My mamaw started a tradition of giving me a John Grisham book every Christmas. After she died, my parents kept it going. Grisham releases about one book a year, so I’ve got them all in my collection. Just got The Widow last Christmas and I can’t wait to read it. Such a special tradition to continue.

Ultimately, they teach us to return to one religion: peace, love, kindness, and compassion.” - Bhikkhu Pannakara

How could I miss?! It is a TV series from 2015! Last night, I watched: Jekyll and Hyde S1E1, The Harbinger.🍿 It was interesting, and I will watch the rest of the season.

Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, a novella by Robert L. Stevenson, published in 1886, is a fascinating story, indeed!

I am indeed curious what Obsession is about… Hmm. I will be sure to watch for a new trailer!

Saw Primate & loved seeing Troy Kotsur! Great deaf representation. Intense movie. Random word stuck with me: Hydrophobia, though not 100% medically accurate. Won’t explain—spoilers—but watch it and you’ll see. Pretty clever how they used it in the story. Trailer: youtu.be/wo87F-va4…
