Mind Tap | July Favorites

Oh no, it's the last Mind Tap post! I was very much enjoying it!

Who is ready for a new favorites post? Me, me, me! Here are my top 5 favorite things from the month of July!

Mad Men

If you have been following Mind Tap month, you'll know I have been on a Mad Men binge-athon. Every summer I pick a TV series to start watching, and this year Mad Men was the lucky winner. I have desperately fallen in love with Don Draper and his devious lifestyle. Peggy is starting to grow on me, but Pete still annoys me. I am currently on season 4, but plowing through fast. And can I just say, the new 1965 vibe is amazing; I'm loving this new season!

Parade's End

I recently rewatched the HBO series Parade's End, starring our beautiful Cumberbabe and the even more beautiful Rebecca Hall. And I think I found Sylvia even more irrationally irritating this time around. Parade's End is a gorgeously directed serial about the aristocratic class's privileged drama in a time of world depression. During this viewing, I took great appreciation in the beautiful cinematography and how annoyingly placid (in a good way...) Christopher and Sylvia's life's choices are. Parade's End is really a gorgeous piece of filmmaking.          

Comic Con

Who doesn't love Comic Con? It's just a great big party for nerds to get together and worship over their obsessions! And it also means new movie trailers, super funny cast interviews, and celebrities cosplaying incognito (I'm looking at you, Dan Rad) on the floor. Comic Con really is a glorious time of year, and this year was no exception. Favorite bits? Benedict posing with a giant penguin, the women who kick-ass panel, Karen Gillan looking oh so beautiful, and Daniel Radcliffe being to most gorgeous nerd ever.    

The Silkworm

This month I have been completely engrossed in J.K. Rowling's new novel, The Silkworm. I had the most amusing time solving crimes with Cormoran Strike in this second installment of Strike's series. This time around dealt with the famous literary scene, and the murder of obtuse author Owen Quine. And the ending really was quite a surprise!
