Movies watched
- Annihilation -- Very different from the book, but I think I liked it. Not a movie for everyone.
- The Shallows -- Pretty, but the story and thriller aspects were fairly boring.
- RKO 281 -- The fictionalized account of the making of Citizen Kane. Interesting...
TV Shows watched
- Magicians S3 -- We finished off this season and oh my, it was wonderful! Can't wait to see what S4 brings.
- Veep S6 -- We completely forgot about watching the last season of this show. Don't worry, we rectified our oversight.
- Supernatural S4 -- Plugging away at this series. We finally meet at least one of the angels.
- The Shannara Chronicles S2 -- We finally finished this series. Kinda sad it was canceled, but oh well.
Comments - Wow! I read over 6000 pages this month! I don't quite believe it. I don't feel like I've been reading excessively, but apparently I have found more time for it. Really hoping to keep this going and read more great books in May!
