Weekly Wrap Up 16th – 22nd March

This week was a really productive week I mean it was partly due to the fact I was on holiday but I finished two books and started to read lots of others. I  watched a lot of TV shows and started a few that I am really enjoying and raving about to my friends. I did make a dent in watching and reviewing some of the films in my DVD collection which was a bit of a nostalgia route with some. I read some magazines and finally listened to a podcast oh it has been too long.

So here is the list:

Films

The Amazing Spider-Man
