Read. Watch. Listen. Inquire.

I'm going to try and post once a week about what happens on the shows I currently watch, which are a wide range of shows. Maybe you watch them too and we can talk about it, or maybe you don't and you'll be like...oh? that looks like a really interesting show... or maybe you'll hate all the shows I watch ... either way I'm going to try it. Here's some of the shows I watch in no particular order (Part 2 coming soon): Glee (series finale last Friday, March 20) -I have loved this show these past 6 seasons. The actors and characters became a part of me and who I am. I'm sure it was like that for everyone who watched the show, forever known as Gleeks! The last episode ended in the best way possible - a tribute to the beginning and where it all began and an ending that showed where they are now. It was absolute perfection and I loved that they threw in a "Don't Stop Believing" number from the first season and with Cory Monteith. Cue the tears! Thou...

Just finished reading the last book in this trilogy by Deborah Harkness. If you like witches and vampires - and I don't mean the sparkly kind - you should definitely pick up this series. It's not just about fictitional creatures, but about love and politics and the struggle to survive in a world that doesn't understand the differences between people and culture. And for Diana Bishop, who struggles with keeping her career as a historian separate from her powers, learns along the way that she is who she is and she shouldn't change that at all. I love the characters in this book and the story that it holds. And it all began with A Discovery of Witches. I am currently reading the new Amy Tan novel. I have a strong love for books about World War II, the Holocaust and Chinese Folklore. I grew fond of Amy Tan after watching the Joy Luck Club, and all of her books are just as amazing and her storytelling abilities are something I aspire to be.

This past week my fiancé and I made a little trip to the St. Augustine Distillery . It's been open to the public for a year this March and we just happened to come across it while on our way to the winery . Needless to say, it was a great discovery. The distillery is in a former ice house. When you first walk in, you punch in a punch card because today you are going to get some work done. Next you watch a film about the history of the distillery. All the products that go into making the vodka, gin and bourbon are all from local farmers and whatever is not used is recycled back to the farms for animal food. Walking through the wooden double doors into the distillery was like walking into Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. Our tour guide, Lou, was the kind of tour guide you want on a tour of a liquor distillery. He was witty and dressed the part. After watching a short video about the distillery, the owners, the farmers and the process - all of the items that go into the liquor...
