November Media. Solid month! TRAIN DREAMS (both book and film) great, STEVE something I stumbled on and really loved, and fun to see the third KNIVES OUT installment in theaters despite it being hard to do so. I imagine it will be a strong December.

Super strong Q3 for music, I am guessing half of my top ten this year will come from this quarter.

A day late, whoops! May Media. Not my strongest showing, bailed on a couple of books that didn't grip me. Fair amount of television. Highly recommend SHARP CORNER.

April 2025 Media. Three great reads and a fair number of films! All the Pretty Horses is the first fiction book I have (willingly) re-read in easily 15 years. The prose is unbelievable and I certainly appreciated it more now than I did when I read all those years ago.

March 2025 Media. Tough month! March is busy as always, and Twin Peaks S2 is consuming most of my TV/film watching time.
Greenlights and The Glass Castle both sibling recs, and Autumn was an incredible read.

February 2025 Media. I had planned on watching more films but fell short due to being sucked in by "Twin Peaks."
