Last month I (hopefully) had my final academic exams ever! I will know my results on Friday and I'm currently starting to apply for teaching jobs. To say I'm nervous about this is an understatement.
Today I want to share what happened on my blog so far this year and which movies and TV shows I watched in January.
On my blog
Best book I read so far: Godsgrave by Jay Kristoff
Movies
Star Wars: The Return of the Jedi
Star Wars: The Force Awakens
Star Wars: The Last Jedi
I watched the original movies with my parents in order to go see the newest in theatres. Really enjoyed it!
Before I go to sleep
Most disappointing movie of the month. Liked the book but should have avoided the movie.
Arrival
Really surprised by this one! I liked that this was about language!
Dunkirk
Great movie but a little confusing at first, we didn't realize it wasn't chronological until the second part of the film.
Blade Runner
Finally got a chance to watch this, can't wait to watch the sequel!
Land of Mine
Probably my favourite movie of the month! It was very gripping! Review to come!
TV shows
Lucifer
Love this show! It's only getting better in my opinion!
The Crown
This was fantastic! A bit slow at first but so addicting! Review to come!
The Marvellous Mrs. Maisel
I enjoyed this but I thought I would love it more.
Brooklyn nine-nine
Fun show, as always!
The Good Place
Love this one! Still have to watch the last episode of the season, though! I want to savour it!
The End of the F***ing World
This show was nuts but perfect to binge watch!
The Punisher
I started watching this when it came it but wasn't in the mood for it at the time. The first episodes are a bit slow, but man, does it get better soon! Highly recommend this one! My favourite Netflix superhero show!
Grace and Frankie
I was looking for another show with short episodes and found this one! Really enjoying it!
The Night Manager
I've had heard such amazing things about this show but it started quite slow, the end was better but this definitely wasn't one of the better show I've seen this month.
What did you recently watch? Have you seen any of the movies or TV shows above or are you planning to? Leave your thoughts down below!
Also, I could use some recommendations on shows that are about 20-30 minutes long!

Have a wonderful week everyone!
I have not watched any of these but Lucifer and did not like the show. I watch little TV but what I do is only a few. I have been watching old British Movies. Like Pride and Prejudice, Emma, etc. That's been my week.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great week!
Mary @StackingMyBookShelves!
Love those! I could watch period dramas all the time!
DeleteI binged watched The End of the F***ing World last night, that show is crazy but it had me laughing. I hope you have a wonderful week. Happy Reading.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it too!
DeleteI love Lucifer, The Crown too of course. I actually thought it was slow at first too and before I knew it I was hooked. Brooklyn nine-nine is definitely one of my favorite shows EVER! I still need to watch The Punished but I haven't been in the mood for it yet. Maybe soon. Haven't actually been watching much lately. Mostly stuff on YouTube and Friends on Netflix. lol
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoy those too! I needed to be in the right mood too to truly appreciate The Punisher. I watched Youtube a lot less last month, which is probably why I was able to watch all the rest.
DeleteGood luck on your exams!

ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
Thank you!!
DeleteGood luck for your exam results! I intend to watch The Crown when I get the chance but reading is taking over at the moment!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I highly recommend The Crown but it took me some time to start watching it too because reading got in the way! Happy reading!
DeleteFirst off, good luck finding a teaching job---I hope you find one that's perfect for you! I really want to watch The Good Place. I've been seeing people mentioning a lot, and I adore Kristin!
ReplyDeleteNicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction
Thank you!! The Good Place is amazing! I hope you'll have the chance to watch it soon!
DeleteI just got started with The Crown and loving it. Good luck with the job search.
ReplyDeleteThank you! The Crown is amazing!
DeleteI didn't like the Arrival either! I was loving Lucifer but then got bored. I should got back to it then since you said it's getting better! Fingers crossed about your exams and good luck job hunting!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! My main problem with Lucifer is Chloe, but the further in the show, the more interesting the other secondary characters become.
DeleteI love Brooklyn 99 too! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a really fun show!
Deletefunny the opposite happened to me with Before I go to sleep! I liked the movie but the book not so much :)
ReplyDeleteI read that book in high school so I'm not sure if I would like it now.
DeleteI hope you did well on your exams, Lynn. What a relief to have them behind you! I haven't seen Before I Go to Sleep, but I read the book. I had planned to see the movie after, but lost interest after reading the book. I really want to see Dunkirk. Maybe now that it is on DVD, I will be able to. The Good Place is such fun, isn't it? I love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Dunkirk is really good! A bit confusing at some point but really worth it! The Good Place is amazing!
