Favorite Show Cancellations

Well, I am truly pissed. The CW has managed to not only manage to cancel one, but two of my favorite shows. First, The Game. I don't know about you but I was disappointed about this, but I would have still watched the network because of the other shows that I like on there. Second and last, Privileged. They did not even give this show a fair chance. I loved that show. I don't understand why good shows get the shake. The also cancelled a couple of others, but I don't watch those but for those of you that do here they go. The Reaper and Everybody Hates Chris. It's really sad, so even though there are two other shows that I watch on that network I will not be watching them again. Sad, but true.

I will post again to list the cancellation of other favs and not to favs.

To be continued.....

The Women's Murder Club

James Patterson and Maxine Paetro has done it again. The eighth Women's Murder Club book is just as good as the first seven. I haven't sat down and devoured a book so quickly since I read the first book in the series (1st to Die). It is an absolutely wonderful book. The new book of course is The 8th Confession. I said of course because if you are a fan of the series you know that all eight books have a number in the title starting with 1 thru 8. Now before I give you a rundown of the book, just from the book jacket of course, I am going to try to list the previous titles for those of you have have never read the series.

1st to Die (with Andrew Gross)
2nd Chance (with Andrew Gross)
3rd Degree (with Maxine Paetro)
4th of July (with Maxine Paetro)
The 5th Horseman (with Maxine Paetro)
The 6th Target (with Maxine Paetro)
7th Heaven (with Maxine Paetro)

Instead of going by the book jacket, I will tell that this book is filled with twist and turns and it will leave you guessing until the end. If you are a fan of mystery you will love this book. Go out and buy or check it out at the library it is definitely worth the time and effort.

True Blood

It's been a while, but I am back. And guess what my favorite show is coming soon also. True Blood is on its way back and there is a countdown on this page or somewhere on this blog. Anyway, for those of you who love the show you can keep up with the number of nights and hours, etc.. that we have left to see Season 2 of True Blood. For those of you who have never seen or heard of the show Season 1 is out or about to be released on DVD. To go along with watching the show you all should also read Charlaine Harris's books that the series is based on. I have had the pleasure of reading them all and I have to say she is a wonderful writer. The plus side to all of this is that the show doesn't veer far from the book and its wonderful to see your favorite scenes from the book acted out on television. Plus, you get to see who they picked to play your favorite characters. That leads to debating rather or not he picked the right people for the roles. Anyway, watch the show and read the book you will not be disappointed.
