June TBR Pile: I’m taking a break from the big TBR list and leaving everything open for June. I know there are few books I want to get to (book club selection and library books), but I’m going to let my mood lead my reading this month.
Movies watched
Mortal Kombat (2021) - Pretty decent action movie.
Raising Arizona - A rewatch, but it’s been at least 15 years. Still holds up!
10 Cloverfield Lane - This was surprisingly good.
Ghost Rider 2 - How did I miss this ridiculous Nicholas Cage movie? Goodness that was silly.
Wrath of Man - Back to what Guy Ritchie does best. Oh so good!
Cruella - I absolutely loved that one!
TV Shows watched
The Queen’s Gambit S1 - We sped through this one and it was delightful!
Calls S1 - So incredibly strange, but I loved it.
Star Trek: Voyager S3 - Still plugging along, watching all of Trek.
Below Deck: Sailing Yacht S2 - My silly guilty pleasure show.
Hustle S1-2 - J wanted me to start this one… decent so far.
Comments - May was a great month for books, movies, TV, and all around fun!
