2018 media year in review

(New to me) books read: 40

Highlights: anything by Dava Sobell (history of science), The Mapmaker's Wife--Robert Whitaker (similar genre, exploration and survival in 1700s South America), A Man Without Words--Susan Schaller (linguistics case study), Electric October--Kevin Cook (1947 World Series, biographies spanning before and after of the little-known players who made big impacts), The Management Style of the Supreme Beings--Tom Holt (humorous fantasy, religious themes).

(New to me) TV shows watched: 4
Complete seasons: one, Stranger Things 2. I liked it! Including the polarizing Chicago episode.

(New to me) movies seen: 6.5, I wasn't watching or paying attention to all of "Springsteen on Broadway" but I'd probably recommend it over any of the 6...
