Movies watched

• Rampage -- Way more entertaining than it should have been. Loved it!
• Please Stand By -- An interesting coming-of-age story.

TV Shows watched

• Jack Whitehall Travels with My Father S1 -- So incredibly funny! And we're excited to learn that there's going to be another season.
• Bounty Hunters S1 -- We went on a Jack Whitehall binge clearly. This one was very fun. Here's hoping for another season.
• The Tick S1 -- J made me watch this one and I loved it so much! 
• Legion S2 -- Finally restarted the second season.

Comments - A big dip in my reading this month but no worries. I'm now back to my usual reading levels. I've pulled about 20 owned books that I want to read before we move in September. Hoping to get those knocked out and refrain from checking out too many library books.
