City of Miracles: Very Good
In the late afternoon I finished City of Miracles, The Divine Cities Book 3 by Robert Jackson Bennett. I liked this book a lot, especially the fight scene about halfway. Of the three books I consider this one the best.
Dumplin' (2018)
Willowdean ("Dumplin'"), the plus-size teenage daughter of a former beauty queen, signs up for her mom's Miss Teen Bluebonnet pageant as a protest that escalates when other contestants follow her footsteps, revolutionizing the pageant and their small Texas town.
In the evening Esme and I watched Dumplin'. The movie was OK and I rate it a 6 out of 10.
In the Shadow of the Moon (2019)
A Philadelphia police officer struggles with a lifelong obsession to track down a mysterious serial killer whose crimes defy explanation.
In the evening Esme and I watched In the Shadow of the Moon. I was sure I had seen the movie before. Later on, Esme agreed. She fell asleep halfway. I liked the rewatch and rate the movie a 7 out of 10.
Roommates (2026)
When a hopeful, naive college freshman, Devon, asks the cool and confident Celeste to be her roommate, a blossoming friendship spirals into a war of passive aggression.
In the evening Esme and I watched Roommates. The movie was OK and I rate it a 6 out of 10.
