Seen and Read in 2024

Leave a Comment / book review, movie reviews, review / By

I just came across this post from director Steven Soderbergh detailing everything he saw and read in 2024, and I really liked the way he broke it out. I liked it so much that I decided to do the same thing this year with my year in review, detailing everything I consumed, and not just highlighting the best. I still want to highlight the best, however, so I’m going to put an asterisk in front of anything I gave an 8.5 to, two asterisks for a 9, three for a 9.5, and four for a 10. Make sense?

Not only does this seem more interesting to me, but it means I don’t have to come up with something pithy to say about why I liked what I liked. Bonus!

So here we go, in chronological order. Everything. I might have gotten a couple of the dates wrong, and I might have missed a movie or TV show or two. It’s hard to keep track of everything, but I know I got my 52 books in.

On Bad Reviews (and Hello Again!)

Hiya everybody! Here we are in 2025, and I’m ready to get back into the swing of things. I want to start things off by a look back on my watching and reading in 2024, as I am wont to do. Before I go into that, though, I wanted to…

Television Review: Only Murders in the Building Season 4

First off, the good: any time I’m still watching a show in its fifth season, that’s a sign that I’m a pretty big fan of what they’ve been producing. And Only Murders in the Building is a genuinely good show. The first season was fantastic. Steve Martin and Martin Short…
