In My
Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by Kristie from The Story Siren.
In this
meme we can brag about all the books we got or bought during the week and here
is my haul.
I ordered
some books at Book Depo and they finally arrived.
I got
Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater
Heartless by
the wonderful Gail Carriger
and
Unearthly by Cynthia Hand.
I started
reading Shiver right away but unfortunately there is much to do here due to the
fact that my semester ends in about one week time, which means studying and
tutoring hardcore, so I haven’t had a chance to read a lot during this week. Hopefully
it will get better soon.
I also want
to send a little question out into the universe and especially to you readers:
What were
your favorite TV series when you were young?
I thought
about it a lot and I also thought about watching them again sometime soon
because I would really love to know if I can relate to the same people again as
I could with 14/15/16/17?
Would be
interesting….
I loved
watching Full House from the age of probably 9 onwards and I got all the seasons
on DVD at home – still love it. Wonderful series, especially John Stamos (yummy!)!
I also love(d)
Friends and my all time favorites are still Rachel, Chandler and Joey (in that order).
When I was
about 14 years old Dawson’s
Creek came up and I watched it a lot. I wasn’t one of these hardcore fans but I
liked it and I was so in love with Pacey and I always hoped that he and Joey
would end up together living happily ever after. I wonder if I, when watching
this whole series nowadays, would have those same feelings towards the actors
and if I would love Joey as much as I loved her back then?
But never
ever forget the amazing, wonderful and fab Gilmore Girls. When they went on air
here in Austria
for the first time, which was in 2003, I was 17. So I was practically as old as
Rory and the relationship between my mum and me is kind of like the one Lorelai
and Rory have. This is still my favorite series for cuddling up on the sofa or
in bed and watching series all day long. It is just so comfy!
I am really
curious?
What were or are your favorite series – especially all time favorites?
I love Unearthly, it is so wonderful and Hallowed was awesome as well.

Aaaa I hope you'll like Unearthly!! :) I loved it so much! And also Shiver is good! :) Great books! :) ;)
ReplyDeleteMy all time favorite series was Bonanza, I was in love with Adam (yes, Adam!) at the time. I wouldn't watch it today though :) I'm not much of a TV follower. I'll watch the Big Bang Theory when it's on (and I'm on). I did buy all the seasons of Six Feet Under and still think it is one of the best ones out there - never watched the last episode, because I never wanted it to end... I feel a little confused seeing these actors now in other series *laugh*.
ReplyDeleteHave fun reading your books :) Unfortunately I do not have that much time to follow all your recommended reads (I need a couple of weeks for one book), plus, I like to read in my native language (German). But nice to read so much of you :D
My native language is German as well but I just love to read in English. Might be because I study English and I am really annoyed when the German translation lacks a lot of wit.
DeleteGreat Mailbox! Unearthly was amazing. Hope you enjoy it too!
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading!

I was obsessed with Full House. I've seen every episode - multiple times with re-runs.
