#AmReading + #AmWatching + #AmListening - Media Shares And #Reviews 26-03-20

I want a story to take me to a place that I’ve never been to before and make it come vividly alive for me.

Also, please remember that I read/watch/listen to things in a variety of genres, and for all ages, so you should make sure you check that the book/movie/show/song is suitable for the intended audience before reading/watching/listening to it, especially if children are involved.

Clicking on my rating should take you to my actual Goodreads review for the book in question. Please bear in mind that the format I've reviewed on Goodreads may not be the format I actually read.

Alternatively, if it's a movie or TV show you want to know more about, just click on the title to go to a page where you can find out more details about the movie or TV show in question; the title links will usually take you to a page on IMDB.

OK. Let's see what I've been reading, watching, and listening to, and which song I'm going to share this week, shall we? After all, that's the point of this post, and why you're here today, right?

• Reading:

This week I only read one book, because it was quite a long one. So, here's what I read, along with my book review.

Outlander by Diana Gabaldon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I'm glad I decided to go with the audio version of this, because I dread to think how hard it would have been to read most of it with a screen reader of some kind. It took some getting used to even with the audio version... Enough that I very nearly deducted a star for it. However, since apart from the Scottish dialect taking a bit to get used to, I loved this book, I'm giving it the full five stars. The historical aspects were fascinating, and the characters were interesting. I look forward to the next book.

• Watching:

This week I watched more of "Game Of Thrones" season 3, as well as more "Redwall" episodes.

I also broke down and got Netflix, so have been watching "Fuller House" on that. I loved "Full House" so have been really wanting to watch this one. I'm enjoying it, but it's not as good as the original series was. The first half of the first episode especially wasn't great, since it felt like an info dumping session to make sure you knew who was who and what they'd been doing between the end of the original series and the start of this one. Still, like I said, I'm enjoying it. Although, despite the fact I'd give five stars to the original series, I only give this series four out of five stars.

• Listening:

This week I've been listening to very little again. But Kenny Rogers died, and it made me want to listen to some of his music. Not that I don't listen at other times, since I'm a fan of it, but still. Anyway, I'll be sharing one of his songs with you this week. So, here's Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton singing "We've Got Tonight" for your listening pleasure - enjoy!
