My Weekly Quarantine TV Favs

Image
During this time of quarantine I know I will be watching tons of movies and tv shows. I thought why not tell you what I have watched and look forward to watching.    Here are some of my favorites so far: 1. Outlander - STARZ "Outlander" is a historical drama based on the novel series by Diana Gabaldon. It stars Caitriona Balfe as Claire Randall, a married former World War II nurse who in 1946 finds herself transported back to Scotland in 1743. There she encounters the dashing Highland warrior Jamie Fraser played by Sam Heughan and becomes embroiled in the Jacobite risings. The first season is based on the first novel.  Season 1:  In 1946, former World War II nurse Claire Randall and her husband Frank are visiting  Inverness , Scotland, when she is carried from the standing stones at Craigh na Dun back in time to 1743. She falls in with a group of rebel  Scottish Highlanders  from  Clan  MacKenzie, who are being pursued by English  redcoats  led by Captain

Below Deck Mediterranean Season 4 Junkie Review

Image
For some reason, I fell in love with Below Deck series, especially Below Deck Mediterranean. Why not spend a night watching rich people getting drunk and employees making a fool of themselves. Season 4 has been one of my favorite seasons. There wasn't much drinking and sex like the previous seasons. This season did bring up some hard topics such as dealing with being an alcoholic, rape, culture, homophobic. Bravo brings us on a trip through the French Riviera for Season 4. Captain Sandy brings a new level  of leadership in season four on the "Sirocco" mega yacht. With high expectations, she has no tolerance for anything short of perfection and will take drastic measures if the crew can't deliver. Hannh, looking to right her wrongs from last season, is hoping for smooth sailing with a strong interior crew. But will choppy waters threaten her redemption? Mila, classically trained in French culinary cuisine, becomes the first female chef in franchise history

Fate of the Watchman by Chad Pettit Book Review

BOOK REVIEW Fate of the Watchman is a tale about Luster's life.  He only thinks about himself.  We are taken on his journey of experiencing violence, homelessness, and persecution. All of this leads him to God.  This book reminds a lot like Its a Wonderful Life and   A Christmas Carol .  The beginning was a tad on the slow side and I really wish they gave more character depth, but it did have a great cliffhanger.  Very inspiring and even at time suspenseful. I would recommend this short story series and can't wait to read the next book by Chad Pettit. ABOUT THE BOOK Lester Sharp is a workaholic, obsessed with the success of his business and oblivious to the world around him. All of that changes when a peculiar stranger comes into his shop asking for food and help. Lester soon finds himself on an impossible journey around the world to bear witness to some of the greatest tragedies a person can know, all frozen in a single moment of time.   In this challenging

Chosen People by Robert Whiltow Book Review

MY REVIEW As many of you know I have been receiving some amazing books. A few days ago I was  Chosen People  touches on a variety of topics including terrorism, crime, sex trafficking, lawsuits, culture differences, religion, relationships. Robert  Whiltow takes you on the journey of two lawyers, Jakob Brodsky and Hana Abboud representing the Neumann family.  They are hoping to find enough evidence so they can pursue the lawsuit under the US Anti-Terrorism statues. Hana was born in Reineh in Jerulsuam and moved Atlanta to hone in on her legal skills.   The plot has lots of twists some I predicted others surprised me.  There was a good about of backstory and depth to the characters sometimes too much. There was a lot of repeated information. I couldn't help but feel for each character.  However, I found this book to move a little on the slow side and at times confusing. I believe it is because there was a lot lecturing about the differences between America culture
