Hump Day Homework: The Lying Game

Twins and murder mysteries are a combination that never fails to be exciting, and the Lying Game is one of the best examples for this:

Read: The Lying Game (Sara Shepard)

Amazon

As crazy as I am about the show, Shepard's Pretty little Liars book series could never hold my attention. But With The Lying Game it seems to be the other way around, the TV show is alright, but I read the first 3 books within one week. So please, give this brilliant murder mystery a try. You won't regret it. 

Watch: The Lying Game (ABC Family)

 

I just said that the show is only alright, but it still is one of the the most enjoyable guilty pleasure shows out there. It isn't as dark and twisted as the book, but the amount of eye candy (I'm talking about the wardrobe, obviously...) makes more than up for that. And since the season two mid season finale just aired last night it's the perfect time to catch up. 

Listen To: Modern Muses Volume 1

iTunes

I was looking for the show's amazing theme song "Gun For A Tongue", and found it on this little compilation of great but underrated songs. Just check it out, you might just find a new favorite.

Peace, Love, and Coffee Breaks

Day 5: Hump Day Homework "Christmas Stories"

It's time for your weekly Hump Day Homework (Christmas edition): 

Watch: Christmas Every Day (1996)

This is the one that started it all! Started what? The ABC Family (back then known as the Family Channel) Christmas Movies! Yes that's right, this Christmassy homage to Groundhog Day, that starred the oh so dreamy Erik von Detten as a frustrated teenager reliving Christmas day over and over again, was the first of many awesome made for TV Christmas movies. And that alone is reason enough to check it out.

Listen To: Tis The Season to be Fearless

listen to me

This is hands down the coolest Christmas album I own. And it's perfect for those wanting something a little deeper (and louder) than roasting chestnuts. Highlights: Breathe Carolina's Mile High Christmas and The Maine's Ho Ho Hopefully.

Read: Christmas Fanfiction

  

Shameless self promotion, but my own Christmas Stories actually go quite well with this week's theme. So check them out if you're a Psych, Castle, or Sherlock fan. 

Peace, Love and Mistletoe
