I have updated My Bookshelf with the books I’m currently reading: ...
Amazing Race: Twinnie Hot Mess
The 24th season of Amazing Race is an all-star season with contestants from past seasons given another chance at winning a million dollars while traveling the world, arguing with one another, lying to other teams and possibly having a nervous breakdown at some point. Come join the commentary from...
Outlander (Outlander #1)
Outlander by Diana Gabaldon I’ve had a good friend talk about this book for years. Romance isn’t really a genre that I read. She had mentioned it had to do with time travel (briefly) and there was a lot of action and adventure in the Scottish Highlands. I still...
Amazing Race: Rainy Finale
I’m finally recapping the last two episodes of last season of Amazing Race. Watch the teams play in a Japanese game show, swim in a phone booth fish tank, build a giant robot and throw flour from a prop plane in the 11th episode “Amazing Crazy Race” and the...

Amazing Race: Angry Showgirls

A Storm of Swords (A Song of Fire and Ice #3)
A Storm of Sword by George R.R. Martin It is not the book’s fault that it took me almost a year to read it. It is long but I did start reading it when I started watching the third season of Game of Thrones. I wanted to be surprised...
Amazing Race: Begging for Help
The holidays and travel caught up with me, so I am finally going back to finish up my recaps of the last season of Amazing Race. In this ninth episode, teams traveled to Indonesia to feed elephants and have nervous breakdowns trying to make music. Click through to read...
2013 Bottom 5 TV Shows
I know there is a lot worse television out there than what is on my list, but what I picked here were shows that I watched or continue to watch and wonder why I do. They made me angry more than giving me any enjoyment. Did you watch...
