So much. 42 books so far and 32 movies since July. I don't know how many before that because I imported data into Letterboxd and it messed everything before July up. I feel the full lists would be too long. And Letterboxd includes my ratings and I don't feel like getting dissed. Looking over it I feel like a lot of my ratings are contentious.

I also played through all Horizon games and DLC again.

    Could you name a book/movie or two that are among those that stuck out from the rest?

    My favorite movie I saw this year is Code 3 with Rainn Wilson. It was funny and heartbreaking. Everything involving children getting hurt is extremely difficult for me to watch since I have kids and the movie has that. But as it's also a comedy it was OK. Although one image is still stuck in my brain.

    I also finally watched Mars Express and loved the art and the story. I would love to see more movies like it.

    The biggest disappointment movie-wise was Frankenstein. I need to care about at least one character to enjoy a movie and I couldn't give a damn about anyone in this movie.

    My favorite book was Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree because it was so damn cozy. I am holding off on reading the sequel for a time when I really need something cozy again.

    Another book I quite enjoyed was Dreadful by Caitlin Rozakis. It's about a wizard waking up with memory loss who slowly realizes he's an evil wizard.
