Uncut Gems (2019)

With his debts mounting and angry collectors closing in, a fast-talking New York City jeweler risks everything in hope of staying afloat and alive.

In the evening Esme and I watched Uncut Gems. It was a very noisy, loud, and chaotic movie. I give it a 6 out of 10.

Focus (2015)

In the midst of veteran con man Nicky's latest scheme, a woman from his past - now an accomplished femme fatale - shows up and throws his plans for a loop.

In the evening Esme and I watched Focus. I liked the movie and give it a 7 out of 10.

Life of the Party (2018)

After her husband abruptly asks for a divorce, a middle-aged mother returns to college in order to complete her degree.

In the evening Alice, Esme, and I watched Life of the Party. I think the movie was OK and I give it a 6 out of 10.

Identity Thief (2013)

Mild mannered businessman Sandy Patterson travels from Denver to Florida to confront the deceptively harmless looking woman who has been living it up after stealing Sandy's identity.

Still sick, I started to watch Identity Thief in the late morning. I had seen this movie before and recalled it to be more funnier. I give it a 6 out of 10.

Sunbringer: OK

In the afternoon I finished Sunbringer, Fallen Gods Book 2 by Hannah Kaner. I liked this book less than the previous one in the series. But it had a good ending, so overall OK.

Faithbreaker

War has come. The fire god Hseth is leading an unstoppable army south, consuming everything in her path. Middren’s only hope of survival is to unify allies and old foes against a common enemy.

Elo navigates an uneasy alliance with Arren; his friend, his enemy, and his king. Now they each must decide how much they're willing to sacrifice to turn the tides of war.

Meanwhile, Inara joins her mother on their ship, the Silverswift, to seek aid. Still grappling with her powers, Inara must reconcile who she is and where she belongs, while Skediceth has to question if their bond will be enough to keep them safe.

Kissen has no allegiance to the old ways of Middren. But, as she tries to find her family, she is forced to question what, and whose, future she is fighting for.

In the evening I started in Faithbreaker, the final book in the Fallen Gods trilogy by Hannah Kaner.
