I’m in awe of all the beautifully packaged 2017 recaps. I can’t quite keep up with the month by month break downs and such, but here’s what I can give you. 17 things that happened in 2017:
- Sledding in Liberty Park
2. Enjoyed a burger at a VIP Hires party
3. Read some books
- Seance, John Hardwood
- Turtles All the Way Down, John Green
- When Breath Becomes Air, Paul Kalanithi
- Madam, Will You Talk?, Mary Stewart
- A Wrinkle in Time, Madeleine L’ Engle
- Ready Player One, Ernest Cline
- Once and for All, Sarah Dessen
- Maybe in Another Life, Taylor Jenkins Reid
- Idaho, Emily Ruskovich
- A Man Called Ove, Fredrik Backman
- The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry, Gabrielle Zevin
- Snotgirl, Bryan O’Malley and Leslie Hung
- iZombie Vol 1: Dead to the World, Chris Roberson and Michael Allred
4. Saw a few Sundance movies
5. Marched for Refugees
6. Continued to pitch ideas, including:
- Numerous Christmas rom com plots – Hallmark & Lifetime call me!!
- Bachelor Dad – The same process/living situation/activities as the bachelor, but instead of women living at the mansion it’s all of their dads and the bachelor must pick a spouse based on his rapport with the Dad.
- Unimportant Elf theory – The nun Buddy’s dad takes books away from during his opening scene if in fact the same nun that put’s Buddy in his crib at the beginning of the movie. The orphanage is in financial ruins because they once LOST A BABY. Also, note this theory has no bearing on plot and would not change anything.
