It's hard to decide what my favorite book was for October since they were all such enjoyable reads. Of the four books I managed to finish, My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry was the most entrancing and Black Widow (ironically) was the funniest. I read it for my book club, and it was picked because someone in my book club knows the author's brother-in-law. She's coming to our (virtual) meeting in December, and I'm looking forward to it!

Watched This Month
Netflix
- The Trial of the Chicago 7
This movie was fun, but hard to watch. Glad I watched it a couple weeks before the election, but still disturbing. Plenty of laughs and relatively happy ending despite covering serious issues--great cast.
- Girlfriends
I was too young for this when it was on the air, but really enjoying this show! Sadly, almost done with it--I'm on season 8, and since I just started watching in October. That can tell you how much I've been binging it.
- Great British Bake-Off
We're watching the current season and sadly all caught up. Really loved Japanese week and awaiting the next one!
- The Worst Witch
This is a cute live-action kids' show I found on Netflix when I was looking for a non-creepy Halloween watch. It's pretty fun and there are four seasons! A nice comforting watch right now.
CBS All-Access
- Star Trek Discovery
We've just watched the first two episodes so far, so I'm not all caught up, but this was the best first episode of Discovery so far! I'm so excited because this is the show I've been wanting for a while, the one that finally takes the Star Trek timeline farther into the future! (Star Trek Picard does as well, but this is even farther out!)
