Movies watched
- Rocketman - I really enjoyed this biopic.
- Operation Mincemeat - Such a great drama about the WWII spy mission.
TV Shows watched
- Moon Knight S1 - I really enjoy the weird side of Marvel
- Holey Moley S4 - Our fun silly show
- Star Trek: Voyager S4 - Slowly slowly making our way through
- The Great S2 - Getting back into this season. Such a joy.
- Below Deck Sailing Yacht - Still my silly reality show pic
- Love Life S1 - I’ve really fallen for this show. Almost finished with S1.
- Sex Education S1 - Randomly started watching while J was as a movie. Really enjoying it so far.
Comments - Wow! That page count is ridiculously high for me. I ended up reading some really enjoyable books this month. I don’t imagine that June will have as high numbers as May, but’s okay. I’m looking forward to many of the reads on tap. And I have the retreat to focus on reading for a weekend.
