Things that I liked in Autumn

I know that is technically not Winter yet but it's close enough so I thought I would have a little round up of things of all varieties that I have enjoyed/would recommend/just have a ramble about to you kind folk

TV shows
As we all know I am a rather big TV addict which is kinda becoming a problem but so far, I've managed to stay on top my studies and life in general so here are my top (some old, some new) shows that I have been loving the past couple of months

• The Big Bang Theory - I know it's been around for about eight years now and I've always loved it but recently, I rediscovered my love for this show as I've been watching my boxset and just remembering why I love it. Funny, sweet and characters you can connect to, it's brilliant for when you just need a simple show to cheer you up
• How To Get Away With Murder- holy smokes this show is amazing. I'm always up for a crime drama and this is one of the best I've watched ever. A storyline that keeps you hooked, fantastically written characters portrayed by wonderful actors (Also Jack Falahee who plays Connor is possibly one of the most beautiful men I have ever seen. Ahem) and I honestly can't wait for more. I know the States are few episodes ahead and so far I have avoided spoilers as I'm watching in the UK but I just want to watch it all the damn time.
• Elementary, (Season 3) - Cannot speak highly enough of this show, been a fan of it since the beginning and season 3 is not disappointing thus far. Sherlock Holmes in New York with a female Watson played by the stunning and talented Lucy Liu, there isn't much more you could ask for. IT has plots that keep you guessing, the writing is almost flawless and my personal favourite thing about the show is that there isn't a perfect character, they all have flaws but they all embrace them and use them in their life to their advantage, which is something I think society needs to reminded of from time to time. Anyway yeah. WATCH IT.  (I mean obviously, if you haven't seen it, watch the first two seasons as well hehehe)
• Doctor Who - Given that I could talk about this show for hours, I think I might do a whole other post on this series (let me know if I should) but all I'm going to say is that I loved it despite some annoyances so I would say it's worth it. If not, just for Peter Capaldi who was fantastic as the new Doctor. 

Films
I won't lie; I'm normally a pretty big film buff but recently, I haven't had time to go to the cinema as much (Although I am seeing Mockingjay on Friday and I'm rather excited :D) or have a look through sky or netflix to find something to watch.

That being said, I did recently see 'Horns' which is Daniel Radcliffe's new film. I would definitely recommend this if you are looking for something to mess with your head a little bit; Good storyline, good acting, a little predictable and a little bit long (it could certainly have been half an hour shorter) but all in all, a pretty good film which is worth a watch when you have the time or inclination :)

Books
Some books I've recently read and enjoyed

• Perfect by Rachel Joyce - Having read Joyce's previous book 'The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry', I had pretty high expectations for Perfect and I was not disappointed. In fact, I liked it better. This was just one of those stories that was heart-warming and heart-breaking at the same time. It had a moving story that made you think about not only those in the story but yourself as well. It was just very sweet but also rather sad so if you need a bit of a weep, I would recommend this book!
• Grace's Guide: The Art of Pretending to be a Grown-Up - Written by the lovely Grace Helbig who will be known to most as ItsGrace on YouTube, this book was funny yet actually a very useful guide on how to be a grown-up. Given that I just turned 18, I find myself relating to scenarios that Grace describes and relying on her hilarious yet helpful advice on how to get through awkward new situations. Very funny and one of those books I can see myself just dipping into throughout the rest of my life if I'm honest!

Miscellaneous things
Here is a strange assortment of other random things I have enjoyed this past couple of months

• Sou&Co Orange and Pomelo hand and body cream-  This has to be one of the most amazing things I have ever smelled/put on my hands. It can be used as a body butter as well but I tend to use just as hand cream.  I often get dry hands for some unknown reason but this has been a lifesaver in keeping them soft and supple, which is brillant just as it starts to get colder as well. So if you fancy a little indulgence (go on, you deserve it), You can see their website here 
• Apple Tango - I'm not sure why but I recently discovered a love for Apple Tango so I thought I'd write it here. Do with that what you will. (If you don't know what it is, it is essentially a fizzy apple flavoured drink)
• Noel Fielding - I saw comedian Noel Fielding on his stand-up tour a couple of weeks ago and he was absoultely brillant so if you are up for a laugh and certainly a bit of weirdness, I would recommned seeing his tour if you can while it is still on. He was hilarious and commanded the whole stage and city hall perfectly - you can look for tickets here

That is about all for now folks, so I hope you've enjoyed reading :) Let me know what you've liked these past months.
