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.
