I think Funny Story is my fav EmHen since Beach Read. And you're right, it really does have a 2000s rom com vibe in the best way!

I also enjoyed this season of White Lotus too. I hear you on the "action moment" though I did find it a fitting to the main theme of the show so I didn't mind it. Parker Posey's character was AMAZING! And she totally made the role.

I've never seen a single Mission Impossible 🙈

I'm currently watching The Pitt. It's surprisingly captivating. It reminds me of the heydays of ER and Grey's in the best way. Very dramatic, very watchable.

Everyone seems to be loving The Pitt and I'm sure I'd like it, but I'm not in the mood for a medical drama right now, I'm watching St Denis Medical instead, which is hilarious haha Mission Impossible is soo good if you love action films, they're really entertaining. I haven't read Beach Read yet!!! Will do soon I hope! 🥰

I'm glad you enjoyed Funny Story as well! It's probably one of my favorites by her.

I definitely have books by both of those authors on my TBR, although I'm not entirely sure which ones 😂 it's a shame to hear that you weren't convinced by the villians motivation in the thriller but in general it sounds intriguing. I'm very curious about the Henry one though. Atm I'm leaning towards trying Book Lovers first but as a fellow enemies to lovers fan in general I'm intrigued to meet Miles and see how he won you over regardless 😂

I haven't seen any of the same things as you so can't really comment. I'm glad you enjoyed them all though.

Ooh I'll have to watch the Mission Impossible trailer. I think I've only seen the last film 🙈 I did really enjoy it though. I just majorly need to start playing catch up.

I also hope you enjoy your holiday days.

Lol thanks for the advice. I did try watching the first once but couldn't quite get into it at the time. I'm still hopeful that it was a mood thing though.

The first episode of the new black mirror season just blew my mind.

i’m always happy to see funny story get some love since i’m the biggest emily henry fan. we have the same feelings about white lotus—i liked the season and how it wrapped up, but the ending didn’t land the way i wanted it to

The ending of s2 was so explosive (and lowkey fun despite of the death), this one made me sad and I didn't really like it. But really enjoyed the season overall!

Ooh, thank you. I just watched the trailer for Mission Impossible, and I can't wait! I loved The Marlow Murder Club, too. Black Bag is on my radar to watch. I am still reading in between all this viewing! :-)
