Through my journey with the written word this year, I have found a new favorite author--that being Marissa Meyer, author of The Lunar Chronicles series. She blew me away with her retelling of Cinderella and Little Red Riding Hood stories. Her writing style is unique and simply amazing. Out of all the books I read last year, I'd recommend hers the most. Oh, I can't wait for the next two books to be released. The dates won't come fast enough. The first two books covers are fantastic, huh?
And of course, TV-wise, I'd recommend Psych for sure, but if you enjoy some good sci-fi, then check out Fringe.
What are some of your favorite reads and watches from 2013? Have you read or seen any of the TV shows or books I listed above? Are you as much of a TV and book junky as me?

I admit I love TV usually more than movies. I like hanging out with my favorite characters week after week. This year I did try Switched at Birth which I enjoyed for the first half of the first season. Love Psych and have always wanted to try Fringe. Favorite books this year....my favorite books Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand and Roots by Alex Haley
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on liking TV more than movies. You should most definitely watch Fringe. I think you'd like it. If only we could watch shows together liked we did when we were roomies. I will have to check out those books. Hugs
DeletePsych is awesome! Probably in its last season right now, but it had an awesome run.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
Psych and Fringe both great shows. Happy New Year
ReplyDeleteI've hear Night Circus is fantastic, and Psych is always a winner! :)
ReplyDeleteI've read many of those books! Glad to see your favorites. Great lists!
ReplyDeleteI'm not much of a reader, but I'm changing that situation this year. I've started off with Don Quixote, and I'll see what happens after that.
ReplyDeleteWe almost never watch tv, but I'm going to try to get dvds for The Newsroom. It seems like such an interesting series.
Best for 2014. Blessings and Bear hugs, too!
