A Booklover's TV Guide (a tuned-in Lexi review)

Our Beloved Readers,

There's tons of junk we watch (admit it; you've seen at least a clip of "Honey Boo Boo"). There are actually good programs out there, and on crunchyroll.com/hulu.com... So let me list my top five that you should watch if you love good stories...


"Sleepy Hollow"
Deep storyline that's full of twists and turns. Like watching a novel! (Btw, Ichabod is sexy.)


"Doctor Who"
Learn and be thoroughly entertained while falling in love! (Start with the Ninth Doctor; fall in love with the Tenth.)


"Elementary"
I'm going to get yelled at by those who watch "Sherlock" on BBC, but I haven't seen it yet. So, this one is a great twist on Sherlock Holmes! A British cutie (Sherlock) is a recovering addict, and his new handler is a chick (Watson). Hilarious and great!


"Instant Star"
My guilty pleasure. Four seasons long. Watch a regular girl rise up and fall and rise again in this awesome show where a girl becomes a star on a TV show. (Love this.)


"Princess Hours (Goong)"
An awesome Korean drama that lasts 24 episodes! A clumsy girl who's just as messed up as us is set up with a snot-headed prince. Trust me on this one; it's great.


Hope y'all enjoy!!!!!

XOXO,
Lexi

"Severed" (a headless Lexi review)

Hello, Internets People,

This is Alexis, bringing you another great novel to read! Again, because my mind is focused on costumes at the moment, we'll go to this novel: Severed (A Tale of Sleepy Hollow) by Dax Varley!


Summary: "Katrina’s still haunted by her encounter with the Headless Horseman - the night he beckoned to her. Now he has risen again, slashing heads and terrorizing the quiet countryside. 

Her only joy during this dismal darkness comes when Ichabod Crane, a gorgeous young man from Connecticut, moves to Sleepy Hollow and their attraction turns to romance. 

When the Horseman marks Ichabod as his next victim, Katrina, despite dangerous efforts to save him, sees no other choice than for them to flee. 
But the Horseman awaits. Now it’s up to her to sever the horror and alter the Legend of Sleepy Hollow." (Thank you, Goodreads!)

This novel had me hooked. I'm neutral on the usual Sleepy Hollow story, but this one had me absorbing each page as fast as possible. The love story wrapping into the legend (that is much, much creepier in this novel) is wonderful!

I honestly believe that everybody should read this version! The characters and storyline is actually believable, and the mysteries that you try to solve along the way are deeper than you could ever imagine.

In Conclusion: This novel is GREAT!!! READ IT!!!


Rating:

5/5 heads
