In our Reality TV Rant, I need to just start calling it a rant because I really have nothing nice to say, I talk about RHOSLC, DWTS, and Ghosting—my new favorite reality tv show that only streams in Canada, but you can find it on YouTube.

As promised: The Trailer

And: An Episode you have to watch to see what I mean.

And head to Instagram to see the clip I posted so you can see what I’m talking about.

In our Book-to-TV television recap we discuss Long Bright River, streaming on Prime Video, and The Woman in Cabin 10, streaming on Netflix.

Then in Regular TV we briefly discuss my disdain for Stranger Things once again. We talk Eras Tour doc and A Very Jonas Christmas.

And then I give a brief little House update.

Stay tuned for Gift Guides coming the next two weeks. If you want to see last year’s guides you can look here:

Thanks so much for the privilege of your time, talk soon!

We’re throwing out the playbook this month, AKA we’ve got new categories and new rants and I can’t wait for you to hear it! Also this is the longest episode we’ve ever had—I guess these shows really bring it out in me.

We first talk Reality TV, mostly Bachelor in Paradise and we review why all the men on this season are the absolute worst.

Then we talk book to screen adaptations, The Life List, My Oxford Year, and the big finish, The Summer I Turned Pretty!

Thanks so much for the privilege of your time, talk soon!

Hi! Back from our month off! Here to tell you about way too much TV that I watched over the last two months.

Old Book, Old Show:

I Know What You Did Last Summer. Oh, do you? Shocking. Did read, won’t be watching and I tell you why.

Our old shows are two absolute gems that I don’t think I’ll ever tire of.

New Book, New Show

The newest book was full of buzz and hype and it was all cap! I’m joking, half of it was cap, the other half was pretty decent!

The new shows are here in a hoard because I’m a sucker for new TV. One you’ll surely love and one you’ll surely hate, and two mids. (Am I 13?)

BTS of the BTS(Behind the scenes of the Book-to-Screen)

N/A lol

Final Surprise

So much reality TV you’ll hardly be able to stand it. Bachelor in Paradis, Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Season Two, The SLOMW Reunion, and more!

See you in a few days for the Young Reader’s Bite. It’s Contemporary Fiction month, perfect kids summer reads and some fun new books that’ll keep them busy for at least twenty consecutive minutes!

Talk soon,

Adri

She’s quick, she’s snappy, she’s out of time. lol. It’s been a bizzee month over here so this is coming out late, obviously, but at least we’re here together now.

Here’s what we discuss in each segment.

Old Book, Old Show:

Wait, you mean to tell me I had more to say about that stupid book, Dark Matter? In three minutes I compare Blake Crouch to a disturbed second grader.

Our old show this month is Big Bang Theory and some musings on why you know everything about the show but have never watched it all the way through chronologically.

New Book, New Show

May the odds be ever in our favor as we discuss my brief thoughts on Sunrise on the Reaping (pretend to be shocked that I love it).

THREE new shows! I can’t help myself. A new Shonda Rhimes show, a scary doc, and the Mormon Wives are back, baby! With literal new babies. And a whole lot of other crap.

BTS of the BTS(Behind the scenes of the Book-to-Screen)

The trailer for We Were Liars was released. Does anyone care?

Final Surprise

Five, yes, FIVE new boo-to-screen adaptations you didn’t know about because I didn’t know about them. And I know everything.

See you in about 28 hours for our Young Reader’s Bite—we’re doing nonfiction (is it even possible??) so bring your real life, true as tea, factual and fun stories!

Talk soon,

Adri

Season 2, Episode 4 is here!

Here’s what we discuss in each segment.

Old Book, Old Show:

Dark Matter thoughts and thoughts on why so much sci-fi is written by men in first person POV with a MMC. It sure is a thinker. I tried to watch the OC again, again.

New Book, New Show

I have a dark epiphany about the book Mickey 7 live on the air. Brace yourself to be disturbed. The Electric State was good! Would watch again, maybe.

BTS of the BTS(Behind the scenes of the Book-to-Screen)

The Pride and Prejudice news swept the nation this week! Some were un-phased. (It was me, I was un-phased.)

Final Surprise

My thoughts on the two biggest TV finales of the year, both occurring within the first quarter of the year so it looks like its downhill from here.

See you in about a week for our Young Reader’s Bite—we’re doing sci-fi so bring your science, your research, and your unrealistic devices and discoveries!

Adri

Season 2, Episode 3 is here!

We’re formatting, we’re organizing, we’re getting it together! We’ve got new segments and lots of fun stuff to talk about.

Old Book, Old Show:

A Bridget Jones review from a Bridget Jones virgin and a Mormon! on The Bachelor! In the Finale?!

New Book, New Show

Democracy in Retrograde, yikes, that sounds bad. And Kate Hudson in a sitcom! A more realistic Grey’s Anatomy?!

BTS of the BTS(Behind the scenes of the Book-to-Screen)

Verity will be veritably terrible?

TBWR

An oscar nominated book-to-screen adaptation I know will make me cry and scream. A very good review that will make you want to read it even more from our friend Mike over at Books on GIF.

Upcoming Adaptations

Who knew Snow White was a sci-fi?

Final Surprise

The Duchess is in.

See you in about a week for our Young Reader’s Bite—we’re doing mysteries so bring your magnifying glass and your fingerprint dust.

Adri

We’re starting this new season with some fresh stuff.

In the first segment, now called Old Book Old Show, we talk about one of my favorites: Arrival.

Here’s the wikipedia page for the movie.

And here’s a link to the book Stories of Your Life that the movie is based on.

Here’s the song I talked about in the episode.

Next we talk about the Apple TV+ show SILO. Here’s a link to the show.

And here’s a link to the book that the show is based on. It’s called Wool by Hugh Howey.

Here’s the article I talk about in the episode with the SILO showrunner.

Then we went through some of the year’s first adaptations that have been released or are being released this month.

We slightly discuss the Tiktok ban that now doesn’t exist? Then I went through a brief rundown of the tentative themes and plans for what I’m reading this year up until May.

Thanks for joining me here and I’ll see you next week for our first ever Young Readers Letter, BookSnacks edition!

We’re back for the last month of the year!

Things I said I would link in this episode:

Children’s Book Adaptations Episode of the Podcast

My Secret Mormon Life Podcast Episode
