Movies watched

• Isn’t It Romantic — Pretty good, although I wish they would have leaned in a bit more.

• The Beatles: Eight Days a Night — Interesting documentary. Love all the concert footage I’ve never seen.

• Aquaman — Much better than I thought it would be…

• Quartermass and the Pit — More horror and science fiction this time. Loved it!

• Iron Man - We started rewatching all of the Marvel movies.

• Iron Man 2 - I haven’t watched this one in years. Not as bad as I thought, but not amazing…

• Thor - Oh goodness! This movie needed way more Loki…

• Captain America - Good, but I think Winter Soldier is far superior.

TV Shows watched - Just the usual. Nothing too exciting.

Comments - Another amazing reading month! I really think I should up my GoodReads goal to 215 (up from the current 175). I knocked off a few from my TBR pile and a ton of library books. Hoping to read more from my own shelves in the next two months, but I need to reinstitute my library ban…
