Almost 390 pages later and way too late in the night...

That's Ilona for you! LOL!

Hey, Network Execs, I've finished my pilot for Big Bang Theory:
Big Bang Theory - Pilot.

I'm a completionist, so I'll take the full season one, please! Otherwise, I'll go with Binge Watcher? LOL

My hubby didn't like it and didn't want to watch it until I showed him the Fold in the Cheese episode. After that, he watched the rest with me and ended up loving it.

That I need happy sexy things in my brain to cope with reality? LOL Or that I'm a sucker for a sexy man on the cover?

I'll try Big Bang Theory.

Thanks!

I'll start with Grimm & Schitt's Creek"

YASSSS my favorite show! Schitt's Creek, that is :D

To make it fair, I'll read a few of the ones you recommend this year as well. So give me a handful :)

Nah. Just prepare yourself for reading some of my absolute favorites!!! :D :D :D

Sonia wrote: "*mumbles* he had to start with Darryl Banner...."

You'd better be careful or your next five will be me being pushy. :P

Sounds great.

How about we start with... the Spruce Texas books by Darryl Banner? :D

There are 5, and I believe they're all on Kindle Unlimited.

I'm working on reading them now, as I've only read #1 and #3 (It's killing me that I am reading them out of order LOL!)... reading #5 now because I started it thinking it was #4 and then realized I never read #2.

You should get through them quickly! :)

What's your solution? :P

I'm not mad. I'm not surprised either LOL

What kind of problem???

Jenny wrote: "Not new to the Pendergast world, just new to the leading a series of books new. I like them as a team."

Yeah they have some interesting interactions. I didn't like their weird rivalry/animosity in the first book. But halfway through this one, I'm starting to see some grudging respect. :D

Jenny wrote: "Steven, I am soooooo jealous I can't stand it!!!!!

Also, so glad it is good. I like the new protagonists."

They're not really all that new if you've read the Pendergast series. But I love Nora and Corrie. :)
