Not sure how to make it fun, (yet!), but we will see! I think maybe when I can look back at what's there? If I can at least make it a habit, might go smoother!

I didn't take movies I saw on the small screen for the first time into consideration when I made my list. This year, I'll attempt to track things (we'll see how long that lasts!), so I might actually know what I watched on netflix and amazon. :-DDKorenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05819702518388146971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881774.post-62956173791893896902019-01-01T12:37:15.299-05:002019-01-01T12:37:15.299-05:00How to Train Your Dragon & Solo, yassss!! :D

I'd seen 1, and 7 before this year, but I am sort of counting HtTYD as a new-to-me because the first time I watched it (near when it came out), I did not like it at all. I don't even know why. But, this year I have watched it so many times that I now love it! I can't wait for #3 in Feb.!
