How is everyone's summer going? Mine is busy, sunny, eventful and fun so far. I really should get a job where I have the summers off. Truly. There's just not enough time to do all the fun things!
A few random things:
→ So from the beginning I was skeptical, but still mostly excited, about Go Set a Watchman. And then the first chapter's release last week made me even more skeptical, and a lot less excited. So I wasn't sure I was going to read it at all at that point... but I decided to go ahead and use one of my remaining audible credits to get the audiobook (narrated by Reese Witherspoon) and so I will report back what I think when I'm done. Is anyone else giving it a go?
→ I finished my third John Green book this week. I liked The Fault in Our Stars. I loved Paper Towns... and now that I've finished it I can definitely say that I (fugging) HATED An Abundance of Katherines. Sad, but true. I was considering giving Looking for Alaska another shot because that was actually the first John Green book I attempted to read several years ago but never got past the first couple of chapters. But now I am not so sure. Can't say I never finished it because the book was bad or good... I just... I start a lot of books.
→ I've been to the movies more in the past month than I have in the past year probably. I saw Aloha, Jurassic World (twice), Dope, Me Earl and the Dying Girl (good book), and Inside Out. After I see Paper Towns I might have to put the breaks on summer movies for a little while. It's a budget buster!
→ Switched from Netflix digital to the disc option and am enjoying that. Really liked The Good Lie with Reese Witherspoon (I'm really just trying to mention her as often as possible in one post... lol.) and also LOVED The DUFF with Mae Whitman. I've got Chappie at home right now (I'm in it for for Dev Patel!) and next up is This is Where I Leave You which... I wasn't all that excited about but somehow it ended up on my queue anyway. Anything you think I should put on my queue?
→ I haven't seen much from Comic-Con. Anything worth checking out? Was Reese Witherspoon there? (Third mention! Was it too obvious?)
→ I'm behind on PLL which is pretty much the only tv show I'm watching right now. Slight exception for Graceland but I'm just not into it so it barely counts.
