Nothing But Reading Challenges discussion

And, has any of you started the Witcher series yet, on netflix??? It's so good ! (and Henry Cavill ♥♥♥) I'm dying to read the books now. I need to know what happens next.

My little sister and I are planning to read the first couple of books together and then watch the series after the first of the year.
I can't wait!

Planning to watch it Boxing Day with my daughters and wife. Hope it is awesome.

I ended up binge-watching it last weekend - insomnia can sometimes be helpful, lol.

I liked it overall, and think the actress playing Yennifer is really good. Sometimes I felt Cavill's delivery was a tad too "Batmanesque", but all in all, fun show.

Hi all, Merry Christmas!

I just got back from Scotland (again! lol), and oddly enough got exactly what I wanted for Christmas (the upside of buying your own pressies, hehe...). More importantly, I got to spend the time with my family, and minor kitchen incident aside escaped relatively unscathed!
Even my daughter managed to swing coming up with us, though it did mean travelling over 400 miles today only to get home, get changed and head out to work! It beat her spending Christmas all on her lonesome though.

Not missing the manic reading right now, but definitely missing the fun times on the team Lust thread, so I'm all for us sticking around here ;)

And on that note:

Nice Xmas cards Sammy, no wonder you make your own ;)

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and that Santa was good to you!!

You too Judith :)

Happy new year Lusty lovelies! Hope it's a great one for you all!

Happy New Year All!!!!!

May the champagne flow, and the resolutions be planned and then ignored!

Happy new year!!!

Happy New Year !!!!

Happy New Year to the best team ever!

Just in case any of you lovely Lusties are interested, but it has been officially announced that Leverage is getting a reboot!

*happy dance*

The original cast are all coming back, except for Timothy Hutton. apparently Noah Wyle will be joining them instead.

So lots more Eliot ahead! :D

OMG!!!!!!!!
What lovely news. I wonder why Hutton isn't doing it. Noah Wylie is a good sub though. I did like The Librarian series.

Sammy, you must be in heaven!

I am much happier about this than I have any right to be, lol.

I suspect Hutton might out because of the recent rape allegations, the powers that be may have insisted on it whether any of it is true or not, but no official word on that yet.

See. that is why I never delve into the lives of celebrities whose work I like. I want to keep liking the art/writing/acting/sports-prowess without knowing if they are assholes. Sometimes ignorance really is bliss.

Of course, it would be great if celebrities whose work I enjoy were just good people, and then I could watch a Woody Allen movie without cringing.

The comment sections on the Leverage reboot announcements were full of speculation. Personally, I prefer not to know too much either. It spoils things! lol.

Having said that, I'll read biographies, so long as I don't like them too much, mostly for the behind-the-scenes movie making stories. Couldn't care less about who is dating who and how many African chihuahuas they've adopted :D

I've never seen Leverage! :P

can't say I have either..

Steven, Claire, chances are you have some time on your hands right now. Seriously, find it and watch it. Very good distraction TV with some very yummy eye candy. And, you know, brains as well.

We are in the middle of soooo many shows right now. I'll put it as a maybe.

Do as the lady says.

Seriously.

I'm about to watch it for the 3rd time. Since November! lol!

lol, alright. I'll give it a try as soon as I'm done with the series I'm currently watching

I don't like to watch too many shows at once
