Thanks to recent travels and a boom in Season finales and season premiers, there’s a lot to discuss here this month…
Books
Veronica Mars: The Thousand Dollar Tan Line– I’m not saying this is high art, BUT if you’re a fan of the TV show (and maybe backed the movie and went on opening day…) then you’ll love the book. It reads just like an episode of the show, and does a good job of making sure new to the world folks know who’s who. A very fun airplane read last week!
The Fifth Wave– I’m still reading this book and really enjoying it. They jump around through a few characters dealing with a post apocalyptic kind of world. My dad claims it’s his favorite YA Post-apocalypse book after The Hunger Games…I’m sold!
Music
Nickel Creek – wow I didn’t realize how much I missed this band! I saw them in concert years ago, and loved their previous release. Their new album A Dotted Line is pretty fantastic great work music.
I still can’t get enough of the new Pharrel album and every time I hear Fitz and the Tantrums I like them more and more…
TV
The Americans- good grief this show is great. You need to be watching it. I’m loving this season!
Mad Men – It’s Back! While some are complaining that they don’t care about the office drama, I trust Matt Weiner that as with every other season, this will end up that every random thing we see has its place.
Game of Thrones- This season is off to a great start! The final scene in Episode 2 did exactly what you always want a show to do, but they won’t do. It’s pretty fantastic. My only request? More dragons!
Parks & Rec- Hands down my favorite show on TV. I like the pregnancy twist this season, triplets are a little unnecessary, but I’m curious for the season finale this week that includes Michelle Obama and my bet is that job in Chicago comes back into play…
Alright- what’s are you reading, listening to and watching this month? The sunshine on Easter made for a great excuse to sit outside and read, I’m looking forward to summer!
