Hey my lovely Chameleons. In today's blog I am going to be doing my Top 10 Of 2020 blog. I got this request from one of my favourite people ever. Shania Fillmore. After Shania requested this idea I quickly opened my notepad on my phone and made a list during the rest of last year, with my favourite shows, movies and my favourite CDs/EPs of 2020.
This will be along blog. The reason why is for the shows and movies, I will explain them. I will not say the cast or how I became a fan. Most of the shows and movies I have not finished cause I am very bad at pausing the show/movie and not coming back to it. Most of these movies are from Netflix, Disney+, Crave, and Amazon Prime due to Covid.
