Monthly wrap-up posts will keep coming at the end of each month… hopefully I can keep up the reading like I did the past years… But I want to spend some time watching more movies and tv-shows (more than I did last year) so it’ll have to be a perfect balance between both I will need to find…

I wanted to mention one tv-show I finished this month, the final Netflix tv-show from Mike Flanagan, The Fall of the House of Usher, which is a retelling of several Edgar Allen Poe horror stories in a modern adaptation. Apart from what’s next to come, I have now seen all movies and tv-shows Flanagan has directed or been involved with.
