The obligatory books & TV post, now in 2017!
I'm pretty much still exclusively reading SF and Fantasy, with the occasional non-fiction book thrown in (but very occasional) and these are the best of what I read in 2016:
- Lagoon by Nnedi Okorafor, a first contact novel set in Nigeria
- Ninefox Gambit by Yoon Ha Lee
- The Obelisk Gate by NK Jemisin (though you need to read The Fifth Season first ( Read more... )
- Lagoon by Nnedi Okorafor, a first contact novel set in Nigeria

Books and stuff
Since I've been mostly blathering about what I've been up to in my personal life, I thought I'd also do a post about what I've been consuming in terms of media, since it's been quite a lot ( Read more... ) -
The belated TV post I've been threatening to do...
September is the start of the new TV season for most things so it's been traditional for me to post something around then about what I'm watching, what didn't survive the end of last season and what I'm looking forward to - yep, I know we're in mid-October but there's still new stuff coming so whatever... Spoilers likely in the comments, opinions ( Read more... ) -
The TV hitlist
Normally me liking something is the kiss of death for a new show but here's the news for this year's TV renewals/cancellations (or at least the ones I've been watching) so far:
Renewed:
- How to Get Away With Murder - absurd, but I do love Connor
- Agent Carter - \o/
- Brooklyn Nine Nine - surely not a surprise to anyone?
- Sleepy Hollow - wasn't looking ( Read more... )
- How to Get Away With Murder - absurd, but I do love Connor

5 new TV shows
So, after telling you about shows I've stopped watching, how about some that I started (or will shortly start)?
1. iZombie - it's a new Rob Thomas show! It's essentially Veronica Mars with zombies, as our main character is one and also helps solve crimes by eating the brains of murder victims. And then we also get David Anders and Bradley James ( ( Read more... ) -
Five TV shows I tried but didn't stick with
I go through phases of watching a lot of TV. Some of it, my satellite company kindly provides for me (for example, Empire is finally starting next week in the UK) and I'm more than happy to trail along however many weeks or months behind we are than the US/Canada. Others, not so much. ;)
I was thinking the other day about, a few years back in ( Read more... ) -
Five new(ish) shows...
Five new(ish) shows with not many episodes so you can catch up on them easily...
1. Turn - I have to admit, it was the casting which drew me to this (Jamie Bell, Burn Gorman, Aldis Hodge etc. etc.) but the relative newness of this period, as opposed to multiple cop and medical shows, helps make this tale of spies in the American Revolutionary War ( Read more... ) -
It's (nearly) that time again...
Yes, it's nearly September and that means new (and returning) TV, some great and some not so great, imho...
I know you're all desperate to know what I've been watching over the past few months, not to mention what I am looking forward to being cancelled after a few episodes, probably so here goes:
The old faithfuls (some class, some cheese - you ( Read more... ) -
TV update, the 2014 edition
Oddly enough, the last entry I have tagged as 'TV stuff' is from about this time last year, talking about what I was watching then so I thought it'd be interesting to see how things have changed (if they have) and/or what I'm currently watching. So, I'm volunteering to give my opinion on any or all of the following, whether I watch them now or no ( Read more... ) -
TV update - all opinions happily discussed!
I did manage to get my picfor1000 submission done ( it's Mag7, in case anyone is interested and isn't on relevant communities) back in February but other than that I've been watching a lot of tv...
So, what am I currently watching (fannish or otherwise)?:
- Person of Interest
- Grimm
- Vikings
- Big Bang Theory
- Go On
- Happy Endings
- Elementary
- The Following
- Once ( Read more... )
