I’m so far behind on what’s happening with books, movies, television shows and music (and doubtless many other things I don’t know I’m behind on).
I’m ushering out the year with some “best of” lists. If I have a little extra time in 2019, I can reference my lists to find something fun to watch, read or listen to.
Here are my lists. If you’re also behind on any of these categories, bookmark this post and you’ll be able to look up recommendations for 2018’s entertainment.
