it yet :D), I've just read it and even loved it more than Everything Everything
Omg! I'm so happy you watched a Hindi movie and enjoyed it, even though being Indian I'm embarrassed I haven't watched Queen yet, but in my defense I'm Telugu and I watch a lot of telugu films. Also some of my favorite Hindi movies are Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Barfi. Do check them out! And yes a lot of Indian films are very long!
I really want to read Always and Forever. It sounds like an awesome book! 😁
I started watching Grey's Anatomy this month and I binged the entire first season in the span of a weekend. I'm currently halfway through the second but work has been getting in the way.
Omg, your make up is so on point in this video.😍
Miriam Ortmann I know she looks great
I stared at you for awhile realising there was something different about you in this video when I realised HOW GOOD YOUR MAKEUP IS
HOW GOOD IS QUEEN OMG
Recommendations though:
Dostana - old but so good
Yeh Jewaani Hai Dewaani - pretty recent
Bol - this movie was amazing, it's a Pakistani film but so, so, so touching and good
Christine you should really watch Kal Ho Na Ho! I cannot express how much I love this movie!
OMG YOU WATCHED QUEEN!!! ITS ONE OF MY FAVES. Watch Piku, Bajirao Mastani(this one's a period piece) and Haidar. also Khoobsurat is a great Romcom😊
Treating myself to a one year work anniversary present and pre-ordering The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue. June 27 better get here quick!
Loved this vid!!!!!
Off the top of my head here are some Bollywood recs, I ADORE zindagi na milegi dobara it's a road trip film and is so much fun and has a lot of heart.
Piku is super cute as well the main focus is a father daughter bond.
Also Pink- a lot darker and difficult to watch at times due to the subject matter but a really important film super well written.
Also heard really good things about Kapoor and Sons which is family centric and super cute! 💙💙💙💙💙💙
Queen is a great film! Glad you enjoyed it, most Bollywood movies are pretty long. They have intervals when you see them in the cinema like a play so people can get snacks and go to the bathroom because they're must longer than other films.
Well, okay, I'll probably share some stories I also ate this month, for books for starters (the last two Chaos Walking books, the last three VA books, The Night Circus, Caraval, The Gemma Doyle trilogy, which I didn't complete the last book, I Am The Messenger and Wintergirls) for Comics (A volume each for Saga, Girls, DMZ, Revival, East Of West, Locke & Key, I Zombie, Rachel Rising, Proof and The Woods, and a few issues of Wolf, an one issue each for The Walking Dead comic and Outcast) for TV (an episode each for Scandal, Sons Of Anarchy, Supernatural and Rectify)
Omg, I'm not sure if it's on Netflix but Kuch Kuch Hota Hai is a must watch Bollywood film! I usually can't sit through them cause they're so long but I've watched this one multiple times. Super adorable and funny
Oh and yes, most Bollywood movies (at least the ones I've seen) are 3 hours long
I finished red rising today and it was definitely
My favorite
Christine if you loved Queen you should watch English Vinglish! Its just as well done. Its about this Indian mother who has to go to America for a couple months, and decides to take an English course for a couple of reasons. Please watch it I think you'll really like it!
Christine if you haven't read "Everything Everything", READ IT. IT IS SO GOOD
Christine you have to watch Secret Life Of Walter Mitty! It's so amazing and shot soooo beautifully
there's a bollywood adaptation/retelling of sorts of jane austen's emma called aisha and it's one of my faves! also yeh jawaani hai deewani is great :)
I started reading LoS!
You literally could not have described my exact feelings about Dead Men Tell No Tales any better. Captain Jack Sparrow has been lost. After I saw this Poop film, I went home and watched "the original trilogy" and it was perfection. Characters really do make a story.
I loved Dead Men Tell No Tales. ❤ I cried during this movie. I loved it. ❤
I absolutely loved When Dimple Met Rishi by Sandhya Menon because it was just such a cute and fast read and I am also a young Indian American, so this book is the first book with main characters I can completely relate to. Also, the book references the Bollywood movies Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (a TOTAL classic) and Rab Ne Banadi Jodi, so if you are looking for Bollywood films to watch, I recommend those two movies. Although these two aren't stories, Rupi Kaur's poetry book, Milk and Honey, and Hasan Minhaj's comedy special, Homecoming King, were also amazing pieces that I ate this month. I am beyond excited to read Lord of Shadows by Cassandra Clare! :)
The Wonder Woman film is EVERYTHING
I put down lord of shadows for ACOWAR... and that's saying something. I have to say I think Maas is my new favorite author. Yes I love Clare's writing and will always pick her books up but... PRIORITIES!
I ate graphic novels this month and The Raven King The movies I ate were Pete's Dragon, The BFG, Central Intelligence, Bad Moms, Pretty in Pink, and I started watching the TV show Shameless!
I am so glad you watch this Bollywood film.. you should watch - Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (You wouldn't be able to live twice) and Margarita With a Straw. you are going to LOVE THESE!!!
*watched
You should do an updated favorite movies of all time video!
