Movies and Books 2017

I saw that Steven Soderbergh creates a list at the beginning of every new year of all media/entertainment he's consumed throughout the past year. I loved this idea and did it in 2017 making notes on every film I watched, book I read or listened to and television season completed.

My rules were that ,with movies I had to watch them from beginning to end, no partials made the list. TV had to be the complete season, no single episodes. Books had to be finished completely. Both audible and print books were allowed. I drive a lot during the week so Amazon Audible is my favorite new platform.

I know I'm a few months delayed on putting this list out there but I didn't have a solid arena to post it. Enter Steemit. Let's get to it...
