idk, I guess I was going through my kindle alphabetically...
A Serial Killer's Guide to Marriage by Asia MacKay - Two serial killers who spent an extended honeymoon on a murder spree of dipshit men throughout Europe have settled down in the home counties with a baby and are trying to go cold turkey on the whole murder thing. If this sounds like it's just Mr and Mrs Smith but with serial killers then that's because it kind of is.
A Bluestocking's Guide to Decadence by Jess Everlee - Historical romance where a bookseller in a lavender marriage falls in love with the lady doctor she hires to take care of her husband's pregnant mistress.
Both of these were frothy, forgettable fun, but I think I'm going to branch out into a different naming convention.
Movies
Civil War - I actually saw this before I did my last movie roundup but I immediately forgot that I'd watched it, which is kind of a damning indictment of a film that seems to think that it has a lot to say.
Red Rooms - Excellent, tense French Canadian psychological thriller/horror about True Crime Brain set around the trial of a horrifying serial killer, that crucially for anything horror related, was not too scary for me.
Benedetta - You are a fifteenth century nun and you want to fuck a novice so bad that you start hallucinating transguy Jesus and commit heresy against Rome; someone is playing the dulcimer, Charlotte Rampling is here for some reason. Oh Paul Verhoven, never change.
Star Trek: Section 31 - Is this a good Star Trek movie? No, obviously not. But is it a fun Michelle Yeoh space romp? Also, no. It is Minimum Viable Product: the Movie.
