What I've watched so far in 2015

I thought it would be a great idea to include my ''What I've watched wrap-ups'' in my monthly wrap-ups as well. I kinda regret it I didn't do that from the beginning of this year, so here's an overview so far (at least for as far I can remember, ha).

 

Completed series:

I've completed two entire series this year so far: Gilmore Girls and The L Word. I watched the last few season in January and I loved that series so much! I already want to re-watch it again (and that says enough, right? I watched the entire 6 season of The L Word and I finished that one in May I believe. I got to addicted and it was really good! I love the drama (and the ahum scenes as well, of course. I have to it's a lesbian show with sex scenes in it, so if you're underage I don't recommend you watching this.

 

I also finally completed season 3 of LOST, but it took me more than a year to watch that season. I'm not sure if I want to continue, but for now I just stopped watching it.


Series I'm caught up with and waiting impatiently for new episodes:

Nashville, The Vampire Diaries, The Big Bang Theory and Pretty Little Liars. I love them all so much and I hate waiting for new episodes haha. I've watched all the episodes of Nashville in 2016 as well and I watched the other three when a new episode came out. I waited a few weeks for The Vampire Diaries and Pretty Little Liars though, so I could marathon them.

 

Movies:

I don't watch movies that often, so I only have seen 2 this year so far (as far as I can remember): The Witches and The Duff. I loved them both and I highly recomment both of them!

 

Series I'm currently watching/I'm having an obsession with:

I'm currently watching American Horror Story season 4. I watched season 1 and 2 last year and I loved them both! This is what I think of the genre ''Horror''. I couldn't stand season 3 so I stopped watching that, but season 4 is really good! I'm only at episode S04E03 so far.

 

My current obsession is Suits. I started watching it at the beginning of June and I'm already on season 2 (that's pretty fast for me but I'm on summer break, so yea). I love the show so much and I would like to caught up with it at the end of June so I can watch season 5 with the rest of the world when the new episodes are coming (new episode comes out on June 24th so I'm probably not able to do that, hahaha). I still have 44 episodes to go, but yea.

 

I've also been re-watching the 4th season of One Tree Hill. That series is one of my favorites and I can rewatch it over and over again.

 

What have you watched so far this year and what is your current obsession?

The Science Of The Big Bang Theory
The Science of TV's the Big Bang Theory: Explanations Even Penny Would Understand - Dave Zobel

I don't know. I'm afraid I expected a somewhat different kind of book when I requested it. I suppose I thought it would focus more on the show and give some more insights into it, but instead the show is used as a way to fix all the subjects addressed in this book together.

 

And as an introduction into these scientific subjects it's not bad. It's as they say 'explanations that even Penny would understand' and she might do now, but I'm pretty sure she would not have understood a lot of it at the beginning of the series. As a scientist myself I found there wasn't a lot of new things for me. Most of it I'd already seen in classes and besides physics isn't my main interest field in science.

 

The writing was okay, but the author tried to make a lot of jokes that didn't always quite land. It's probably just me, but it got a bit annoying after a while. And as this book clocks in at over 400 pages, it has to be something you must like, I guess...

 

So, if you're looking for a book about the show, keep looking, for besides some jokes and the search for where Sheldon's and Leonard 's apartment is there isn't much about it.

 

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

TBR Thursday #35
Written in the Blood - Stephen Lloyd Jones,Gemma Whelan
The Science of TV's the Big Bang Theory: Explanations Even Penny Would Understand - Dave Zobel
Monkeys, Myths, and Molecules: Separating Fact from Fiction, and the Science of Everyday Life - Joe Schwarcz
The Returned - Seth Patrick
The Acolyte - Nick Cutter

Moonlight Reader started the TBR Thursday, and I think it's a good way to a) show what new books I've got and b) confront myself with my inability to lower my TBR. In fact, since I started recording it, it has risen significantly. I get the feeling I'm doing something wrong here...

 

A new month always means new books. I try to not request too many books so that I'll finally be able to get my Netgalley percentage up from 46%, but so far I'm not really successful in doing so. Last week was quite busy, so my TBR has risen a bit, but I hope it will go down (or at least stabilize) again soon!

 

Written in the Blood

 

The new, enthralling supernatural thriller from Stephen Lloyd Jones, following his highly acclaimed debut THE STRING DIARIES. High in the mountains of the Swiss Alps Leah Wilde is about to gamble her life to bring a powerful man an offer. A promise. Leah has heard the dark stories about him and knows she is walking into the lion's den. But her options are running out. Her rare lineage, kept secret for years, is under terrible threat. That is, unless Leah and her mother Hannah are prepared to join up with their once deadly enemies. Should the prey ever trust the predator?

 

The Science of TV's The Big Bang Theory

 

Reveals the hard facts behind the laughter on TV’s most popular sitcom The highest-rated scripted show on TV, The Big Bang Theory often features Sheldon, Howard, Leonard, and Raj wisecracking about scientific principles as if Penny and the rest of us should know exactly what they’re talking about.The Science of TV’s The Big Bang Theory lets all of us in on the punchline by breaking down the show’s scientific conversations. From an explanation of why Sheldon would think 73 is the best number, to an experiment involving the physical stature of Wolowitz women, to an argument refuting Sheldon’s assertion that engineers are the Oompa-Loompas of science, author Dave Zobel maintains a humorous and informative approach and gives readers enough knowledge to make them welcome on Sheldon’s couch

 

Monkeys, Myths and Molecules

 

Quacks and pundits beware! The internet is a powerful beast when it comes to science; the answer to any query you may have is just a few keystrokes away. But when there are multiple answers from various sources, how do we know what information is reliable? In Monkeys, Myths, and Molecules, bestselling author Dr. Joe Schwarcz takes a critical look at how facts are misconstrued in the media. He debunks the myths surrounding canned food, artificial dyes, SPF, homeopathy, cancer, chemicals, and much more.Unafraid to expose the sheer nonsense people are led to believe about health, food, drugs, and our environment, Dr. Joe confronts pseudoscience and convincingly and entertainingly advocates for a scientific approach to everyday life.

 

The Returned

 

In an Alpine town reeling from a devastating accident, the families of dead wish their lost loved ones could come back...only to wake up one day to the chilling reality of their prayers being answered. But the victims of the accident are not the only ones to have returned from the dead. Their arrival coincides with a series of grizzly murders which bear a chilling resemblance to the work of a serial killer from the past... A stunning page-turner filled with startlingly real characters, Seth Patrick’s THE RETURNED reveals how the choices we make can affect those we love long after we’re gone.

 

The Acolyte

 

Jonah Murtag is an Acolyte on the New Bethlehem police force. His job: eradicate all heretical religious faiths, their practitioners, and artefacts. Murtag's got problems - one of his partners is a zealot, and he's in love with the other one. Trouble at work, trouble at home. Murtag realizes that you can rob a citizenry of almost anything, but you can't take away its faith. When a string of bombings paralyzes the city, religious fanatics are initially suspected, but startling clues point to a far more ominous perpetrator. If Murtag doesn't get things sorted out, the Divine Council will dispatch The Quints, aka: Heaven's Own Bagmen. The clock is ticking towards doomsday for the Chosen of New Bethlehem. And Jonah Murtag's got another problem. The biggest and most worrisome... Jonah isn't a believer anymore.
