(After Steven Soderberg’s MEDIA LIST)
I recently mentioned how much TV I’ve been watching, and have become curious to know exactly what I’ve been watching (and listening to)—and where my time is going—so I’ve compiled this list for 2018 after seeing what Steven Soderberg did here (and whose link I found here).
I plucked the info from my Libby, CloudLibrary, and library accounts, our movie streaming services’ histories, and my 2018 planners.
I think I’ll just start a running MEDIA LIST for 2019 that’s laid out by month like this—for the sake of documentation. Putting this together has helped me clear my mind today.
