November has come and gone and it was a pretty nice month. We had our annual Thanksgiving visit to Robolights house in Palm Springs where I- who endless complains about the hot weather and would move anywhere else- complained endlessly how cold I was.
December is here and the Aquaman press is already in full swing. Plus Venom will be streaming on the 11th. So it will be a very beautiful month entertainment wise.
Books
Thanks to Nonfiction November/Sci-Fi Month I read more than usual… yeah, I read 24 books this month but that includes a play, 4 novellas and a book in verse. Loved Skyward, Bringing Down the Colonel and a few others but I think my favorite would have to be the four novellas that make up the Murderbot series starting with:
Murderbot looks scary but he’s really just a cupcake who can’t deal with emotions and wants the humans to leave him alone so he can watch his shows. I think this is my new book husband. Also I really loved the audio books on these.
I also read Lifel1k3 but here I think the most that can be said is a good ending but it’s time to put Mister Kristoff in the “we just don’t hit it off” list. Honestly, I can’t even say if it was a good ending cause I was just so happy to make it to the end!
Shows
Utterly obsessed with The Good Place (as so many people told me I would be) and I am Chidi. I want Tahani’s clothes. Everyone’s just so damned good and the shows thought provoking and yeah, it’s amazing. I have two episodes left on season 2 and then the current season but I’m probably going to ramble about it soon.
As expected Netflix cancelled Daredevil. Which sucks but I don’t know if they could have topped last season. They should probably just ax Jessica Jones and The Punisher now cause we all knows it’s coming.
Films
I was able to see several films in November but still I think I enjoyed Ralph Wrecks the Internet most.
I also watched a pretty good Joan Didion documentary called The Center Cannot Hold on Netflix. I got a good feel for her voice which is currently making The White Album a pretty swift read but I do think it was lacking some things and there’s seems to be a weird discrepancy with the date of her husbands death which is a little thing but annoyed me.
December does bring Into the Spiderverse, The Favourite and of course…
I promise I’m not going to drop pictures of him everywhere all month!
Haha Murderbot is the best. I want that series to go on forever. And Daredevil *sigh* I kinda hope Marvel will continue the show on their own streaming service (and Jessica Jones too) but I’m not holding my breath. Dammit I wanted more Elodie Yung as Elektra too…
There’s supposed to be a full new novel in 2020! I need it now though 🙂
I hope Elodie will continue to get work. She was pretty good in Hit-Man’s Bodyguard. And I love her interviews.
I love The Good Place too! And yes, I agree, Tahani has the best style ever. I want her entire wardrobe (though I still think she’s annoying as hell). I’m really looking forward to Spiderverse and Aquaman!! I hope they’re epic, though even if they’re not, it’s okay. I never miss a chance to see Jason in whichever form he decides to assume. Mortal Engines and Robin Hood are on my list as well ^^
Also, congrats on a great reading month! That’s a LOT of books and I’m very very jealous and impressed.
Awesome post, hon <3
Thank you!
Tahani name dropping can get annoying but for some reason I found her death hysterical. “I died in Cleveland!” Michael: “Is that really all you took from that?”
I had never heard of Mortal Engines before seeing the trailer but it looks interesting. Hopefully they’ll all be great 🙂
Love the list and the post!❤💛❤😊 I will have to check some of these out.
Thanks! I hope you enjoy them!
I’m sure I will!💖
Aquaman!!! Finally!! 17 more days for me
Me too! Two plus hours of wet shiny Jason 🙂 (Jason period!!!) I’m trying not to be too excited… Its not working though.
Welcome to The Good Place club, it’s one of my favourite shows. It’s soooo good. Enjoy! 🙂
I was thinking of you when I saw billboards for Aquaman! Have you seen it? If so, how many times?? 😉 Hope it’s a lot of fun.
I saw recently Hunt for the Wilderpeople – I loved it. Such a darkly funny and touching movie. If you haven’t seen it yet, I really recommend it. 🙂
I really enjoyed Wilderpeople! Sam Neil and the kid had such great chemistry.
That’s what I thought as well. Glad you enjoyed it too. 😊
Pahaha Murderbot Diaries looks so good! Robot definitely is coming across like a classic dad.
The Good Place is AMAZING. Easily one of the best shows I’ve watched in recent times. I fancy the pants off Chidi, what a guy, really, they’re all amazing!
Chidi is the cutest! His indecision and second-guessing actually makes mine look normal 🙂
Pahaha, how bad is yours? Even half of that must be a bit of a headache. 😪
Oh mines bad. Maybe not Chidi levels but I have been told it must be hell to be in my head!
Yay again that you’re obsessed with the good place. And I want to read skyward too 🙂
