Ohhhh this year has been something else. Little ole me looks back at the previous years and what I watched and how much I watched and honestly, I’m surprised I watched ANYTHING this year. It has been a rough year mentally and still going in that direction due to some personal family changes and situations so my mindset hasn’t been the best when it comes to focusing on this blog and watching movies and consuming content so this is what we’re working with.

I am quite impressed with what I watched and some movies have been checked off the list of really wanting to see them and find them to watch. It isn’t a lot but I’m not mad at the over all list. In addition to films and television, I have also been into reading (I stopped once I was in college) and bookstagram and booktube kinda consumed my life too. Most of these are horror and thriller so they will be included in here as well as some classics that I think most people need to experience. We’ll see what 2024 has to offer for both film consumption and book reading.
