Books:

1. "Go Set A Watchman" by Harper Lee. An OK book that did not live up to the hype.
2. "Plain, Honest Men: The Making of the American Constitution" by Richard Beeman. Agan an OK book but I thing "The Summer of 1787" by David Stewart was better.
3. "Red Summer: The Summer of 1919 and the Awakening of Black America" by Cameron McWhirter. A book on the 1919 race riots that swept the U.S. The writing was OK, the subject was pretty interesting, and the information on the black leaders of the time was informative.

Movies:

1. "Mr. Holmes" This was my pick and I liked more than my boyfriend; he's not really the art film type. It portrays Holmes near the end of his life through the eyes of his housekeeper's son, who then helps him solve the one case that led to his retirement.
2. "Jurassic World" This was my boyfriends pick though I admit I liked it as well. Way better than Jurassic World 2 and 3 and almost as good as the original.
3. "Ted2" I cannot for the life of me imagine what we were thinking when we decided on this. Made it about half way through and we walked out. Unbelievably stupid.
