First, favorite movies:
First, I pick.............Solo (2018)

Carole picks is...................Tag (2018(



"Had some good choices this month to pick from. I'll have to say this one because it surprised me in a great way! A good story and funny!" 



Next, Book favorites:
Carole's choice is............When Dimple Met Rishi by Sandhya Menon



"There were some okay books and some even good, but nothing was as good as this one. I listened to the audio version, but I really think even if you read it it will be just as good."



Next, lol, my choice is..............When Dimple Met Rishi by Sandhya Menon





"Here I thought June was a great month, but when I check GR it seems it was only a good month, so thank goodness for When DImple met Rishi then!"
