❄️☕⛸️ Cold weather, snow slowly falling, and a cup of hot chocolate - perfection ☕⛸️❄️
Since my last to-do list was a complete success, I decided to do it again 😂 I know, winter already started, but I was on vacation and didn't have time to finish this post. Also, some of the items on this list (mainly winter movies) I've already "done" so I'm off to a good start 😂
------BOOKS------
The theme is fantasy, but more specifically - retellings 😍 I just love a good fairytale, especially during winter.
Last time I chose 16 books for autumn, and while I did pretty well, I think it was too much. I need to leave some space for sequels of chosen books and/or if my mood decides to go wild. That's why there are "only" 10 books this time.
------MOVIES------
I think this first set of movies is self-explained. If you don't watch Home Alone (or at least one of the sequels) during winter, you obviously don't want to be happy??
*P.S. I've already watched these 3 and Ice Princess should be considered a classic ⛸️🧊🤍
Then, for some reason, I really wanna watch these two kinda similar thriller movies. Both are giving off early 2000s nostalgia vibes and both have kick-ass women as main characters - one is played by Rachel Zegler and one by Madison Bailey.
------TV SHOWS------
Now this section here is the one I'm most unsure about. I don't really wanna watch any TV shows 😂😂 Except for the few Turkish dramas I'm always following, I truly don't know if I want to watch anything else. I put these 3 on the list as a huge maybe because they fit the theme.
I've been meaning to rewatch OUAT for some time, but I remember being annoyed after a few seasons and I never truly finished it so idk, we'll see. A friend recommended The 10th Kingdom and it's also a sort of fairytale retelling. Poldark on the other hand is a historical family drama, but it's got a British broody hero, a cute red-haired girl and some dramatic cliffs, so it fits my "fairytale" romance mood 😂
------KDRAMAS------
Just like the ones above, these are also all in the maybe category. I'm more in a gaming mood than I am in the "binging" mood. I chose these 3 because they all gave me wintery vibes and have excellent ratings.
------GAMES------
Loco Motive - solve a murder on a train, does it get better than that?
Symphonia - a puzzle platformer that's all about using your violin the right way and bringing an orchestra back to life!
Pixel Cafe - this pixel art cafe management game is bringing me all the cozy and Y2K feels :)
Do you have a plan for winter? Which genres are you most likely to read during this season?

I love a good retelling as well. I already struggle with 10 books so I can only imagine if I added 16.
ReplyDeleteI did not have time to watch Home Alone yet this season so I am planning to this weekend, Christmas movies just hit different, and that one is a classic!
Hope you have a great start of 2025 :)
I love watching movies and tv shows, yet I spend too much time deciding what to watch so I end up not watching anything. Maybe I should write down ideas of what to watch. I want to be more consistent with my kdramas, so I am hoping to start some soon as well. I really enjoyed Little Women and When the Weather is Fine; I haven't watch the other one so I cannot really tell you how it is. I should look for some upcoming or current kdramas to start now.
Honestly, it was truly a struggle for me as well 😅 That's why I had to tone it down a bit.
DeleteOhh I'm so glad you enjoyed those! When the Weather is Fine looks so cozy, if I ever get to the kdramas to-do list, I'll probably start with that one 😄 If you find more wintery kdramas, feel free to let me know!
Good luck with your to-do list! All of those books have such pretty covers! I'm definitely looking forward to your thoughts on them! Time Cut and Y2K are two movies I really want to see too! Idk when that's gonna happen since i have not really been in a movie/TV show-watching mood, but one day! Lol. No, that's a lie... I have been wanting to watch Criminal Minds... again 😅 It hasn't happened yet, but it might! Lol.
ReplyDeleteThanks! ahhh they do ♥ Idk why but I've always loved those dark retelling/ fantasy covers more than any rom-com covers.
DeleteI'll actually be posting my thoughts on those movies quite soon! And rewatching Criminal Minds is the best decision ever?!? It's literally the best crime fighting found family (along with B99 and The Mentalist ofc). I wish I had a Spencer Reid in my life...😂
