January's Stories I Ate This Month

I got this idea from one of the many BookTubers that I watch on YouTube all of the time, Christine Riccio. Her channel name is polandbananasBOOKS. I will link her most recent "Stories I Ate This Month." The reason that I prefer this over a monthly reading wrap up is that it includes all of the stories, no matter the format that they are in, that I have consumed over the month. So here are my stories. Also, any reviews that I have posted so far, I will link. 


Movies
  • The Greatest Showman 
    • Such a good movie!! I have not stopped listening to the music since seeing it. 
    • A+
  • Pitch Perfect 2
    • I decided to watch this after seeing the third one because I realized that I hadn't watched it. It was pretty good. I think that the first one will forever be my favorite though. 
    • B+
  • Pitch Perfect 3
    • Went and saw this on New Years with my best friend. It was good. I've been listening to some of the songs still actually. I just loved that it was surrounding a USO tour. 
    • A-
TV Shows
  • Marvel's Runaways - a Hulu original
    • SOOOOOOOO GOOOD!!!!!! I am so obsessed with this show. It made me read the comics as you will see further down in this wrap-up. It was so damn good!!! I can not wait for season 2. 
    • A+
  • Good Girls Revolt - an Amazon original
    • I'm really sad that there isn't going to be a season 2 of this. It was really good and I wish that we could see what would happen now that the girls' lawsuit went public!!
    • A+
  • Shooter (season 1)
    • It was a good, suspenseful show. Exactly what I wanted. When season 2 comes on Netflix, I definitely will be watching it. 
    • A
  • She's Gotta Have It - a Netflix original
    • This was such a good show. I binged it in two nights! It does a great job of going against the stigma of casual sex for women, deals with PTSD like symptoms after a sexual assault, artistry, etc. I loved the cinematography. 
    • A+
Audiobooks
  • Our Revolution - Bernie Sanders; narrated by Bernie Sanders and Mark Ruffalo
    • Such an inspiring read. It made me understand why Sanders believes what he does and I think that is important when you are supporting someone or not for that matter. 
    • A+
  • The Last Black Unicorn - Tiffany Haddish; narrated by the author
    • Hilarious!! I was laughing the entire time I read this. It also made me feel other things for her as well. I'll elaborate in my review. 
    • A+
Books
  • The Sign of The Four - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
    • Exactly what I expect from a Sherlock Holmes story.
    • A-
  • Far From The Tree - Robin Benway
    • I cried, a lot! I've never watched This Is Us but this has been compared to it often in reviews and if they are similar then I can guarantee that I will be watching This Is Us as soon as I get a chance. 
    • A+
  • The Nowhere Girls - Amy Reed
    • At first, I wasn't sure that I was going to really get into this. It seemed like it was going to be very similar to Moxie by Jennifer Mattieu, which I loved, but I just knew that I wasn't going to want to read the same story again. Thankfully this is very different even though it has many similarities. So good!
