#AmReading + #AmWatching - May 2nd 2019 #Reviews

It's time to take a look at what I've been reading and watching during this past week.

If you want to know more about the book, or the author, click on whichever it is you want to learn more about, and it will take you to the appropriate page on Goodreads. Clicking on my rating should take you to my actual Goodreads review for the book in question. Please bear in mind that the format I've reviewed on Goodreads may not be the format I actually read.

Alternatively, if it's a movie or TV show you want to know more about, just click on the title to go to a page where you can find out more details about the movie or TV show in question; the title links will usually take you to a page on IMDB.

Don't forget: I read and watch things across multiple genres, as well as for different age ranges, so you should always check before reading or viewing, to make certain something is suitable for the intended audience, especially when children are involved.

OK...

Here's what I read this week:

Lilac Girls by Martha Hall Kelly
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a heartbreaking story, which is well-written. Following the three different stories was a bit confusing at first, because of getting all the people figured out as regards who they were to each person. But once I got used to that, I was able to focus on the story better, and it all came together nicely in the end.

As for what I've been watching:

I watched four DVDs over the past week. First I watched the last two disks of NCIS season 8, and then I watched the first two disks of NCIS season 9. I did consider taking a break between seasons to watch one of the movies in my to-watch DVD pile, but season 8 ended in such a way that I was rather glad I had season 9 ready to start so soon after finishing it, so I ended up not taking the movie break after all.

I also watched the next two episodes of "Critical Roll" (so, episodes 12 and 13). Though I'm not sure if you'd really count that as a show I'm trying to catch up on watching, since it's not a TV show in the usual sense of the word. I mentioned it in previous review posts though, so figured I'd do so again.

Oh, and I caught a few minutes of "Ant Man And The Wasp" when it was on TV the other day. Nowhere near enough to say I watched it, but enough to tell me I want to, since I think it looks pretty good. I seem to remember enjoying "Ant Man" though, so I might have tried to see it anyhow. Still, it's nice to know at least part of the movie will be good. *wink*
