Thanks Andrea, I'll add it on my list to watch.

My Favourite...
1. Time of Day: Whenever I get alone time to unwind so usually early morning or late night
2. Food: My go-to is usually lasagne, but I also love all kinds of pastries
3. Drink (alcoholic or non-alcoholic): Pretty much any drink with crushed ice. Hot chocolate is good too
4. Band/singer: Don't really listen to music. I have favourite songs from time to time. I guess my go-to would be Panic at the Disco
5. Actor: Julianne Moore, Gillian Anderson etc.
6. Spot in Australia: Outside - at a quiet beach or somewhere quiet near moving water e.g. a park with a fountain. Inside - library.
7. Team/Sport: Not a big sports fan. I like watching ice skating and swimming on occasion
8. Car: Electric
9. Animal: Cat, but I like animals in general.
10. Activity: Playing video games, doing jigsaw puzzles, crafts
11. Things to collect: I don't collect things because I worry I'll end up with a problem haha

There's a Netflix adaptation (8 ep miniseries) for The One by John Marrs out today. I have yet to read the book but it's a sci-fi thriller about being able to find "The One" based on dna.

Has anyone watched or is thinking of watching the adaption of Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng? I read the book and it was okay, have heard the adaptation is great though.

After watching the movie, I knew I had to read Crazy Rich Asians. The movie was enjoyable but not deep enough for me, kind of like a cliche romcom between a rich guy and lower-middle class girl with the guy's family having issues with accepting the girl because she's not good enough. A lot of characters. Short chapters are great, and they're from many different perspectives. I appreciate the footnotes with translations and extra info for what things mean in context. Really enjoying this more than the movie.

Bit of variety here. In no particular order:

- Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo as well as its sequel, Crooked Kingdom
- Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn
- Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli
- Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty
- Turtles All the Way Down by John Green
- To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han
- Watchmen by Alan Moore
- The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman
