Books/TV Thread

[bexincanada]

So we often chat about what we're watching/reading and have recommendations for each other but I find it gets buried in the other threads so post them here!!  Be sure to utilize the Spoiler/hidey things where necessary.

I'm not currently reading anything. I did just put holds on Amy Poehler and Abby Wambach's books.

I loved Amy Poehler's book!  I read it on a flight to New Zealand and was probably annoying my seatmates with my laughter.

I don't read nearly enough. 😔

TV Shows I LOVE are

Dancing with the Stars - the pros are truly talented, and it's really fun to watch.

Shameless- Emmy Rossum is in it, it's a funny show but it also has some pretty raw real emotion to it, I watch on Netflix.

I LOVED 11.22.63 on Hulu, it was based off of a Stephen King book but it's not really scary. The story line was amazing, and the history in it was great too. I couldn't recommend it more.

Recent Reads:
- The Little Old Lady Who Broke All The Rules. This was a cute and funny book, highly recommended.

- Avenue of Mysteries by John Irving. Not his best, but good writing like all his books.

- Echoes From The Dead. I picked this one up randomly at the library when they had a display of Swedish suspense novels. It was amazing!!! Fast moving suspense with short chapters, great with a little one.

Possibly The New Neighbor? It was great also.

bexincanada, Could be I really can't remember.

For TV shows, CET likes to watch TV more than me. But let's see, we've watched-
The Good Wife, About a Boy (my favorite), New Girl, Modern Family, Nurse Jackie (before it got too intense for me), and now CET is watching Homeland. CET also likes Bones, Park and Rec, The Big Bang Theory, and How I Met Your Mother. We don't have cable so all this is on Netflix or Hulu.

Stuff we watch regularly:

Big Bang Theory
Grey's Anatomy (yes, I know...)
Scandal
Shameless
Masters of $ex
Grace and Frankie
Transparent
Orange is the...
Daily Show

We just watched This is Us and really liked it.

We have all of the Premium channels (we shouldn't) so we are up to date with all of the shows. L watches a bunch more shows that I don't follow. The only thing I watch that she doesn't, is The Fosters.


I've been reading any lesbian romance novel that is free with Kindle Unlimited. I hate to pay for books.

[rosesquared]

Are any of the lesbian romance novels good?

I'll say there have been some entertaining stuff - but nothing wonderfully written. It is all pretty basic - but fast quick reads. I've read all of the stuff by Susie Carr, Eliza Lentzski, MJ Duncan, Lily Mason...and some others. Seeking Sara Summers was decently written (but it wasn't free.) If You Could be Mine and the Miseducation of Cameron Post are both YA books, but well written.

Everybody needs to watch Galavant. Right now.

Watching Grace and Frankie - love it!!!!!

Isn't it great? We laughed so much when we watched it.

Has anyone been watching This Is Us? I haven't watched a season of a show in years, but this one has grabbed me. I found myself thinking of the characters at work today! Anyone else liking it?

[cetcar]

calsurb, We've watched several episodes. It's pretty good so far, but I'm not sure it's sucking us in as much as some have. We're looking around for new shows we both want to watch. We've tried and liked Speechless.

Yes, we love it! I haven't watched this week yet, but so good. We also LOVED Parenthood and were so sad when it was taken off the air.

I read Abby's memoir and then Glennon Doyle Milton's memoir since they're now dating. They both have a lot to say about vices and secrets.
