CURRENTLY READING

🩷 Krista: Play Nice by Rachel Harrison

💛 Becca: Nobody Like Us (reread) - I'm actually done with my Nobody Like Us reread! I love Luna & Donnelly so much, and this book gives me allllll the Like Us series feels in one.

LAST MOVIE WATCHED

🩷 Krista: The Wrong Paris (2025) - Rating 10/10Weapons (2025) - Rating 8/10

💛 Becca: 28 Years Later (2025) - Rating 5/10: I had very high expectations for this one, and it just didn't really match with its predecessors. I even rewatched 28 Days Later beforehand. On its own, I think it's a decent zombie flick, but it shouldn't have been related to the franchise. I read a review that said it's like a parable on death following a young boy, and knowing that, I can appreciate the film for what it is. But it's really not like 28 Days Later, and it felt like two different movies in one. I actually very much enjoyed the first half and would've given it an 8/10, but the second half was a solid 2/10. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) - Rating 10000/10: This was a rewatch in spirit of our New Zealand trip where the Lord of the Rings was filmed. This movie is an absolute classic and still stands the test of time!

BEST IN TV

🩷 Krista: Alien: Earth, Gen V, The Summer I Turned Pretty, Foundation

💛 Becca: Foundation, The Summer I Turned Pretty, The Challenge: Vets & New Threats, The Runarounds

Foundation - Krista recommended this to me, and I binged all three seasons after our deadline. It was AMAZING!!! One of the best shows I've ever seen. I love Isaac Asimov's Foundation (like Luna Hale!) but I had never tried the TV show out because it seemed so different from the book. It's really epic, and I hope more people keep tuning in.

The Summer I Turned Pretty - I was unnaturally invested in this show after starting it mid-season 3 and then going backward to watch season 1 and 2. #TeamConrad!

The Challenge: Vets & New Threats - I caught up with this season of the Challenge on the plane to Australia. I'd been down on it at first, but it gets so much better. If you stopped early on, definitely keep going. They actually solidify the paired-up teams. I hated that they kept switching partners, but mid-season they stick with pairs and it becomes way more interesting once those are locked in.

The Runarounds - last summer of their high school year, a group of seniors try to make their dreams come true with their rock band. Love the concept, especially because the actors are in an actual band together in real life. It's kind of a spin-off of Outerbanks, but you don't need to watch that show at all. That said, it has Outerbanks "suspend your disbelief" elements, even if it's about music. I love the parts that are grittier and deal with their personal struggles rather than the "adventure" elements, so the last half of the season sold me. It focused way more on the personal connections, and I loved how emotional it got, even between some of the bandmates!
