10 binge worthy TV shows
Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s theme is 10 binge worthy TV shows or amazing movies. These are my favorite shows, whether they are complete series or still airing. However, if they are still airing, they are shows that I’ve watched several seasons of (with the exception of “Outlander”…I’ve only seen the first season!)

Arrested Development

The Host by: Stephenie Meyer – My mom gave me this book the day after I miscarried my first baby, along with a bouquet of flowers. It had just come out and I had been wanting to read it, but of course I wasn’t even thinking of it after the trauma of losing a baby. It was so thoughtful of my mom. I had a lot of trouble sleeping in the weeks following the loss and I vividly remember laying on the couch in the middle of the night reading this book, which I loved.
Maniac Magee by: Jerry Spinelli – I read this when I traveled to Arkansas to visit my grandma all by myself (can you imagine an 11 year old traveling on a plane across the country along nowadays?). While reading this I noticed I was feeling kind of funny. That night I had nightmares about Maniac Magee running lost around town and woke up with a raging fever. I had do delay my flight home because I was so sick.
David Copperfield by: Charles Dickens – My dad gave me his childhood copy of this book (that I think may have belonged to his grandmother) when I was in second or third grade. I started reading it and he was just so proud that I could read it at such a young age. But it was so boring and I didn’t really understand it, but I didn’t want to stop reading it and disappoint him. So I just pretended to read most of it. I still own it and I still haven’t read the whole thing!
