Some Stuff
Jan. 28th, 2019 09:15 pm1.) Apparently we'll be getting more snow tomorrow? It's more than cold enough, and I wouldn't mind, even though that would probably mean having to slog through some online classes.
2.) I finished The War That Saved My Life, one of the books recced to me during the Snowflake Challenge, a week or two ago and absolutely loved it; it's historical fiction set during WWII, featuring two neglected city kids sent out to the country and their depressive, prickly, extremely practical and very loving caretaker. It also does not have a depressing ending, despite being a Newbery Honor book, and there's a sequel that I'll hopefully get to sooner rather than later. Next on my list is Beyond the Bright Sea, which
theuncertainhour recommended--more middle grade historical fiction! It sounds pretty much tailor-made to my interests, too, so I'm pretty excited.
3.) Frank & Amy! They're still on my mind. Not that I'm ever a hard sell on found family relationships, but something about this one hooked in and still hasn't let me go. I've already rewatched a bunch of their scenes together, and I should probably just go ahead and rewatch the entire season while I'm at it.
4.) Kind of related to 3.)--I may have gone ahead and bought the first and only season of Mob City off Amazon Prime. At this point I'm ridiculously anxious about the possibility of a third season for The Punisher (even though there's really no reason to be anxious, since it seems like there's a 99-100% chance that Netflix will cancel), so why not distract myself with another short-lived show starring Jon Bernthal? I've actually wanted to watch this one for a few years now--it looks brutal and twisty, and one season isn't a huge time commitment.
