Bought:

Lady Susan / The Watsons / Sanditon
by Jane Austen
edited by Margaret Drabble
-Classic, Romance
Amazon | Goodreads

=====> After browsing the used book section of Book Passage, I found this gem. I still have yet to read The Watsons and Sanditon.


AND binge watching: on Netflix

Gilmore Girls (2000)
tv series, season one
Creator: Amy Sherman-Palladino
Starring: Lauren Graham, Alexis Bledel
-Comedy, Drama | imdb | my rating: 4

A drama centering around the relationship between a thirtysomething single mother and her teen daughter living in Stars Hollow, Connecticut.

=====> I have been wanting to watch this whole series and have seen episodes here and there. For some reason the autumn season has put me in the mood to get into the cozy Stars Hollow world.


AND watched: on DVD

Outlander (2014)
tv series, season 1, pt2
Creator: Ronald D. Moore
Based on book by: Diana Gabaldon
Starring: Caitriona Balfe, Sam Heughan
-Drama, Romance, Sci-Fi | imdb | my rating: 5

Follows the story of Claire Randall, a married combat nurse from 1945 who is mysteriously swept back in time to 1743, where she is immediately thrown into an unknown world where her life is threatened. When she is forced to marry Jamie Fraser, a chivalrous and romantic young Scottish warrior, a passionate relationship is ignited that tears Claire's heart between two vastly different men in two irreconcilable lives.

=====> I finally got the second part DVD of season one to catch up. Loving how this is produced and plan to listen to the podcasts that Ronald has created to go along with each episode. He is good at sharing details and fun tidbits.


Currently flipping through: from the library
