And loved it. And wanted to see it again.)<\/li>\n<li><em>Charlie&#8217;s Angels<\/em> (We missed it when it was in the theaters last fall, probably due to my volleyball schedule. I know it got terrible reviews. Probably I would have watched it anyway.)<\/li>\n<li><em>Veronica Mars: Season 1<\/em> (This is the new tv show. No, we didn&#8217;t watch the original tv show and the series is old enough that our library system has all the seasons broken up into multiple dvds, so you can&#8217;t really request them and instead have to wander around the various branches searching out the discs you need. We understand the overall concept, if not all the nuance.)<\/li>\n<li><em>Frankie Drake Mysteries. The complete second season<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The Goldfinch<\/em> (Honestly, even the preview for this movie made me anxious, but I still wanted to watch it. I just might not have picked it up right now if it hadn&#8217;t already been on hold for me.)<\/li>\n<li><em>Brooklyn Nine-Nine: Season 5<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Nonfiction<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Sheet Pan Suppers Meatless<\/em> by Raquel Pelzel<\/li>\n<li><em>Great British Bake Off &#8212; Bake It Better.

Apparently it&#8217;ll be mine for at least one more.)<\/li>\n<li><em>Dreyer&#8217;s English<\/em> by Benjamin Dreyer (This has also been checked out to me for a while, but I haven&#8217;t started it.
