Movies watched

• Howard's End -- Have to say that I wasn't the biggest fan of this story. 
• Emma (2009) -- Love this version on the Austen classic. Romola Garai is perfect as Emma.
• American Satan -- The classic story of Faust is always good material for a movie. While this one had an interesting take on the story, I don't think it was executed very well. 
• Forbidden Planet (1956) -- We introduced the twins to this classic science fiction movie.  
• Tomb Raider -- Meh. 
• The Girl with All the Gifts -- They amped up the creep factor, but a pretty true adaptation of the book. Really enjoyed this one.
• A Bad Idea Gone Wrong -- Fun little indie comedy we watched yesterday. Enjoyed it.

TV Shows watched

• Call the Midwife S2 -- Slowly working my way through this show.
• Elementary S5 -- Keeping up with the currently airing season.
• The Bachelorette S14 -- So here for Becca's season!

Comments - Holy cow! I started the month with a giant stack of comics and managed to read almost all of them. I'm so very excited about my reading this past month. Beyond the comics, I knocked out a fun YA series, a couple of nonfiction reads, a few fun cozy mysteries, and the start of a great science fiction trilogy. I can't wait to see what July brings!
