On the 'Done' list...

The air quality finally made it to a level where I was able to go bicycling outside yesterday, for the first time in a week! Oh, I've felt so trapped. From last Thursday onward, there was enough smoke inside my office AND our house that it was like sitting in a bar for hours on end. Ugh. Yesterday also allowed me to open up all the windows and let ( Read more... )

I enjoyed Safe, but only because I would enjoy MCH reading the phone book. ;-)

Will have to see if I can find And Then She Was Gone. Love a character heavy mystery. It sounds a bit like Gone Girl. Did you find that?

Yay on the rain and the smoke clearing a bit.

I enjoyed Safe too, but expect MCH probably was not the right choice for the part. He executive-produced the whole thing, so he must really have wanted it!

"And Then She Was Gone" sounds a bit like Gone Girl on the surface (and might have been why the library algorithms recommended it to me), but it wasn't anything like that. Interesting in a totally different way!

SO glad he smoke has cleared for now. It's been truly awful.

Okay! I'm like on the verge of buying it on Kindle but there are about four by different authors--who wrote it? :-))

Went with the Lisa Jewel (sp) one. Hope that's right. ;-)

Glad the air is getting better.

Ooh, haven't gotten to S2! Just finished S1. We watch it on DVD, so first we have to wait for the disks to come out. :O

Glad to hear your smoke is going away. That would be awful to have it in the house.

I started watching season one of Marcella but didn't finish it because, like most shows I watch, I either forget about it or get distracted by something else on Netflix. I also haven't watched Safe yet but it's on the list.

I have not watched Westworld. Alicia loves it but like most other shows, it's on the list of things to eventually watch :D

I also read the first book of the Dark Tower series that The Gunslinger originated from but it's been several decades ago and I have very little memory of what I read.

I heard good things about A Quiet Place when it came out. Did you watch it at the movies or on DVD? I only have Netflix streaming so it takes a while for movies to show up.

Hope you got in some good cycling time!

There was a boy in the first Dark Tower books, introduced after about the midway point, I think? He was about 7-8, and was definitely a secondary character at that point. Not so much in the movie, though!

We watched A Quiet Place on DVD-- we have both the streaming and the DVD plan, though I usually have more trouble finding stuff I want to see on DVD unless I suddenly pick up a TV series I want to binge-watch! I sometimes think I'd be better off with streaming + using Red Box now and then. :O

We got one day of biking outside, and then the rain started. But at least the air is better!
