what i've been enjoying ...

Since it's been a while, I thought I would catch you up on what I've been enjoying the last few months ...

* Lauren Graham

All things Lauren Graham!!!!

Gilmore Girls, Parenthood, Gilmore Girls Revival ... yes, yes, & yes!

I can't even tell you how many times I've watched the entire 7 seasons of Gilmore Girls over the past couple of years. I love the quirkiness, the fast dialog, the mother/daughter dynamic. The Revival came out on Netflix the day after Thanksgiving & it was everything I thought it would be! & then, there's Parenthood ... no words. This show is in a class all by itself. If you haven't watched it, get on Netflix STAT! Lauren Graham is unbelievably great in both shows ... so great!

She recently wrote a book about her time on Gilmore Girls & Parenthood entitled Talking As Fast As I Can. If you're a fan of either show (& you should be) you would LOVE the book!

* Historical Fiction

I know, snoozefest, right?!?!?

But seriously, I have been reading a ton of historical fiction set in World War II Europe the last few months. I feel like that last sentence makes me sound a lot smarter than I really am ...

Here are a few of the books that have been my favorite ...

All the Light We Cannot See
The Book Thief
Secrets of a Charmed Life
The Nightingale

I am totally intrigued about this time era & what life must have been like for the European people. Such a dark time in history.  If I had to pick a favorite from this little list, it would have to be Secrets of a Charmed Life ... an incredible book!

* Hillsong's "Let There Be Light"

OK ... Hillsong has a relatively new album entitled, "Let There Be Light" & it has been on constant rotation in my car, on my phone, in my house ...

It is soooooo great! I haven't totally loved some of their recent projects, but this album doesn't have a bad track on it! I can't even tell you my favorite song, because they are all so good! Go on YouTube & find some of the live performances ... you won't be sorry!

* The Crown
I am so late to the party for this one ... BUT for everyone that loved Downton Abbey ... get on Netflix & watch The Crown! Only season 1 is out right now ... it spans time from her childhood through her becoming queen after the death of her father. It's a completely different look at the monarchy. Can not wait for season 2!

So, y'all ... am I missing out on anything?!?!?! Let me know what you are loving right now!
