Recently, I decided it was time to get back into reading for myself. I went to Barnes & Noble with a friend and picked out three books, one of which was “Daisy Jones & the Six” by Taylor Jenkins Reid.

Invincible. A Must Watch Series.

Amazon Prime and other streaming services do an amazing job at one specific thing that I have noticed for the past few years, and that’s taking lesser-known comics and turning them into TV shows.
