Today I learned that ....
Bones is a real person.

I put a few of her books on hold at the library. All the e-books have a waiting list. And for now, the library is closed although it might open with curbside checkout soon.
I think I'll watch some of the TV shows. I've watched bits and pieces of them before and it never really appealed to me. I'll give it a second chance. I do remember that eye candy was pretty good.

I liked that show "Bones" and I may have heard she was a real person. I vaguely remember.
We've watched Space Force on Netflix. It was fairly good, I thought.
Also, I've just found out that Ramy season 2 is out. Season 1 was really good, so I highly recommend it.

I've been really enjoying Stargirl. It's based on a real comic (which I know nothing about). But as far as TV goes, it's premise is perfect for TV comic stuff. Although it takes place in the present, there are important connections with the previous generation of superheroes. Not sure if the math really works out but these guys may have been in DCs "golden age" of comics. So they all are sort of familiar. The present superheroes are all teens so it really fits into the CW demographic. Also in most of these kinds of stories, if the main characters did the smart thing the crisis would be resolved in 5 minutes (don't go in the basement). But they're are teens. So they very reliably don't make smart moves. Plus besides the superhero stuff there are some pretty good plot threads about family. they also try to work in some relevance to present issues in each episode. For instance there was a little bit about bullying.

Yes, I read a lot of her books.

I just got her first novel out of the library.
I did go back and watch an episode of the TV show. And it didn't appeal to me. I did like Castle a lot and the show has a lot of similarities. But I don't think I'll watch anymore Bones.
I might have to try the books. I watched Bones a couple of times and didn't like it, either.I loved Castle!
ETA - I don't like Bones either, even though it has Angel from Buffy in the show! I think the books are quite interesting.
I know, it's weird as lots of people love it. The lead actress Emily Deschanel is vegan in real life too.
Yep, very cool. One of my friends raved about the show, and as we have similar tastes, I thought I would enjoy it.
One YouTuber that I follow, Samantha Aimee, made a video about this Netflix series called She-Ra And The Princess of Power. I have been avoiding the series, because it seemed agonizingly boring, but after Samantha shared her notions, I got mildly interested.
I do like watching animations (actually prefer those over live action), and have gone through MLP Friendship is Magic, Hilda, Little Witch Academia and Card Captor Sakura. Those all were freaking awesome.
So... now I have been watching She-Ra and I actually like it. Isn't my favourite (yet), but not bad either.

I like Animations, too. of those you listed the only one I've seen was Hilda - and I loved it. as far as TV series go, I also really liked Rilakkuma & Kaoru.
There are lots of good animated movies I like but those have to go in a different thread.

Thus far, I have watched Hilda five times...
Your taste in animated movies is great, as far as I know.
I'd highly recommend Little Witch Academia. The characters have depth, there is good humour and the art is beautiful.I like Animations, too. of those you listed the only one I've seen was Hilda - and I loved it. as far as TV series go, I also really liked Rilakkuma & Kaoru.

Funny thing about Bones, I tuned into the pilot episode when it first aired, and couldn’t finish it, I thought it was boring. Flash forward a few seasons, and I was watching another Fox series, Fringe. The network moved the series to a different time slot right after Bones, and I decided to tune in early so I wouldn’t miss the beginning of Fringe. So I watched the last ten minutes of whatever Bones episode was airing that first week. Then in the following weeks I’d tune in five minutes earlier, and then five minutes earlier, and then I said what the hell why not? and watched the next episode from the beginning. And that’s how I got hooked on Bones and watched it until it ended production.
I soon got tired of Fringe and skipped the last season or two.
And while Bones was still airing, I found some of Kathy Reichs’ books in the drugstore, read a couple of pages of each, and wasn’t impressed with her writing.

I haven’t been watching much TV lately, mainly the late night talk shows with Stephen Colbert and Seth Meyers because of their take on Trump, and Last Week Tonight with John Oliver on HBO for the same reason. That’s what’s keeping me sane right now. I’m also allowing myself to be distracted by YouTube videos.
Plus reruns of M*A*S*H and The Twilight Zone because I’ve never stopped loving those shows.
