I’m not much for scary books or movies, so you need to look elsewhere for that genre, but I might indulge in The Birds or The Addams Family movies. Safe spooking is no accident: I won’t watch Poltergeist, The Haunting of Hill House, or any slasher serials. Possibly Army of Darkness, which is too out there to be really scary.

We have successfully switched from Netflix to Paramount Plus which includes Showtime and lots of other extras for less than the other guys. There are random things I wanted to watch on Netflix but I expect I can find them by other means. Grace and Frankie is at the top of the list. And the last season of The Flash. But let’s look at books first.

Have your ever been waiting for a book or movie to come out and been so excited when you finally hold the volume or the ticket in your hand? Well, as soon as we are done with Supernatural, Mike and I have decided to leave Netflix and pick up Paramount+. All of the Star Trek stuff will then be at our fingertips, and I can hardly wait. In the meantime, here’s what has been keeping me busy as I recovered from cataract surgery.

One good side to having a lot of doctor appointments this month is that I got to sit in air conditioned waiting rooms reading my book. July also saw us finishing some of my favorite series shows, and just about running out of movies we were interested in. But all’s well that ends well. It might be time to watch all the Thor movies to prepare for Thor: Love and Thunder.

Is there such a thing as weather being too hot to allow me to read? Like my eyes dry out and want to slam shut instead of focusing on the words in front of me. I’ve been holding my own but had a lot of non-reading or writing things to do. I’ve only got two books to show for my efforts, but movies and series? Yes, those have been consumed in abundance.

I’m trying something a little different this month: I am doing the review of the book or movie or series as soon as I finish it. This will most impact the movies watched, as books take long enough to read that I am able to remember what I want to say about them when the Tweet blog comes around.

Tweet What You Read and Watched for April

Happy Spring to everyone, and joyous celebrations and remembrances for Passover, Easter, and Ramadan! The evenings are growing longer, with sunshine the regular condition, at least where I live. In fact we get almost too much sunshine, but that just makes it easier to find a good book and sit under a shady tree to read the afternoon away.

We know from the quotes from many famous writers that one way for a beginning writer to improve is to read lots of books. I like to think the same type of information can be gleaned from television series and movies. I’ve gotten so used to the standard story arc used in Star Trek: Deep Space 9 that I can often tell when an episode is going to pull a quick escape (sloppy writing) or segue into a second part. So I keep reading and watching and taking notes.

What a joy it is to have Disney Plus right now! No, I am not affiliated with them and I don’t get compensation for saying that I am enjoying the channel. You could probably figure it out when you see how many Disney movies and series are on my list. So let’s jump in.

Tweet What You Read for January

Got a lot of short holiday Romance books read over the last month. Good thing holidays don’t have to end if you don’t want them to. Also, as I noted last month, we have Disney+ so we are watching a lot more movies plus Loki every Sunday. Life is good!
