Two BOTM selections for me this month. It was my birthday month and thankfully there were multiple books I wanted to take advanttage of my free add-on book. For my birthday weekend, I also hit up the Library Sale, my favorite local used book store Jackson Street Booksellers, and Barnes and Noble. Finally I picked up a few book for the kids’ read aloud shelf.

Movies Watched
We Have a Ghost - We wanted to like it, but there was definitely some weird tonal shifts between the acts.
7 Days in Hell - Somehow I hadn’t seen this and J was amazed. It was hilarious.
The Last Vermeer - Interesting art drama based on a true story. A little too slow at times, but a good movie.
Cocaine Bear - Lots of gory fun. The tone was a little off in parts, but an enjoyable ride.
Operation Fortune - Not the best Guy Ritchie movie, but a fun one.
Ex-Machina - We finally got to this movie. Predictable, but a good scifi movie.
TV Shows Watched
Brave New World - We blew through this series. It was a good adaptation. Very not safe for kids and teens.
History of the World Part II - Delightful! Not every sketch was hilarious, but most were entertaining.
The Toys that Build America - We sprinkle these in when we don’t have another currently watching choice.
The Mandalorian S3 - Still in this show. We’ll see where it goes.
Ted Lasso S3 - So excited to be back with Ted and the gang.
McMillion$ - Randomly we remembered about this documentary series about the McDonald’s Monopoly cheating scandal. It had so many twists and turns! Very interesting.
Misfits S1 - Finally started this show. So good so far. Very into it.
Comments - And my big reading month streak continues. Even though I added many books to my Unread Shelves, I actually took a few off between reading and unshelving. Just need to step up the game a bit.
