What I’m loving lately… April

What I’m reading…

I’ve just finished reading ‘In Bad Faith’ by AL Fraine. It’s a crime detective novel. I rated it 4/5 I quite enjoyed it and it was well written and the storyline was good. I was just a bit disappointed with the lack of bodies to say that the killer was supposedly a serial killer killing off homeless people but there was just the one body in this book. I did like the layout of the book, the font and line spacing. I’ve now just started reading the sequel ‘Hell to Pay’ so I’m hoping for more bodies in this book. (Yes I know that sounds a tiny bit morbid.)

I love reading in the morning in bed still in the warmth of my duvet with a hot drink.

What I’m listening to…

The audiobook that I’m currently listening to is ‘Eat Pray Love’ by Elizabeth Gilbert. A book I’ve wanted to read/listen to for a while. I was inspired when I saw someone I follow on social media posting that they were reading it on their flight so it prompted me to get round to reading it. (Audiobooks are still reading.) I’m really enjoying this book, especially as I didn’t realise that it was based on true events. I thought the book was a novel until I started reading/listening to it. I’m even more keen now to watch the film version once I’ve finished this book.

What I’m watching…

I’m now watching ‘9-1-1’ on Disney+ as I’d finished watching all the seasons of ‘9-1-1 Lone Star’. That one was based in Texas but ‘9-1-1’ is based in L.A. I like to have a drama on the go to watch to get lost into.

I’d love to rewatch ‘Greys Anatomy’ and then go onto the seasons I haven’t yet watched of that especially as all the seasons are available on Disney+ including the new release seasons.

Another drama I’m loving that I’d highly recommend is ‘Good American Family’ it’s based on the true events on Natalia Grace and the Barnett family told from multiple viewpoints. I’d watched the Natalia Grace documentary on the Discovery Channel but it’s interesting seeing it put into a drama. I’ve watched all the released episodes so far so I’m eager for the next episode to come out.

I’m also eagerly awaiting for season two of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives to come out which should be soon hopefully as it said it was being released in Spring. 

I also loved watching ‘Undercove Underage’ on Discovery. (I’d highly recommend it; there’s two seasons to watch). It follows SOSA’s undercover operations to bring down online child predators by using adult decoys acting as minors online. They are a highly sophisticated organisation and work with law enforcement at every step so they have a 100% track record for convictions. SOSA have now moved onto YouTube ‘SOSA Undercover’ and have brought out a new series on there so I’ve been enjoying watching that too.

I’ve also been watching some other YouTube videos as well. I watch a mix of things, documentaries/TV shows, vlogs, lifestyle videos, disability related content, crafting tutorials, organising type videos etc. I watched a couple of vlogs based in Japan and I’ve followed a couple of channels with content based in Japan in them. So one channel is a content creator who lives in Japan and does life in Japan videos and the other was a content creator who vlogs about being a medical student and she did a year abroad in Japan. As a result of watching some of these videos the algorithm on YouTube is now suggesting a lot of Japanese related videos to me! I’d be interested in watching vlogs in other countries too as it’s been quite interesting and I’ve learnt a lot about living in Japan recently so I’d like to learn about other countries. I think vlogs from people living in those countries give you a better insight into life in those countries as they don’t show you the tourist things but what it’s like actually living there.
