A quick catch up – misfits, puzzles and sand
There’s no ‘midpoint’ movie roundup this month because I haven’t seen that many so far. Instead I’ve been spending my time watching TV shows, doing jigsaws and listening to the audio version of Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman.
My first 6 Netflix/Marvel TV shows
A relatively spoiler-free ramble about the first six Marvel series on Netflix: Daredevil (seasons 1 and 2), Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and The Defenders.

Philip K Dick – Humpty Dumpty in Oakland
Humpty Dumpty in Oakland is another one of Philip K Dick’s non-science fiction books. It was written in 1960, but not published until 1986, posthumously.
