I grew up without a TV, which meant as a kid I spent a lot of time reading. We’d go to the library with big paper bags and leave with them full. My love for reading waned a little in college, when I had so much required reading that I got burned out. Now that I’m out of school, I’ve been trying to read a bit more, and I’m feeling that old love resurge. There’s something about getting lost in a book that is so relaxing! But reading is a solo activity (for the most part), so I also really love being able to cuddle with Ben and watch a movie or a good TV show together. Here are some of the books, movies, and shows that I’ve enjoyed lately, as well as some that I’m looking forward to. What have you been reading and watching? Any recommendations for me?
My recent favorites: 1. The Perfectly Imperfect Home
On my list: 1. The Luminous Portrait

Ooo I just won a giveaway for the Decor Book by Holly becker so I can't wait! Wasn't Safety not guaranteed a cute movie!!! I too can't wait for Perks of being a wallflower to come out on DVD...I missed it in the theaters! =)
That’s so awesome! You will love it. She includes quite a few pictures of her own house, which is so inspiring. And I can’t wait for it to come out on DVD either! I’ve heard good things.
I LOVE white collar! Tell me, is season four available to watch yet? I've been hoping and hoping to see it.
PS. i hear that reading the abridged version of les mis is a great idea. My sis says the long version just has nonsense added to make the book longer.
Good to know! I think I’ve read it before (like in high school?) but I can’t remember much about it. Maybe I didn’t actually read it, maybe I just saw the play. Anyways, I know the storyline in general, but I don’t remember all the details.
And we followed season 4 of White Collar as it was actually playing on TV...so I’m not sure if it’s available anywhere. It doesn’t look like Netflix has it yet. Hopefully soon!!
I can't wait to see Les Mis! Ahhhh no one wants to go with me. I wish I lived closer so you, me and Jenn could go together :)
The Scarlet Thread by Francine Rivers is on my to-read list! I love Redeeming Love by her, have you read that one?
Aww, that would be super fun! I’m probably going to wait for it to come out on DVD. I don’t Ben wants to go to it either...
And yes, I’ve read Redeeming Love! That was the first one I read by her. I think you may have told me about it to begin with, actually. Love that book!
1. Absolutely love White Collar!! Can't wait for next week!!
2. Have you watched the BBC mini series called Sherlock, episodes are 90 minutes each, kind of like mini-movies. Matt and Jenn got us watching those.
3. I'm reading Blog Inc right now, has some really interesting points... need to finish it.
4. I've also tried reading the unabridged version of Les Mis and man, talk about trouble getting to the point. Maybe we should all get together and watch Les Mis when it comes out on DVD? Girl's movie night would be fun!
Haha, sorry for the long comment!
I haven’t seen the Sherlock series, but I’ve heard about it too! It sounds up our alley. And yes, girl’s movie night sounds PERFECT!
I recommend the ABRIDGED version of Les Mis. Hugo is great, but a little windy. :)
I have the 'Making Your House A Home' book and absolutely adore it, it's been incredibly helpful with some layout issues I was having and been a great resource when it comes to colour and painting (currently in progress in my home) - I'm sure you'll love it!
