castalieI survived my gym class! As well as my aquagym class... it was easier than I thought, even. I'm in under no illusion though, I have no doubt that, by tomorrow morning, I'll feel stiffness on top of the already existing stiffness. I've really enjoyed both classes, though, I feel super satisfied :)
Another thing that is giving me satisfaction is that I'm catching up on my shows! Still haven't watched POI 3x02-03 but that's because POI is a show Cookie and I watch together and I'm waiting for her to be ready to sit down and enjoy! Mind you, if it takes too long, chances are I'll cave in and watch them on my own! #Ruthless
I did watch Arrow, though. I started with the s1 recap special, which only made me want to go back to the season finale so I watched it (that ending, guys, still as awesome!) then followed with the s2 premiere. It did not disappoint! What I love with Arrow is how it doesn't sugarcoat the events that occur nor does it really fix things magically (or worse yet, ignore them) from one episode to the next. Having Ollie, Dig and Felicity back on my screen was love!
Then I turned to The Tomorrow People. I was curious to see what this modern version of the show would look like. What it looks like is a new show to fill in my Guilty Pleasure category. I'll tune in when the second episode airs, see where it leads me :) I've also watched The Originals and I'll be following for now - and hoping that Elijah is freed from Slumber before the end of the season. I wanted to see more of him and Klaus together. I was so disappointed when Klaus stabbed him at the end of the premiere. Damn you, Klaus, you deserve such a spanking omg! And who will administer it, now that Elijah isn't in the picture any longer?
Unrelated but I'm looking at our new bookshelves, which reminds me of when I was cruising BookTube videos a couple of days ago, as I'm wont to do, and saw a two-parter with a BookTuber who had invited a guest, namely Alexandra Bracken, the author of The Darkest Minds series. Ever since I started subscribing to BookTube channels, I've acquired some knowledge of YA literature so I actually knew about The Darkest Minds and its upcoming sequel, Never Fade.
Anyway, after watching the videos, I have to say that this Alexandra Bracken is absolutely charming! I love the way she talked and her sense of humour, she looked very together and just sounded very sweet. She also displayed a bit of an evil streak in the way she teased her readers and it made me wonder, would I want to read her series? I mean, I did love The Hunger Games, I'm bound to find other YA books that I would enjoy, right?
