Movies watched

  • Hired Gun - Fascinating documentary about musicians. Wish they would have spent a little less time on the Billy Joel storyline.

  • Apollo 11 - The story of the Apollo 11 mission told through archival footage and audio transmissions. A work of art in itself!

TV Shows watched

  • Veep S7 - And with that, the show is over!

  • Game of Thrones S1 - We restarted the entire series now that the show is ending.

Comments - As predicted, my reading momentum slowed down just a bit. But I’m still really happy at my reading this month. Lots of mediocre reads, but a couple of really good ones.
