An American Plague

Ahh, something else to be afraid of. And I learned who Walter Reed was.

Locke & Key

Compelling premise, characters and setting undone by possibly the worst, most unbelievable final episode I’ve ever seen.

Widows

Well acted character study. Some really striking scenes. Not really about the heist.

Parasite

E had a small carcinoma removed from her ear this morning and we got out early and went to see a movie at the Drafthouse Village.

Good movie. Inequality poisons the rich and the poor, but we all want to be rich.

Aftermath Life Debt

A big popcorn movie of a book. Looks like I’m reading the trilogy.

Deep Down Dark

A compelling read about a barely imaginable experience, and a look into a mining subculture that exists within the larger Chilean culture about which I am mostly ignorant.

Aftermath

I’ve never read a movie universe expanding book, whatever you call that, but the author was funny on Twitter and made people mad by including a gay character, so I gave it a go. I liked all the characters and enjoyed the deeper look at the universe that the non main story vignettes gave. On the other hand, after the heroes escaped death for the 37th time I started to expect they would do so on the 38th… and 39th. But it was fun; I’ll probably read more.

Killers of the Flower Moon

Recently it seems like not a month goes by that I am not made aware of something incredibly awful that white people have done that I have never heard of before, and the last two have taken place in Oklahoma within the last hundred years. A compelling and disturbing book.

Wilder Girls

It was diverting enough while I was reading it, but when this one was over and settling in my head it just reminded me of a YA Annihilation with less mystery and more friendship. Which is fine, but probably not a comparison that your book is going to come out on top of. It was mostly about the relationships between the main girls, who I liked. I felt like some of the interpersonal development was a little rushed; I would have liked a little more.

The Boy apparently did not inherit my curse, as we both look completely normal in this quick one-off shot from Nate.
