Movies watched
Set It Up - A very enjoyable romantic comedy.
Echo in the Canyon - Awesome music documentary.
The Dark Tower - Ooof. Not great. Very confusing… and I read the books.
Bedazzled (1967) - Never saw this one. Really enjoyed Peter Cook in this one.
Fyre Fraud and Fyre - We watched both documentaries to compare and contrast. I think Fyre Fraud was more effective.
London Has Fallen - Oof. That was terrible.
Angel Has Fallen - Slightly better than London Has Fallen, but still terrible. Goodness. We need pick some better movies.
Pride, Prejudice and Mistletoe - Silly Christmas romance. I do enjoy these some days.
Dealt - Fascinating documentary about a card mechanic.
TV Shows watched
Letterkenny S7 - A bit of an uneven season, but there were definitely some great jokes in there! And we finally got to see them play hockey!
His Dark Materials S1 - I’m so excited about this one… So far, so good.
Superstore S5 - It’s our light and fluffy show.
The Good Place S4 - Oh goodness! This season is really coming together.
A Chef’s Life S1 - I went back to rewatch this series from the beginning. I think I stopped somewhere in S3.
The Mandalorian S1 - Getting so excited about this series.
American Gods S1 - Finally got this show started after J finished the book awhile back.
Daybreak S1 - Wow! Really enjoying this series so much!
Comments - Such a killer reading month! I read a ton, some good, some not so good. But at least I knocked off some titles from my TBR pile. And I even clarified my reading goals for next year. Now on to December and my last chance to read for this year.
