Best of February

Feb flew by! Here are our bests of last month!

Best Book of the Month:

Blodeuedd -  Nadda this month

"I am not gonna give a best book. Because they were all good, but none of them was better than the rest."

Carole - The Governess Game by Tessa Dare

"Dare is always so much fun. This was extra fun. Loved it so much."

Best Movie of the Month:

Carole - A Haunting in Venice (2023)

"Gotta love a good mystery. This was a mystery in everyway. Loved it! I want more of these movies!"

Blodeuedd - The Abyss (2023)

"I watched this one and it worked in places, but all I am saying the Swedes can not bring the emotions the Norwegians can. Pretty boring at times too."

Best TV show of the Month:

Blodeuedd - Bluey (s1-s2)

"Pretty sure I finished something, but eh. I watched a lot of Blue, without watching, but at every third watch of an ep. Yeah I know them."

Carole - Brooklyn Nine-Nine

"Decided to re-watch all of this after the actor, Andre Braugher, passed away. He was my favorite on this show so I felt like I needed to re-watch. Such a good show. Def binge-worthy."

REVIEW:

Oooo! Another Poirot!! I hope they keep making more. 

It is post-WWII. Poirot is now retired and hiding in Venice. He is forced, to help a friend, by attending a séance to try and debunk this Medium. When one of the guests is murdered, it is up to the former detective to uncover the killer. 

Gotta love Poirot! He is a gem. An arrogant gem, but he has really earned to not be humble. However, this case will be one of his toughest. Is the haunting real? Who did the murders? There is a lot on his plate and he is not doing okay. 

What a freakin' amazing cast. This series has done an amazing job of getting some pretty good folks to join. 

Ooo this was spooky and intense. I loved it!!!! Even if there isn't a ghost, that house is creepy AF. *shutters*

The big reveal was good. I had zero idea. I thought I did and I was partially right but the big reveal...damn. You got me there. 

I think what I love about these movies is that you can truly watch them in any order. Sure it is better to watch in order, but you can totally get away with watching them out of order. I do suggest maybe watching #2 before this one, but it's fine. It works!

All-in-all, I really enjoyed this. This would've been amazing to see on the big screen. Damn. 5 stars. Intense, spooky, and fun.
