I'm watching more than I'm reading. Normally, I post after I've finished a series, but I've been dabbling with a bunch and not really finishing anything.
I've started The Umbrella Academy before the second season is due on Netflix. I've started The Great on Hulu. I put on Crazy Delicious on Netflix when I need something on in the background. I like the first two, but I haven't been captured enough to binge watch. The third is literally just if I need something on as noise.
Last night, we started I'll Be Gone in the Dark on HBO. I have to admit that I didn't finish the book, but I really liked the book. I'm thinking of going back to finish now, but the first episode premiered last night. I thought it was well done. I loved Michelle McNamara's style of focusing on the victims and survivors. It really respected them instead of giving way to torture porn or sensationalizing the violence and/or killer. The new perspective and conversational writing really drew me in.
I'm finding I'm focusing more than at the beginning of these unprecedented times, but it's still a struggle. If the content is right, it's working which is a step in the right direction of things (or at least recreation) going back to normal. Meanwhile, Little Miss has been reading a book a day or more. She's digging into her Rick Riordan books that have been piling up as well as listening to audio books. That's pretty much the only reason I don't harp too much on the fact that she spends all day locked in her room.
