The BoMoSh January

Welcome to the BoMoSh!

If you missed last month’s post, then in short, the BoMoSh is a new post for Books, Movies and Shows. I’ll be sharing what I’ve read and seen in the last month, and I always welcome suggestions for books, shows and movies. Leave me a comment if you think there’s something that I might enjoy.


Books | 6

  • A Court of Thorns and Roses, by Sarah J Maas
  • Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief, by Rick Roirdan
  • Girls of Paper and Fire, by Natasha Ngan
  • On the Come Up, by Angie Thomas
  • Norse Nythology: BBC 4 Dramatised edition, by Neil Gaiman
  • Mosquitoland, by David Arnold

A decent amount of reading happened this month. The Norse Mythology one, however, was a dramatised, short version of Neil Gaiman’s full novel, but it’s still listed on Goodreads so I’ve decided to include it. It was about 1.5 hours and you can find it on Amazon. It was very good!


Movies | 1

  • Aquaman (2018)

Literally one on movie this month. Aquaman was pretty decent; an enjoyable superhero movie, despite the absolutly ridiculous name.


Shows

Two new shows came out this past month that I’ve started watching: The Passage, which is based on Justin Cronin’s book by the same name, and the remake of Roswell (which is now called Roswell: New Mexico). I’m always adamant that you shouldn’t remake shows when they were perfectly fine to begin with (I binge watched Roswell one summer in my early Uni years), but so far I think they’ve changed enough to the story line that it might be okay. I’m only two episodes in, and other than the main premise, a lot is different. We’ll see how we go! Let me know if you’ve seen it!
