I seriously hate that Bosch's daughter calls him by his first name!

I didn't even like that my ex called my parents by their first names (I called his parents "mom" and "dad").

Discovery of Witches is on AMC Plus."

Ah. I don't have that one.

LOL! It's because they try to cram all of their best ideas in one season and then fizzle out!

I'm not familiar with Discovery of Witches, though.

Eureka (and Warehouse 13) are awesome shows!

MitB is on Hulu, correct?

I may give it a go after I catch up on some of my other shows.

How is Only Murders in the Building?

I decided to see what was on Prime, and I am now sucked into Bosch! LOL. I watched 4 or 5 episodes last night and woke up late this morning. SMH I first watched it a few years ago, but I don't remember much.

I stopped watching NCIS shortly after Abby left. My heart wasn't in to show anymore. I have considered going back (picking up around season 13 or 14 after Dinozzo left) but haven't been inclined to do so, yet.
I'm sure the show is weird as hell without Gibbs.

sounds like you got a great deal! :D

Enjoy!!

Sadly, the annual subscription for Britbox is going up by $10, and Amazon Prime is up by $20!

I tried that last year, I think (could have been 2020 - I'm not sure). I watched all of the Original series and then maybe 2 or 3 of the movies.

I think I stopped because I couldn't watch the other movies without paying for them.

I've started watching Agatha Christie's Marple and I prefer it to Agatha Christie's Poirot. Although, I am also currently reading The Mysterious Affair at Styles: A Hercule Poirot Mystery which I am enjoying so far.

I might have to go back to watching Poirot so that I can see how they handle this story in particular.

I did consider reading the shortest one first, but not the lowest rated one...interesting.

I'll have to see which one that is. Thanks :)

I am a mess - reading-wise. I have started all of the books I hope to read this month. They are all pretty good so far. But, I can't seem to concentrate on one over the other. On the other hand, switching back and forth is no fun either. It pulls you out of the story and by the time you make your way back in you've lost concentration again.
UGH!!!!!!
I don't know what to do.

Congratulations on having a great month!
Good luck with all of your upcoming reads! :)

That's awesome! Congrats!"

Thank you! :)

Today is my 250th reading day in a row!! :)

When I first started listening to the AOS series, I would download the entire list, listen to all of them, and then return all of them at the same time. Now, I download one story, listen to it, and return it as soon as I'm done.

Re: Disorder
Go ahead and read/listen to the last story. You might enjoy it more than I did. It wasn't bad. I just didn't care (which sounds more callous than intended).

Re: Silent Witness
The theme song sounds as though you're watching a religious or paranormal series. Yes, it's forensics (i.e. dealing with the dead), but there is nothing otherworldly about it.

So I finished reading A Traitor's War late last night. Great entry in the Metaframe series. Better than the first book!

And today, I completed the AOS Disroder stories.
The last two stories were okay. I feel indifferent towards both of them.

Now, I'm going to continue watching a series I started last week ( I think). Its a British police/forensics procedural called Silent Witness.
Interesting show, but horrible theme song (not suited to the show at all)!

Later today/tonight, I'm going to start reading Luna: New Moon.

Hi, Christa! :)

I don't think the book page has changed on my browser yet. Or maybe, I just don't notice anything different.

I just completed Wintersteel a few minutes ago, and finished The Garden of Bewitchment on Friday.

Up next are A Traitor's War (I read a few pages today) and Luna: New Moon,

I'm currently reading Wintersteel and The Garden of Bewitchment.

Both are speculative fiction but on opposite ends of the spectrum. I'm finding that pairing a horror novel with something non-horror helps me get through the former. I want to test how audio plays a role but TGoB does not have an audiobook version.
My guess is if it is a simple narration, then that would be good, but if it's a full-on production (background/ambient noises and music) it will be just as bad for me as watching a horror movie - its usually the music that scares the bejesus out of me.

I hope you enjoy your reads. Stay Safe!!
