Haven't been reading much this month. A hundred pages into The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.

Speaking of WWII, In This Corner of the World (anime) was way better than the documentary-like Dunkirk. Spider-Man was great.

  • The Boy

First time trying audiobooks. I somewhat enjoyed it, maybe it was the book. But I'm making my way through Alien: Out of the Shadows, which is an "audio drama" and I'm loving it. The production is fantastic.

I have almost matched up my book total from last year (11). I'm trying to pick up the pace, even though I'm sure I won't reach 50.

I will say, Hidden Figures absolutely blew me away. An amazing movie and it made me tear up. The Boy was a nice surprise. Rogue One was boring as fuck for the first hour and non-stop action the second hour.

It's one of my favorite books! Granted, I read it when I was in middle school so I'm not sure how to reads as an adult. And I still love it despite the author being an asshole to me in person.

Can't go wrong with prime Robert Redford. The avatar is of Maria Sharapova from the presser where she announced she failed a drugs test.

WolfeTone - 27/50 books | 30/50 movies


Books:


26. The Color Purple (1982), Alice Walker - ★★★★
27. The Sense of an Ending (2011), Julian Barnes - ★★★★


Movies:

24. Baby Driver (2017) - ★★★★
25. Okja (2017) - ★★★

27. Raising Arizona (1987) - ★★★
28. Barry Lyndon (1975) - ★★★
29. Dunkirk (2017) - ★★★
30. Eraserhead (1977) - ★★★

Comments: Poor month for books, although I did enjoy both novels I read quite a bit. I think this was the most movies I watched in a month this year. Nothing really blew me away, but nothing was awful either. I was hoping for more from Barry Lyndon and Dunkirk in particular.
