Books and Movies

Recently finished reading: "Diamond Eye" by Kate Quinn. Very good. I have to say I usually avoid historic fiction, but I have liked every single book by Kate Quinn so far. I really like how she is able to take real events and real people (Lyudmila Pavlichenko, WWII sniper) and weave them into a story that's both sensitive and honest.

Currently reading: "Our Kind of Traitor" by John le Carre. I like it so far, but I haven't had the time to get too far into it.

Currently watching, sort of: Wayne. Really like it, but I don't know if I'll be watching the last 2 episodes.. there is just too much violence and I feel so bad for Wayne and Del.

Currently watching, sort of: Victoria. Kids and I started watching it a few weeks ago - we got through the first season. The girls like it - and it's a fun show to watch together and discuss the queen, how life was back then, etc. We'll be picking it up again once my work stuff gets settled down a bit.

Finished watching: Outer Range. It was... weird. And not necessarily in "this is so weird, I love it!" kind of way. I did like the scenery - the mountains, the fields... nicely done cinematography. The characters were either outright despicable or difficult to like.

Finished watching: Night Sky. It was weird, but I kind of liked it. Puzzle within a puzzle. Love the concept of secret doorways and null-transport. Hopefully 2nd season is coming.
