The Way the Crow Flies by Anne-Marie MacDonald. This book was good. Forget that it took me almost two months to finish it... the fact that I renewed it from the library and then sweet-talked the librarian into checking it back in and then checking it back out to me again instead of sending it back to it's library home in south Georgia proves just how good this book is! It's long. Probably one of the reasons it took me so long to finish it. It's a murder mystery, set in Canada just after the end of World War II. That's the main plot, but oh my goodness at the many sub-plots. For once, I actually figured out who the murderer was. I have to say though, that some of the content was really difficult for me to read. One of the sub-plots deals with child abuse by a teacher.
When Joy Came to Stay by Karen Kingsbury. I know, I know, I've said that I was finished with Karen Kingsbury so many times. I was over at my Granny's and noticed a copy of this novel on her table. I read the back cover and decided to give it a whirl because it deals with a subject very near and dear to my heart: depression in Christian women. The book was a typical Kingsbury, in my opinion. I pretty much knew what was going to happen before it happened. Very predictable and cliche. But, a good story. Also a very informative read for those who think that Christians shouldn't suffer from depression. I could actually relate to the main character. A lot! More than I care to admit.
Gilmore Girls. Oh, how I love this show. I was SO excited and was counting the days until it became available on Netflix. It's just so good! The first day that it appeared on Netflix, I was having a bad day. I remember thinking to myself, during one of Violet's temper tantrums in Target, "It's gonna be okay. I'm gonna go to church tonight and then come home and watch Gilmore Girls. Just hang on.". Ha ha! I watched the whole series really quickly and loved every minute. I had forgotten how hard the last season was to watch, though. It was torture watching Lorelei screw up her relationship with Luke over and over and over! Still so good, though!
Parenthood. It's the farewell season and I'm so sad! I love this show, too. I have a weird obsession with Lauren Graham, I guess. One of my favorite parts about this season is texting my friend Joanne during each episode. We watch it together and commentate... "Oh no. Zeke's gonna die in this episode!" and "What in the world is Amber thinking?!?!" and "No Joel! Fight for Julia!". Those sorts of things. I'm gonna miss it when it's gone.
American Horror Story: Coven. Not impressed. Totally a waste of my time.
The Walking Dead. I finally jumped on this bandwagon and I'm officially obsessed. I'm on Season 3 right now, on Netflix. Trying to get caught up by February. My family is so happy!
