The Best Shows To Binge Watch

Over the Christmas I can imagine that the majority of us continued to binge watch a much loved TV Show or began a new one and are struggling with withdrawal now that the festive period is over. For me, I continued to binge watch Grey's Anatomy at an unhealthy rate and I still fit in an episode whenever I have a spare 40 minutes. 

Below, I have comprised a list of TV Shows that I really, really, REALLY enjoyed and that I found were impossible not to binge watch. 

Gossip Girl 
I would be surprised to find any girl who has not watched at least some of Gossip Girl. I started watching this about a year ago and I still miss it! The characters are well portrayed through all the story lines which has you hooked. Whenever anyone asks me to recommend them a series to watch I always suggest Gossip Girl. The male species seem persistent to not watch it but I'm sure they're more guys out there watching it than we think. It's definitely not the 'girlie' series that most people seem to think it is. My boyfriend will kill me for saying this but he loved it and watched it with me all the time. 

90210
I was always a devoted fan to Gossip Girl but once I finished that I needed a replacement. Although I loved Gossip Girl, I definitely enjoyed 90210 so much more. In fact, I was obsessed. I preferred the characters in Gossip Girl but I just found the story lines in 90210 to be better and I found I was addicted to this more than I was to Gossip Girl. I would recommend this show to anyone and I can assure you that it will not disappoint. 

Friday Night Dinner 
If you're in the mood to laugh then this is definitely the series for you. I loved this so much that I would almost say it's funnier than The Inbetweeners (maybe not quite). The characters in this series are all so different and played so well. Each episode is as funny as the previous one and I can guarantee it will have you rolling off your seat laughing. 

The Killing
Although I only watched the first 2 seasons, I did that for a very good reason. The first season could easily be watched within a day as it is just incredible! Realizing that the second season is a continuation of the plot in the first season, the next marathon begins. I didn't find one dull, boring moment in the first two seasons and I would highly recommend them. I had heard from several people that the third season was a let down compared to the first two so I decided to give it a miss. I did watch the first couple of episodes but found I was just not enjoying it at all. If you happen to have watched it and found it enjoyable and as good as season one and two then please comment below!

Grey's Anatomy
As I mentioned already, this is the show I am currently hooked to! I had heard great things about Grey's Anatomy since the first season but I never thought I would enjoy it. How wrong was I? From the pilot episode in season one I was addicted and this has only worsened since then. I think I am on season three at the moment and although I don't have the time to sit and watch several episodes consecutively, I'm still enjoying it as much as I did season one. 10/10- cannot recommend this enough!

Have you watched/are you watching any of these shows at the moment? What other shows would you recommend to watch?

Goodreads - The Clever Way To Read

Today I am going to be doing something a little different. You all know I'm a massive bookworm and recently I came across this genius website called Goodreads. I don't usually struggle with finding new books to read mainly because I know what books I enjoy but I do love to find out about books that may catch my attention. That is exactly what Goodreads is about. Not only can you get recommendations based on the books you've read, but you can also see hundreds of reviews on books to check the overall rating. Many authors are users of this website which is great as you can interact with your favourite authors! This site also gives you the opportunity to set a reading challenge for the year and I have set a goal of reading at least 50 books in 2015.

There is also a Goodreads app available which is handy when you're reading on the go!

I'm sure some of you have already heard of this website/use it but I am just so impressed with it and enjoy using it so much that I felt the need to share it with you all. You can add me as a friend on Goodreads here.

Are you a Goodreads user? Have you ever heard of Goodreads before?
