Last year was my first Hooptober. My husband and I were doing it together, but he wound up working nights in October so we had trouble finding time to watch movies together. We would watch about an hour of a movie together when he woke up in the afternoon/on my lunch break. I would finish the movie in the evening, then put it back to where we left off and he would finish it in the morning when he got home.
We met all the criteria so technically finished, but we used movies for multiple categories so didn't get to 31.
This year I'm hoping we can watch all of them together!
