Thanks to the fabulous EE-Readers for their recommendations on books to read and shows to watch! This is the second of a series of posts with reader recommendations.
(some links on this page are affiliate links)
What I’m enjoying:
Book: Starsight by Brandon Sanderson (Sequel to Skyward. I’m enjoying it as much as the first book.)
TV/ Streaming: Avatar: The Last Airbender (Still re-watching and LOVING this TV series (NOT the movie). One of my all-time favorite series. I’m a total fangirl. Yip Yip!) – Netflix or Amazon
Movie: Inception (I re-watched this movie this week. Can’t say I loved the entire plot, but I absolutely love the concepts behind it. My soon-to-be announced next book–Briar and the Dreamers of Midnight–is related to dreams, so that’s always fun to see movies about the same topic.)
Recommendations by EE-Readers:
Books:
Ruby & the Huntsman of Midnight by Susan EE (Aww..thank you!)
The Cruel Prince by Holly Black (this has been on my to-read list since it came out. It looks great! One of the highlights of my career was when Holly asked for an advanced copy of End of Days. That totally made my week to think about Holly Black reading my book!)
Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas (I met her once at a conference. She’s pretty, talented, a genuine fangirl, and the minute you meet her, you want to be her friend. 🙂
TV/ Streaming:
Westworld – HBO – (Love the premise, but it’s one of the most violent shows I’ve ever seen.)
Criminal Minds – CBS
Supernatural – CW
Movies:
Arrival – (An impressive adaptation of the short story Stories of Your Life by Ted Chiang. I never thought this brilliant short story could be adapted into film. I’m happy to say they did an excellent job. Still worth reading the actual short story, though.)
Onward – Disney Plus
Here’s what readers are saying about how they’re relaxing these days:
- Sitting in the garden watching the kittens play, plus learning to needle felt large dragons
- Learning how to make stacked layer cakes
- Mostly just baking! I made these cookies recently— will attach link at bottom— and they’re great if you like chocolate! I’m going to try them again and add some coffee flavor to see if it’s just as good 🙂 https://cafedelites.com/best-fudgy-chocolate-brownie-cookies/ I’ve also been doing some art— I’ve found it’s fun to try to come up with my own set of deities, kind of like greek mythology! So far I have one for sun, moon, and am working on a foresty one. So if you’re into art, that could be a fun exercise 🙂
THANK YOU so much to all the fantastic EE-Readers for the fabulous recommendations!
