Save Yourselves - Weird and odd. Loved it!
Enola Holmes - Delightful
Aladdin (2019) - Better than I thought it was going to be. Will Smith is a good different genie.
Crazy Rich Asians - Better than the book…
Phinneas and Ferb: Candace Against the Universe - Our entertaining family movie night selection.
The Doorman - So very forgettable.
Jaco - Knew the music, didn’t know the name. Interesting biography.

Comments - A mixed bag when it came to the quality of the books I read this month, but I did reach my number goal. I’ve put myself on a library hold ban for November and December (except for book club books). Things got a little out of a hand and I stop reading my unread books. Need to get back to my own bookshelves and knock out some more books.
