Movies watched
- MCU - We are officially caught up with all the MCU movies out. I need to go watch Captain Marvel, but otherwise we are ready to see Endgame.
TV Shows watched
- The Tick S2 — I figured out the Duke twist towards the end, but still loved this series so much!
- Letterkenny — We are completely caught up with the series. Goodness! This better come back sometime this year. At any rate, this is going to be a series that we will probably rewatch many many times. Hilarious!
- Superstore — Keeping up with the current season.
- The Magicians S4 — Holy crap! This season was bonkers, but I loved every minute of it!
- Veep S7 — Still funny.
- Umbrella Academy S1 — We finally started this series and I’m really loving all the changes they made from the comic. Especially love Klaus!
Comments - Such a great reading month! I thought things would slow down, but amazingly I kept it up. Plus I met my Unread Shelf goal of four books. I’m super ambitious for May, but I may just accomplish my reading goals.
