mu cephei - 22/50 books | 49/50 films

Books

19. Girl in Snow by Danya Kukafka
20. Hot Milk by Deborah Levy
21. My Absolute Darling by Gabriel Tallent
22. Rogue States by Noam Chomsky

Re-reads

Last Summer by Evan Hunter

Films

45. Alien: Covenant (2017) dir. Ridley Scott
46. Dinosaur 13 (2014) dir. Todd Douglas Miller
47. Gifted (2017) dir. Marc Webb
48. The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (2006) dir. Mamoru Hosoda
49. Jack Reacher: Never Go Back (2016) dir. Edward Zwick

No amazing films this month. Alien Covenant was utter crap. Jack Reacher was mediocre at best. Gifted was manipulative and it put my niece in tears which I guess was the intention. The Girl Who Leapt Through Time was pretty funny but went a bit too far in the teen romance angst direction. Dinosaur 13 was really good, I didn't know the story at all and had to resist googling it halfway through.

Woo - finished! EverythingShiny - 50/50 Books | 62/50 movies

Read/watched some great stuff this year. I particularly enjoyed the Mistborn novels and Nick Cutter's books. Of all the movies I watched this year, Take Shelter was probably my favorite with Mulholland Drive a close second.

Thanks, GK86, for running this the years I've been part of it. It's motivated me to keep my reading up, the same way the 52 Games a Year challenge motivated me to play my games and get rid of my backlog. I appreciate it.
