Movies watched — We did January movie month. See what we watched here, here, and here.
TV Shows watched
The Bachelor S23 — Back at it even though I think Colton is a bit of a wet blanket.
Letterkenny S2 — This show makes me laugh so hard!
The Good Place S3 — This show continues to surprise us. Love it!
The Magicians S4 — Finally it’s back! And oh my, that was such a season opener.
Comments - I rocked my reading in January! Look at all those books I finished! Four of them were off my UnRead Shelf, so progress on my 50 book goal. Unfortunately I went a little library crazy which impaired my total. Looking for more reads from my shelves this February.
