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.
