Roundup of Recommendations from our Readers:
TV
Ted Lasso* Sidesplittingly funny; positive; and about GOOD people who care about each other!! *Wins the award for most nominations!
Schitt’s Creek - Hilarious; funny and positive two things much needed during the pandemic!
All things Disney+ - If the kids are happy, I’m happy!
Queer Eye & Great British Baking Show - shows genuine people uplifting each other instead of tearing them down
Wandavision - Very clever and may have sucked me in to watching more super hero movies
Barry - A delightfully dark comedy and totally absurd and escapist.
Bridgerton- Breathless sexiness; the only thing that I stayed up late to watch. The rest was PBS kids with my kids; entertaining and the total over the top entertainment that I needed during the pandemic.
The Americans- big time fan of the show “Felicity” when I was younger, so it was really fun to see Keri Russell play a TOTALLY DIFFERENT character in The Americans. It was the ultimate binge because the episodes and seasons are long
Books
Overstory - A winding novel about people's experiences with nature, and trees specifically, and how this attraction brings them together in unexpected ways, helped put my mind behind the confines of my house
Deacon King Kong by James McBride - It’s a warm tale of diverse and complicated neighbors whose lives intersect in unpredictable and often hilarious ways. And the prose just sparkles.
Homegoing -A great story of that period of time and its impact for generations to come.
Rich Dad Poor Dad - Reflection and money management
Lonesome Dove - It's been my favorite book since 6th grade and I used the lockdown last summer to reread the entire series. Lonesome Dove is still the GOAT but it's all excellent.
Movies
Here I Come on Netflix - Because Dolly Parton. That says it all.
Dream Job
Presidential dog trainer anyone?
