Santa Clarita Diet - If you don't like blood and guts, do not watch this show. If that stuff doesn't bother you then go ahead and watch! The show is hilarious and the cast works really well together. You can tell they have chemistry. It's short and sweet so I will watch it while I eat dinner before I study/apply for jobs.
Longmire - If you love a good "blue sky" cop show, this is for you. You can binge it on Netflix (there are six seasons), I do on the regular. It is the story of Walt Longmire and his police department in Wyoming. The show is filmed in New Mexico and I've never wanted to visit somewhere this bad because of how beautiful the scenery is. Walt's view from his front porch is out of a National Geographic magazine, I swear. There are a cast of characters but they solve crimes, they have dealings with the Native American tribe and craziness always ensues. It gets a little dark in the third and fourth season but I promise it is worth the watch.
The Post - Oh my goodness. The journalism major in me really geeked out over this film. Also, Meryl Streep is just a goddess. If you still haven't seen this movie, please do. It really helps you understand journalism and why it is more important than ever to have the media. Meryl's character becomes a little bit of a feminist, kind of inadvertently, which is very cool to see. Plus, my professor worked on it!
Battle of the Sexes - If you love getting worked up about feminism, this is the movie for you. I watched this one on a flight and I loved every minute of it. Not knowing a lot about the subject of the match is fine, they do the full timeline for you and you'll get worked up about the sexist way tennis used to be. Plus, the acting is phenomenal. I loved Emma Stone and Steve Carell and all of the supporting cast was good as well.
A Series of Unfortunate Events - I read these books in elementary school and loved them. They were the best. The movie was horrible, they were cramming too much stuff into too short amount of time but the TV show on Netflix is great. They spend two episodes per book and I feel like they get all the good out of them. I never re-read the books so this has been so fun to see what I didn't remember.
Texas Highways - This magazine has been my go-to for a few months. It is the "travel magazine of Texas" and I have to agree with them. Don't get me wrong, I love my Texas Monthly, but this is way more of what to do, where to eat and where to stay in Texas. The articles are well written, there are good photos and it is just a good break.
Mephisto Waltz - My dad and I have been obsessed with Frank Tallis for a really, really long time. We've read every Lieberman Papers book together so when we saw he finally published a new one we jumped on it. We read it in less than a week and really loved it. It's a little different than his past
mysteries, more of a terrorism theme, but still the same. You'll get wonderful descriptions of 1904 Vienna pastries, they still sing and Amelia & Max make some steps in their relationship. I would 10/10 recommend.
