In the evening Esme and I watched Gangster Squad. I had the feeling we had seen the movie before. I liked the movie and rate it a 7 out of 10.

In the evening Esme and I watched Striking Distance. The movie was OK and I rate it a 6 out of 10.
Sigrud je Harkvaldsson doesn’t waste his time contemplating vanquished gods or divine mysteries. He understands one code—loyalty—and speaks one language. Revenge.
So when he learns that his oldest friend and ally, former Prime Minister Shara Komayd, has been assassinated, he knows exactly what to do—and that no mortal force can stop him from meting out the suffering Shara’s killers deserve.
Yet as Sigrud pursues his quarry with his customary terrifying efficiency, he begins to fear that this battle is an unwinnable one. Because discovering the truth behind Shara’s death will require him to take up arms in a secret, decades-long war, face down an angry young god, and unravel the last mysteries of Bulikov, the city of miracles itself. And—perhaps most daunting of all—finally face the truth about his own cursed existence.

In the afternoon I finished City of Blades, The Divine Cities Book 2 by Robert Jackson Bennett. While the book was not as good as the previous one in the series I still liked it.

In the evening Esme and I watched Failure to Launch. Jaiden was also in the living room with Lina, our cat, resting on her lap. She was not really watching the movie with us, but enjoying the moment of the cat sitting with her.
The movie was OK and I rate it a 6 out of 10.
