Sheila at Book Journey runs It's Monday! What Are You Reading?
Thank you to Sheila for hosting this meme, which always adds books to my TBR wishlist!
Well this past week there was a lot of excitement around Starz new TV production of Outlander (books written by Diana Gabaldon.) Wonderful. Below are a few of the fun clips going round at present of interviews of the cast.
Sunday afternoon I watched the first episode which Starz have made available free - in USA - but through social media I discovered I could watch it on my iPad using an iMusic app! The wonders of technology. It was just as I had imagined. They did a great job.
Also exciting was the news that the whole show will be available in New Zealand through Lightbox, a new online TV provider here. It hopes to open at the end of August. So big sighs of relief and excitement among fans of the series here. I will sign up for it - and will probably need to up my data for the internet!
So... this week I read:
Very Good
Excellent
At present I am reading:
Accidentally Married on Purpose by Rachel Harris
Next up:
The House on Mermaid Point by Wendy Wax.
Reviews this past week on the blog:
Mr Right Goes Wrong - Pamela Morsi
Hooked on a Feeling - Ainslie Paton
The Promise of Jennie Jones - Maggie Osborne
Watched the first episode of Outlander and enjoyed it, but won't subscribe to continue watching. I like your "In Death" covers. Love that series.
ReplyDeleteYes, cost has to be factored it, some of my sisters I guess will be bypassing it because of cost. I am a diehard fan! I'll juggle and get rid of something else! Yeah, love the In Death cover. It is actually not the one of the book I read, but couldn't find that one, so chose this one!
DeleteNice lists, Kathryn! and good news for that Lightbox option.. my librarian just gave me a headsup for hoopla avlbl here. Will def be checking into that .

ReplyDeleteI need to get back to reading more of the In Death series..I've loved it so far. I also have The House on Mermaid Point and can't wait to read it. Thanks for visiting my blog, and enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteI need to start the Wendy Wax series. I haven't read the Outlander series, but I will be tuning in to see how the tv series fares. Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteI haven't yet found out is Outlander is available to watch in the UK, but I hope it is! I actually plan to read the book for the first time this weekend. Have heard a lot of great things so I can't wait! :)
ReplyDeleteThere is a big push to get Outlander show into the UK, one of the countries that doesn't have it yet!
