I’ve mentioned this before, but Wondermajica is not just a book blog; it’s a blog that features book reviews and other content I enjoy. To reinforce that, I’m expanding my wrap-ups beyond just reading. Now, I’ll also be sharing what I’ve been watching!
I don’t have any set goals for TV, but for movies, I’m attempting the 2025 Criterion Challenge. Here’s a look at what I watched during the first three months of the year:
January:

I have always tracked my movies, but I am enjoying adding TV this year. I think it gives me a better idea of what kind of mood I was in as my tastes change month to month. What about you? Have you seen any of these? What did you think? Do you track what you watch?
