Movies watched
Raya and the Last Dragon - The settings and backgrounds were absolutely gorgeous. The story wasn’t quite hitting all the emotional notes.
Pixie - Enjoyed this black comedy! We unintentionally watched this for St. Patrick’s Day.
TV Shows watched
Last Week Tonight - Our usual current show
Below Deck Med S5 - Still love Captain Sandy, but man that was a season full of firings!
Superstore S6 - We finished it!
WandaVision S1 - Heartbreaking, but oh so good.
Resident Alien S1 - Delightfully weird show. We watch anything with Alan Tudyk in it!
Falcon and the Winter Solider S1 - We are totally in on this show.
Ted Lasso S1 - This was exactly the show that I needed right now. It’s so incredibly hopeful!
AP Bio S1 - J had me start this one and it is good. It’s the cynical opposite of Ted Lasso.
Comments - A surprisingly great reading month. I read some duds, but I also finished a great (very large) historical romance story and almost finished another one. We also managed to watch some great TV series (seriously Ted Lasso is life!). Looking to April to decrease my library books and read more from my shelves. This should be helped by the fact that both book club books I actually own and am prioritizing.
