Reading and Watching
Sep. 29th, 2019 08:09 pm1. We went to see Downton Abbey. It is glorious and exactly what I was hoping for--basically a two hour episode with a little drama which is entirely resolved by episode's end. 
( spoilers ) Delightful.
2. Emma and I watched Into the Spiderverse last night. OMG! I mean, I knew it was going to be good. You've all said it's good. Everyone I know who's watched this movie has said it is amazing. And it *still* exceeded my expectations. Wow. I really hate that I missed this one on the big screen.
3. I have finished Carnival Row but am balking at typing up my notes for the final ep. Soon! Loved the hell out of the whole thing.
4.
The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is such a good book--the world building, the characters, the plot! Wow! I am blown away.
I wish I could give it 5 stars but the relentless and unremitting child harm made this an excellent novel I struggled to read at times rather than an excellent novel I could lose myself in.

( spoilers for the child harm ) I would not recommend this series for anyone who has issues reading child death and harm which makes me sad because it's really that damn good.
( spoilers for actual plot ) I would recommend this series for anyone to whom the previous trigger warnings do not apply. It's incredibly well written.
