Top Fall TV Show Lineup!!! PART 1 Returning Shows

Fall is my favorite time of the year. I love the cool weather and the changing color of the leaves. And not to mention it is FINALLY the start of the holiday season!!!!!!!! But another favorite that some of us tend to overlook during the fall season is the return and arrival of TV SHOWS! .If you have been following me for awhile you will know that I am a huge TV buff! It is probably one of the best and worst things about me. The amount of time I spend watching TV shows is to the point where I think I may need to attend support groups for TV addicts (if there is one out there). But nevertheless for those of you who are like me out there I'm sure you will enjoy this post. Here is part 1 talking about returning shows. Part 2 will focus on new shows.

RETURNING SHOWS

The Mindy Project

Returns Sept. 15 on Hulu (Season 4) 
New episodes posted every Tuesday

Words alone cannot describe how excited I am that Hulu decided to pick this show up after FOX cancelled it (worst decision ever). If you guys are not familiar, The Mindy Project is about a 30 something year old gynecologist played by the beautiful and talented Mindy Kaling, and her misadventures with love, work, and friendships in the big apple. Plenty of sappy love scenes, raunchy humor and not to mention hot guys!!! 

iZombie

Returns Oct 6 on The CW (Season 2)

With all the hype on The Walking Dead, it is no wonder why this show is so underrated. iZombie is set in the present day where zombies roam free with humans (not to the human's knowledge). It follows the story of Liv Moore, medical student, turned zombie after an unfortunate incident at a party. She now works at the morgue eating the brains of the dead and helping local enforcement solving their murders. It is super entertaining and fun to watch. I personally find it better than The Walking Dead. #sorrynotsorry

 Madam Secretary

Returns Oct 11 on CBS (Season 2)

Basically a less raunchy version of Scandal, has just enough politics to keep you interested but not bore you to death. As much as I loved Scandal when it came out, I just really got sick of Olivia Pope, She really isn't the badass she claims to be and I frankly find her getting more and more annoying.

Fresh Off The Boat

Returns Sept 22 on ABC (Season 2)

If you haven't watched this show I don't know what is wrong with you. Fresh Off The Boat is based on the biography of Eddie Huang about his experiences as a Taiwanese immigrant moving to Florida in the 90's. Plenty of humor and just a little something out there for everyone.

American Horror Story: Hotel

Returns Oct 7 on FX(Season 4)

Who doesn't like AHS? There hasn't been much reveal on what the plot is but rather just the setting in a hotel. But from watching the past seasons, I know Ryan Murphy won't disappoint and not to mention LADY GAGA will be in it. Need I say more? And for those of you who aren't familiar with AHS, it is a horror anthology. It has a different setting every season usually with the same actors portraying different characters (anyone else sad that Jessica Lange isn't coming back)

Law and Order: SVU

Returns Sept 23 on NBC (Season 17)

I know I know you guys are probably thinking another season? This is mainly for those hardcore fans like myself. I haven't got bored yet so I will continue watching this until it ends.

Hawaii 5-0

Returns Sept 25 on CBS (Season 6)

Also another underrated show. This is a reboot from the 1960s-80s version. It is about an elite police force in Hawaii. It is actually pretty entertaining and somewhat relatable which is what you would think of a cop show.

Reign

Returns Oct. 9 on The CW (Season 3)

Tells the story of the rise of Queen Mary of Scotland. It is like Gossip Girl but set in the 1500s. Great cast of characters and the plot is always changing and moving. Highly addictive especially if you are a history buff like I am (not accurate but who really cares). 

Downton Abbey

Returns Jan 3 2016 (maybe wrong) on PBS (Season 6)

And last but not least the LAST season of Downton Abbey  (bring on the tissues). When I first heard of this show I was very skeptical. It seemed very bland and just plain boring. But boy was I wrong and so glad to be wrong. I have fallen deeply and madly in love with this series and honestly it is taking a piece of my heart with it. There isn't much detail on the plot but from the trailer we can expect a very emotional season so make sure you stock up on tissues.

Current Reading List February- March 2015

With spring break finally here (at least for me) I can finally relax and read what I want. Despite being a Floridian for the last 10 + years or so I am NOT a beach person. The hot sand and pee filled ocean never really appealed to me. But getting back on topic, I haven't had much time for any pleasure reading since starting graduate school. So this spring break I am going to do a little binge reading and catch up on what's out there. Here are the ones I picked out and hope you guys might enjoy them too.

Can't We Talk About Something More Pleasant?

By Roz Chast 

A Memoir 

Out of all the books I picked up this has to be my favorite! Can't We Talk About Something More Pleasant by Roz Chast is a memoir about her relationship with her aging parents. Roz explores through family dynamics and the topic we all dread to talk about... the inevitability of DEATH. Roz takes memoirs to a whole new level by using comics to tell her story. The book is filled colorful illustrations as well as personal photos from Roz. A combination of comedy, life lessons and mostly importantly love. No matter how old we get the love for our parents never seems to change. Incredibly honest and moving, you won't want to put it down. 

Grace's Guide: The Art of Pretending to be a Grownup

By Grace Helbig

Grace Helbig has already taken the YouTube world by storm with her hilariously "informative" videos and now she is doing what every other YouTuber out there is doing... write a book. I have read a lot of the books out there written by YouTubers, but this one is definitely the most relatable. Grace covers many important topics on becoming an adult from how do date, "grown up" food, to even how to make adult friends.  But of course she adds her own hilarious spin that helps the everyday girl or guy conquer the "adult" world. Highly recommend if you are looking for a light and funny read. 

The DUFF

By Kody Keplinger

I recently just saw the movie in theaters and fell in love! I didn't realize till after I saw the movie that is it based of a book. But hey what movie isn't these days. The DUFF is a coming of age story that deals with the downs of high school more specifically being a DUFF or otherwise known as designated ugly fat friend. If you seen the trailer for the movie already you will have a sense on what the book is about. If Mean Girls and A Cinderella Story had a baby this would be it. GO and see the movie first! 

Fresh Off The Boat

By Eddie Huang

A Memoir

I started watching the TV show based off of this book and thought why not go and read it. What drew me into this book/ TV show was that it reminded me a little of my life. I know exactly and can relate to what Eddie was going through growing up in Florida after coming from a different country in the 90s. I cried so much from laughing that my family and friends thought I was going crazy.
