Movies watched

  • Mission Impossible: Fallout — A good action film to entertain me for the night.

  • The Meg — Very fun action film, just don’t think too hard about it.

  • Upgrade — We liked it while watching, but many aspects of this movie make no sense.

  • The Three Musketeers (1948) — Not a new to me movie, but one I haven’t watched in years. Very entertaining.

  • Better Starting Running — A very quirky little movie. Pretty entertaining.

TV Shows watched

  • Jack Whitehall: Travels with My Father S2 — Another fun romp with Jack and his father.

  • Stan Against Evil S3 — This show is just so much fun!

  • Full Frontal — Trying to catch up but we’re like 6 weeks behind.

Comments - November did not quite go how I was expecting reading-wise. I got waylaid from my original list by a ton of library reads. But that’s cool. I still read a ton. Hoping to end the year on a high note with the Christmas Spirit Reading Challenge and attempting to complete a few of my other Reading Challenges.
