Year of Entertainment: TV and Books

Is it really 2014? Another year has been swept away into the wide expanse of time to usher in a great new year full of numberless possibilities. What a good feeling! Another good feeling is noting all the great TV shows and books I feasted upon last year. As an account, I list them here. Hopefully, you see some that will capture your attention to watch or read!

TV Shows:

• Switched at Birth seasons 1-2
• Touch season 1
• Doctor Who season 7
• Psych seasons 1-6
• Lie to Me seasons 1-3
• Fringe (I have 6 episodes left and I done. Love this show!)

Books: note - bold titles are my favorite reads of the year

• The Last Guardian (Artemis Fowl) by Eoin Colfer
• Wings by Aprilynn Pike
• So Yesterday by Scott Westerfeld
• The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
• The Year of Living Biblically: One Man's Humble Quest to Follow the Bible As Literally As Possible by A.J. Jacobs
• Angelopolis by Danielle Trussoni
• Until I Die (Revnenants) by Amy Plum
• The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate
• The Goddess Inheritance (Goddess Test) by Aimee Carter
• If I Should Die (Revenants) by Amy Plum
• The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
• Arise (Hereafter) by Tara Hudson
• Inferno by Dan Brown
• Imaginary Girls by Nova Ren Suma
• Spells (Wings) by Aprilynne Pike
• Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs
• The Chaos of Stars by Kiersten White
• Cinder  (Lunar Chronicles) by Marissa Meyer
• Illusions (Wings) by Aprilynne Pike
• Scarlet (Lunar Chronicles) by Marissa Meyer
• Half-Moon Investigations by Eoin Colfer
• The Supernaturalist by Eoin Colfer
• Destined (Wings) by Aprilynn Pike

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?

Psych Psych Psych

Hey folks, I totally forgot to prepare a post for yesterday. Sorry. *shakes head at self* Is that even possible?

 

Any who, if you know me, you'll know that I like TV shows. They are my way to relax and laugh and get out of my head for a while. 

 

My current TV addiction is Psych. There could be worse addictions. Well, yes, there are, indeed. :D

 

This show is pretty much brilliant. It is quirky, imaginative, clever, hilarious, and has a cute actor in it (James Roday). *Sigh*

 

I love that he, Shawn Spencer, is only a super observant person, but he fakes like he is a psychic to solve crimes for the local police department. Amazing premise, eh?

 

The writers have developed a smash hit of a program with delightful characters and entertaining stories while weaving classic 80's movies, television shows, and music throughout. I can't believe it took me this long to get hooked on Psych.

 

Have you ever watched Psych? Do you like it? Are you a TV buff?

 

Hugs
