I am sure you all will be a bit confused why the February Copyright Reads are coming out now (2 weeks into March) rather than in February, well, unfortunately for me I caught a very bad viral infection which sent me to bed for 3 weeks. I can tell you that was not fun. I mean I watched a huge amount of shows. Sanditon<\/a><\/em> was not as bad as I thought, and Red Eye<\/a> <\/em>Season 1 was better than Season 2, but still entertaining enough for someone trapped in bed by a viral infection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
