What We’re Watching, Reading, and Loving This Month
When we’re not chatting budgets or building spreadsheets, we’re binging shows, devouring books, and finding new little things to love. We’ve compiled a list of what’s been keeping the team entertained, inspired, and occasionally unhinged (in the best way). If you’re looking for low-cost ways to romanticise your downtime, consider this your go-to list of SOTM-approved recommendations… fun, some free, and mostly wallet-friendly.
Georgia:
I have many this month after not watching TV for ages! Molly Mae (prime), Victoria Beckham Doc (Netflix) + Dancing with the Stars US (I usually watch it on tiktok while its live in US but you can also watch it on their youtube after) - clearly in my reality era. ALSO Nobody wants this season 2 on netflix - SO GOOD! And if you’re not ready to commit to a show, Amelia Dimoldenberg’s is doing a YouTube series called Passenger Princess with F1 drivers and its rather fun!
Brooke:
Also Molly Mae - Obsessed with Bambi, also waking up at ridiculous hours, to watch F1

Georgia:
I listened The Long Way home by Jessa Hastings with a discounted Audible credit after someone on tiktok said it was better to listen than read, and I kind of agree - it’s in a british accent it was actually so enjoyable, usually I hate audiobooks. Although sometimes felt slow compared to just reading yourself so I switched back for the last 2 books!
