Follow Friday Feb 25

This is Follow Friday, hosted by Parajunkee's View

This week's question:
Share your current fav television show! Tell us a bit about it...

Okay, I'll split this into a few sections.

Favorite live-action show that's currently airing: Castle
Okay, so it's the only major network show currently airing that I'm watching regularly. But, how can I resist Nathon Fillion and super-adorable banter! It consistently amuses me.
Favorite animated show that's currently airing: Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes 
(It's close, though. I'm anxiously awaiting a chance to see the Birds of Prey-ish episode of Batman: The Brave and the Bold)
Avengers is an awesome, surprisingly complicated series, with great writing and great action. Plus they keep introducing obscure characters that I want to know more about. The theme song's pretty terrible, though.
Favorite just aired thing: Downton Abbey, a fantastic BBC costume drama that aired on PBS. 
Most looking forward to the return of: Sherlock, Doctor Who
A fabulous re-imagining of Holmes and intelligent, heartfelt sci-fi. What more could a girl ask for?

Mystery, Superheroes, Historical, Sci-fi. Sounds like a decent sum-up of my interests. Are there any good Fantasy tv shows out there?

    Ah, I'm really excited for the return of Sherlock and Doctor Who, two of my favorite shows. Steve Moffat is genius. As far as Castle's concerned I love that show to bits, Nathan Fillion is just too too much~!

    I spent some time meandering over this on my blog but came up with one not-so-clear winner – Human Target.

    There were two very close runner-ups. Follow me back to my blog and find out which TV shows came close – and why. I promise you won’t be bored!

    Thank God it’s Follow Friday!

    Thanks everyone! Always glad to see Fillion fans, and sensible folks who recognize that both Doctor Who and Sherlock are genius! ;)

If the Fates Allow (crosspost)

If the Fates Allow Edited by Annie Harper, 2017 New Release! I received a copy of this book from NetGalley for the purpose of review. Premise: Five stories of love, hope, and forgiveness at the holidays. Do you need some warm and fuzzy holiday cheer? Do you love love? This new collection features five LGBTQ holiday romances that make your heart feel full of sugarplums. I smiled and sighed and giggled. It's seriously sweet, without being too sweet.

The Silence of the Elves Meg Muldoon, 2016 Premise: Holly's been demoted right out of the North Pole through no fault of her own, but she'll need more than hope to get her life back on track. You may recall that I kind of liked another one of Meg Muldoon's holiday-themed cozy mysteries , so when I saw she had a new series that was explicitly about Christmas elves, I had to try it.

The Santa Claus Man (crosspost)

The Santa Claus Man: The Rise and Fall of a Jazz Age Con Man and the Invention of Christmas in New York Alex Palmer, 2015 Premise: In the early 1900s, more children began to write letters to Santa, and the Post Office asked for help. Enter John Duval Gluck Jr. and his creation: The Santa Claus Association. This was an interesting book overall, although the payoff is smaller than I would have preferred. The book paints a complex and intriguing picture of New York in the first few decades of the twentieth century, particularly around Christmas. The specific story of Gluck and his various "charities" is only the largest thread; the book also explores early influences on the image of Santa, how various staples of Christmas (public tree-lightings, parades, etc.) started or became notable in New York City.
