How was it?

I liked it a lot. I was surprised to see it on the library shelf the one day when I was browsing. If you liked Joyland you’d probably like this one too.

I'll post my final list later, but I'd like to ask the hive-mind a question: I started a movie in 2021 that I did not finish, so I'll finish it soon. Does it go on the 2021 list, the 2022 list, or neither?

I think I mentioned this earlier in the thread, but what jumps out at me with my movie list is that I watched so many movies from franchises (roughly half of the moves I watched), something I'd like to cut down next year. I'm very happy with the book list, which was buoyed by breaking my foot and being on my back for nearly a month (almost all of The Expanse books were read during that time frame). I think in the end there were only 4-5 stinkers on my books list, so I think I chose well!
