Movies watched

  • Captain Marvel - Finally!!! So so amazing. Definitely need to rewatch.

  • They Shall Not Grow Old - A depressing and yet amazing documentary about WWI.

TV Shows watched

  • Good Omens - Fantastic! Perfect casting and great translation of Pratchett and Gaiman’s humor. Loved every minute!

  • Archer: 1999 - So glad this one is back! Last season of Archer…

  • Elementary S7 - Last season… still love Jonny Lee Miller.

Comments - Very decent showing for June’s reading. Unfortunately there were a lot of library books and a lot of lackluster reads. Here’s hoping for some better quality reading for July.
