Made a goal of 50 books for the year and have already made a good start towards that! All of the ones I read this month were in series, which I didn't do on purpose - in retrospect, my choices seem based on a philosophy of Pirates Float My Boat. 🏴☠️⚓
( Books )
TV:
I finished a couple of series in January: S1-5 of 911 and Andor. I've also been rewatching Castle, which I can honestly say, I find a lot more fun than Mentalist. 911 feels a lot like Grey's Anatomy to me, with the Crazy Storylines built around the theme of the ep. I can also see why everybody on tumblr (and I think somebody on my reading list) ships Eddie/Buck - they're like Wednesday/Enid on Wednesday: sure they have obligatory hetero romantic interests but it's pretty obvious the cornerstone of their hearts, the person they have Intense Emotions for, is actually the "best friend"? (The writers seem to acknowledge this with Eddie and Buck being mistaken for a couple in series too, LOL.)
Andor was honestly amazing - how does it exist in the same Universe as that last movie that Shall Not be Named because it was so bad? Or Obi-Wan which was all hype, overacting, and plotholes big enough for the Death Star to slip through. Andor just had so much to say about societal control and politics, about human flaws and love in spite of that, and its characters are so real, even the Imperial bad guys. The impenetrable bureaucracy too, hahahaha too real! Plus how the tension started out as a trickle of unease that kept ramping up as things got revealed! I am just despairing at how the next season won't be coming for about two years, but I'm sure it will be amazing too. I will probably re-watch this soon, but next on my TV list is Interview with the Vampire.
Any thoughts on these series, oh reading list? Or pirate-y book recs? LMK!
