What are you guys reading/watching/listening to this week?
- Just finished Twilight last week and now nearly half way through New Moon. I'm pleasantly surprised at how good they are so far. Not great, but good enough to pass the time. I might skip book 3 though as I heard there's some harsh stuff in it...
  I'm hoping this gets me back into reading again.
  
  I often pair up audio books with traditional reading so that I can hold my attention better. Sometimes I do both, and sometimes I'll listen while I drive or walk, and read when Im going to bed.
- Reading the planetfall series. It's weird. I like it!
  
  I'll have to check it out. Weird is good. Is it an easy read?
  
  I think so. There aren't a thousand characters and points of views and locations and stuff. It's quick and interesting. Apparently can be read in any order but I'm just starting at 1
- I've just finished reading Scarred about the NXIVM cult which was worth reading. I think I'm gonna read Hung Jury about the menendez brothers next.
  Tv wise I just finished s2 of Daryl Dixon which was OK, I'm now watching the penguin which I like but isn't life changing. What about you?
  
  I kind of gave up on Daryl Dixon after episode 2, but I loved The Penguin. The main actress is really good.
  I'm watching The Terminal List, it's surprisingly good! I expected chewing gum material but it's great.
  Also The Last of Us... brilliant.
  Silo, just started but so far so good.
  Hacks.. really good!
  And rewatching 30 Rock, which is amazing.
  
  Ah I loved TLOU but I know the plot of S2 and just can't watch that play out. Not my cup of tea. Silo I couldn't get into, but I love 30 rock! Liz Leeemooonnn!
  
  I knew nothing going in :'(
  
  I'll bet it was devastating. I seriously can't watch it or the aftermath I'll be ill
  
  I'm floundering trying to find something that holds my attention so I can stop doon scrolling🤣
  I was reading The Grace of Kings, Dandelion Dynasty Book 1 but I've put it down for a few weeks now. My attention span just isn't ready for this right now. Its a cool sounding story, I might try again soon.
  The Adventure Zone - Graduation is a DnD live play podcast from the McElroy family. I like their goofs. It was probably 2020 when I last listened to one of their story Arcs. If you Google reviews, a lot of people are kinda hard on this one, but im enjoying it enough.
  I'm trying to replace doom scrolling with doom listening, so I can walk and get in some cardio so I'm ready for the apocalypse.
  Some More News: digestible news and funny
  The Man Who Calculated Death: long form investigation podcast on Robert Lusser put together by his descendents grappling with their family's history. Very "Serial" vibes.
  
  That book looks solid! Doom listening is a good idea, it's far less inflammatory and you've got better control of it
