I am always asking for recommendations on books, tv shows, podcasts, and music, so I thought that at the end of each month I'd share some of my favorites with you.
BOOKS
I'm a big reader, and I read more books in 2020 than ever before- 60! It's looking like 2021 will have plenty of reading time, as well. I've read 6 books already, here are my favorites:
Plain Bad Heroines: This was one I read for the book club I'm in. It's lengthy, but it's so weird and quirky and full of layers to dissect. It's also full of strong female characters, most of which identify as gay. It's not often these types of characters are written about, so it was something new and the storyline was unlike anything I've read.
Such A Fun Age: I'd heard a lot about this book before I read it so I had high hopes. It's really good! Fast paced, interesting and emotional. Also very relevant and eye opening. Highly recommend!
Turn of The Key: I don't read thrillers too often because I freak myself out. In fact, while reading this book there was a day I had to take the trash out in the back alley at the gym where I work the front desk, and I fully convinced myself I was going to be murdered. This book kept me guessing, and I was way off on my prediction. Fast paced read!
TV SHOWS
Like everyone else, I've watched an insane amount of TV. Here are some shows I really enjoyed in January
Bridgerton (Netflix): IT'S SO GOOD. I watched it in 1.5 days. I want to watch it again. I wasn't sure I'd like it, but man did I fall in love. The characters, the costumes, the storyline! Everything is top notch and I am just thrilled they are going to continue on. If you have not watched this yet, you must.
The Flight Attendant (HBO MAX): This show peaked my interest when I heard Kaley Cuoco on Dax Shepard's Podcast. I'm not sure why I waited so long to watch but I'm glad I did! It's mysterious and keeps you on your toes.
The Undoing: Also on HBO Max! Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant are both incredible in this thriller. I thought I had this show figured out and then it put me in some twists and turns. Very well written, fast paced. Easy to binge in a weekend!
Music
You can check out all the songs I had on repeat in January here. If you listen and fall in love with any of the songs, I'd love to hear which one!
