So I thought I’d do some recommendations for those of us who aren’t watching the Super Bowl but who are stuck where everyone else is- or just recommendations period for a Winter Sunday. Then it sort of turned into a Super Bowl themed tag and includes books, movies, shows.
The whole nine years… which is a football thing right? Or golf? I don’t remember.

Die Hard
Directed By: John McTiernan
Grade: A-
Die Hard was my Blind Spot movie for November because I am in a very weird holiday mood. It was Die Hard or Krampus. But this… this turned out to be a good pick. Not sure I’d classify it as a Christmas movie as much as some people do but whatever.
It has young cute Alan Rickman in a suit.

Mulan
Directed By: Tony Bancroft and Barry Cook
Grade: A
I watched Mulan for the first time ever this month and I’m using it for my Blindspot Series for September even though it wasn’t on my list!
I was more than a little excited to see this one (and a couple of other Disney animated movies I missed) on Netflix. So it was lovely to check Mulan off my list.
So at the end of September I will have had this blog for 4 years. I was looking back over old posts to see if my opinions had changed about anything. I reread a couple of books I’ve loved in the past. I rewatched a bunch of movies. Probably the big one this year I’ve tried the whole audio book thing again.

Frankenstein
By: Mary Shelley
Grade: A
Whoa! Two classics this year for me! I am on a roll 🙂
Embarrassing fact: I was totally one of those people who thought Frankenstein was the monster. I mean I figured it out long before I read it but yeah, I thought that way too long myself. I enjoyed the book. Surprised myself really. But since a lot has been written about it I thought I’d just basically transcribed some of the notes I took.
Mostly on Frankenstein.
Spoilers.
