January 2026

I’m trying out doing monthly roundups of the books I’ve read and movies that I’ve watched. Who knows if this is something that I keep doing long-term but I will try at least for a few months. I also retroactively wrote up a roundup for december of 2025.

Books completed

I set myself a goal of reading 24 books this year. One month in and I’m already a quarter of the way there! I started reading Matt Dinniman’s Dungeon Crawler Carl series and got hooked pretty quickly. I expect I’ll be caught up with the series before the end of next month. I would definitely recommend it based on what I’ve read so far, and I hear it only gets better as you go.

Movies watched

Lots of movies this month, too. Quite a few of them were rewatches, but I also watched a number of other movies that I would definitely see myself watching again in the future. Send Help was probably the biggest surprise for me this month. It surpassed my expectations.
