Lady In The Lake sounds like an excellent series to watch. However, I don’t get Apple TV. Have a wonderful day, Jodie 😊

I have Prime and Netflix and won’t be getting anything else, I have so many series started on those two already, but there are some great things on Apple TV. I am now on the loonnnggg list for the audiobooks of The Summer Pact and A Novel Love Story. I hope it moves quickly, but I have lots to read and listen to in the meantime. I hope you had a great week, Jodie.

I have both of those too Carla and also Crave. I pick up Apple TV for a month or two when there are several things I want to watch.
